The designer duds-obsesse d rap heir spills on his recent practical purchases and future fantasy buys
SHOP TALK: “Even though I love to splurge on clothes, I don’t like to be wasteful. I do like to blow money, but only if it’s necessary. If it’s what I want, I’m going to get it. One day I could wear a Burberry sweater with some Bottega Veneta low top, dressy sneakers—another day, a BBC crewneck. I put elements from different influences that inspire me and make it mine, and [focus on] what makes me most comfortable.” —As told to Niki McGloster
