Drake 'Nothing Was the Same' Tour: Calvin Klein Designs Rapper's Stage Wardrobe For 'Would You Like A Tour?'
This is where music meets fashion. Drake, who is known for his expensive taste in luxury designer clothes, and who also raps a verse in Migos' catchy track "Versace," will be wearing wardrobe designed by Calvin Klein, during his "Nothing Was The Same" tour, "Would You Like A Tour?"
Calvin Klein has recently released a few sketches of the stage outfits that he has designed for the Toronto-native rapper's ongoing 39-city North American tour. The CK men's creative director, Italo Zucchelli, has made a small line of custom pieces inspired by the Spring/Summer 2014 collection.
Drake will be sporting a bunch of custom-made clothes, including bomber jacket, hoodies, t-shirts, tanks and pants, and the entire wardrobe will be separated into three unique capsule collections: one based on the photographic print of clouds and blue skies, one that will use high-tech fabrics with neon accents and reflective prints, and one just with denim lineup.
The Calvin Klein-designed wardrobe highlights a sky-printed hoodie that resembles the "Nothing Was The Same" album artwork, which was originally inspired by a 2011 painting by Kadir Nelson, the designer of the cover himself. The zip-up hoodie is actually a remake of the original cloud-printed T-shirt that was featured in the label's runway show. Also, a geometric-print black bomber jacket, which compliments Drake's sleek street style, is definitely noteworthy.
Drake and Calvin Klein evidently are getting along so well. "I love drake," says Calvin Klein. "He is very talented and I like his effortless attitude in terms of his style and music." During last month's New York Fashion Week, Drake showed support by attending a post-show party for Calvin Klein's S/S 2014 line, as well.
It seems that Hip-Hop artists are lately reaching for assistance from couture designers to help them complete their performance looks with unique stage outfits. It was recently revealed that the French-based couture house, Maison Martin Margiela, has designed Kanye West's eccentric gear, including his famous leather jogging pants, as well as ten haute couture pieces, 20 ready-to-wear items, and four striking head-encasing masks that he wears throughout the show.
