Decoding rapper MCK's controversial "eccentric" style

Báo Dân tríBáo Dân trí05/08/2024


Becoming an idol of many young Vietnamese people thanks to his unique music, rapper MCK's (real name Nghiem Vu Hoang Long, born in 1999) style is still considered "difficult to appreciate".

"Crazy" quality like no other

Since his early days of fame, MCK has been loyal to the style of clothing associated with hip hop culture such as T-shirts, loose hoodies, baggy pants, and a few accessories to create highlights. The Hanoi rapper has paid special attention to Bape - a Japanese street fashion brand.

It is understandable that MCK wears Bape designs as this is one of the brands closely associated with rap music. Famous rappers in the world such as Kanye West and Pharrell have also been associated with this brand from the land of cherry blossoms.

However, MCK's rough and tumble image soon disappeared when he started to change his image. One of the first things he did was change to a black-toned wardrobe.

Earlier this year, the appearance of the 1999-born boy at an awards ceremony sparked a wave of controversy.

The reason came from the fact that he wore kiss boots - the high heels that made Rick Owens famous, making him stand out from the rest of the stars standing next to him. The total value of the Rick Owens designs he wore at that time was estimated to be no less than 100 million VND. Because of this appearance, he was considered "eccentric" and "arrogant".

In mid-July, the owner of the song "Sinking Deep" continued to become the center of attention when he performed with a face without eyebrows, wearing a long, tight tank top, baggy jeans and accented with a studded choker necklace. These are also products that are very Rick Owens' own style.

Is there anyone like MCK?

The strange image that MCK pursues makes the online community compare him with other rappers in the country. Some people think that being a rapper does not mean dressing in a unique way. However, MCK is not alone in his journey of pursuing a "strange" style.

Many famous rappers around the world also love and show respect for Rick Owens through their lyrics. In A$AP Rocky's 2011 hit, Peso , the rapper sings: "Rick Owens is what I wear." The designer's products have become increasingly popular among teenagers due to the rap scene, according to The Pony Express.

Outfit inspiration videos created on social media platforms are also the reason why Rick Owens outfits have exploded among young people. A typical example is content creator Wisdom Kaye, who has attracted over 8.6 million followers thanks to her styling of high-end clothes. Many Rick Owens items are seen in the videos.

Mark Tuan (member of Korean boy band - GOT7) was also seen at Paris Fashion Week (France) in his signature high-heeled boots. Even Sam Smith - the singer and songwriter famous for his genderless style - could not hide his love for Rick Owens products.

Lil Baby - one of the most well-dressed people in the rap industry - once appeared with a hood, revealing only his eyes. This is also a characteristic of the fashion house, which is famous for its high eccentricity. MCK once wore this type of hat when he started his new image building days.

The man known as the "dark lord"

Anyone who follows Rick Owens' style will start with dark-wear. When describing Rick Owens' aesthetic, words like proto-punk, glunge, dark, and post-apocalyptic are often used.

Culted magazine even said that Rick Owens' designs look like they come from the workshop of a mental hospital. His products often combine minimalism and luxury with a characteristic gothic grunge feel. Neutral and dark tones are the brand's iconic color palette.

As the creator of this style, Rick Owens also has an equally "eccentric" way of dressing in everyday life. Wearing kiss boots, wearing tank tops to show off his muscles, and having long black hair are factors that help others easily identify him.

Rick Owens (born 1961, California, USA) studied at Otis College of Art and Design. He decided to drop out and take design classes to start turning his love of art into fashion creations. He launched his clothing brand in 1994.

Seven years later, Owens achieved his first success after Kate Moss wore his designs in Vogue Paris . Determined to take his brand to new heights, he presented his first collection at New York Fashion Week (USA) in 2002.

When it comes to Rick Owens, Michèle Lamy - his soul mate and "eternal" muse - is considered an indispensable piece. They married in 2006, continuing the journey of building a mysterious brand.

Today, Rick Owens is one of the few brands that can be easily recognized without a logo or monogram. Based on the iconic sole, long shoelaces or the color and style of the clothing, fans can know that it is a Rick Owens creation.
