Young Thug Featured in CR Fashion Book

Already featuring an art collection curated by Kanye West, Carine Roitfeld‘s newest issue of CR Fashion Book continues to see the inclusion of prominent hip-hop songsters, as Young Thug receives a spread within the esteemed magazine. The issue draws inspiration from the idea of jolie laide, French for “pretty ugly,” as the former helm of Vogue Paris attempts to discover ”the vague line between temptation and repulsion,” using Dutch anomalous model Lara Stone as an example. Dressed in threads from established and emerging houses alike — such as Eckhaus Latta, Dior, Siki Im and Maison Margiela — Young Thug is used as a subject to challenge how “something ugly can become beautiful and vice versa.” For more information on the issue, visit CR Fashion Book, and to read Carine Roitfeld’s editor’s note, click here. Issue 6 is available on newsstands now.
