It’s not very often that Hip Hop culture
inspires high fashion. During Tom Ford's Autumn Winter 2014 collection last
night at London Fashion week. Tom Ford, unveiled a ‘knock off of a knock off’ of
Jay Z‘s Tom Ford jersey. The jersey had
the designer’s name, the number 61 (year Ford was born) and the word MOLLY
crossed out.
Jay Z declared ‘I don’t pop Molly/I rock
Tom Ford,” on the single “Tom Ford” off his latest album, Magna Carter Holly
Grail, and rocks the Tom Ford jersey during his performances. It seems that fashion
designer, Tom Ford was flattered so much that he has made it part of his 2014
collection.
How did he do it? "I just took the knock off from online and knocked it off. The designer told The
Associated Press.
Jay's jersey created by BBP (Black Boy
Place), a French brand founded in 2010 sells for $65. Ford in response chuckled and told style.com "My
knockoff will sell for $6,500."
So while most of us can’t help but
snigger at Ford’s blatant and tongue in cheek homage to Jay-Z during London
Fashion Week, the Goss-IPgirl wonders what the designers at BBP will make of this?
Let’s watch this space.
