ASAP Rocky For GQ May 2013, Rapper Poses For Nautical Themed Fashion Feature (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: A$AP Rocky Goes Nautical For GQ
|

A$AP Rocky continued his religious devotion to fashion with a fun-in-the-sun photo shoot for the May 2013 issue of GQ.

The Harlem-born rapper has quickly become a fashion industry darling, having already graced the covers of Interview and L'Uomo Vogue.

For A$AP's latest style spotlight, the "Fashion Killa" lyricst modeled an array of nautical themed outfits while chilling on a yacht, riding a jet ski and being flanked by a bevy of bikini-clad beauties.

This is definitely a different look then we're used to seeing on A$AP. We know from the countless blogs reporting on his personal style that the 24-year-old has a penchant for monochromatic looks by designers like Rick Owens, Alexander Wang and Hood By Air. And all that blogosphere love is lost on A$AP.

“I’m the man on those things. I don’t really look at them. Well, I guess I do, but only when I’m looking at myself. I inspire me,” A$AP told GQ.

Well, no lack of self-esteem there.


Here's a look at our favorite photos snapped by Ben Watts for the GQ feature--make sure to check out the rest over at GQ.com. Also make sure to watch the video above for some behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot.
