GUNNA — Instagram Post (September 8, 2021)
Gunna utilizes a high-contrast palette of black and white to build a look defined by vertical expansion and heavy leather textures. This specific ensemble later gained massive cultural traction after being referenced as a direct inspiration for a Rihanna Halloween look. The silhouette centers on the elongated lines of Rick Owens “Moody” Elephant boots, which create a massive, pooling foundation for the lower half. Above, the matte finish of a Dior wool turtleneck is layered under the structured, utility-heavy frame of a leather Bauhaus vest. The monochromatic tension is broken by the crisp, graphic monogram of Louis Vuitton chino shorts, balancing avant-garde proportions with classic house luxury. At Fashion Speaks, we know that clothes speak louder than people.

In an interview with billboard in 2021 following the release of Slime Language 2, Gunna revealed that the hit song ‘Solid’ was intended to be on Drakes album “Certified Lover Boy”. But when the album got delayed, Gunna asked to have it for SL2 and Young Thug got on it too.
Do you think that the original version of ‘Solid’ would have been bigger if it was on CLB or would it have gotten overshadowed by the other big songs on the album?
Trying a different style of post for #ThrowbackThursday
