A$AP Rocky has officially been named the recipient of the 2025 Fashion Icon Award at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Fashion Awards. The Harlem-born rapper, known for his groundbreaking fusion of music and high fashion, will be honored for his lasting influence on global style.
CFDA Chairman Thom Browne commended Rocky, stating, “A$AP Rocky is a Fashion Icon in the purest form. He is one of a kind. His truly original approach to fashion inspires me, and so many, to think differently.”
Since his emergence in the early 2010s, Rocky has consistently blurred the boundaries between streetwear and luxury fashion. His fearless combinations of Raf Simons, Gucci, and Dior have made him one of the most recognizable figures in modern style.
Beyond his music career, Rocky has taken on creative roles within major brands. His current position as creative director for Puma’s F1 partnership demonstrates his continued influence and innovation in the industry.
From A$AP Mob’s early street aesthetic to international red carpets, Rocky’s style evolution has always been about confidence, individuality, and cultural fusion. The CFDA’s recognition not only celebrates his personal achievements but also the impact he’s had on a generation that views fashion as a means of self-expression.
