Fun Fashion Fact! If you are wondering why rappers are Versace crazed then you have 2pac to blame. Way before 2chainz was on the scene 2pac was the man with Versace everything. While hip-hop culture embraced in urban gear, Tupac had an eye for quality Italian fabrics and jewelry. The music & fashion bridge is obvious today but back then it wasn't so common. Seems as if Tupac was the very first to make the impact which opens the gate for artists like Kanye West & ASAP Rocky who are huge fashion fans. Looks like we can thank 2pac for more than just his rhymes.
Pac was close friends with the late great Gianni Versace, so close that he even walked in the Versace runway show during Milan Fashionweek in 1996. 2Pac was the first rapper to walk in a couture fashion show haha how cool is that? Happy Birthday Tupac! Thank you for integrating hip-hop culture and fashion!
