R
ocky joins filmmaker
Larry Clark, actor Rod
Paradot and model Dylan
Roques in wearing Dior
Homme’s
skate-inspired
collection. Photographed
by Willy Vanderperre and
styled by Olivier Rizzo,
each male muse uniquely
serves as inspiration for Van
Assche. In a press release
from the brand, Rocky
is pegged as “today’s
urban dandy;” Clark —
famously known for his di-
rectorial debut of “Kids”
— embodies a “brooding
elegance;” Paradot, at 20
years old, represents mil-
lennial youth and a new
generation of cinema; and
Roques, a runway exclu-
sive and fit model for the
French fashion label, is the
personification
of
Van
Assche’s “radical fashion
vision.”

“Aside from fashion goes, just
the way that, like, the mono-
tone or the way I would pitch
my voices, just the nuances or
my beat selections or the way
I produce songs, I feel like a
lot of kids that come up now
inherited that,” he went on to
add. “With that being said,
that’s what I’m doing it for.
I’m not trying to point down
on them or whatever. I know
who Flex was directly talking
to. It was probably, like, es-
tablished artists who have no
right or business doing that
kind of stuff from contempo-
rary artists, but it is what it is.
We living in a day and time
where none of this shit mat-
ters anyway, so it’s all smiles.”
