After performing at Kanye West’s Fall 2012 fashion show in Paris, it seems Waka Flocka Flame came back to the States with a few stylish pieces. The rapper was spied wearing a $785 Birds of Paradise T-Shirt by Givenchy.
The cotton crewneck short sleeve tee features a birds of paradise print, which was ubiquitous during the brand’s Spring/Summer 2012 men’s show:
Givenchy is a certified fave of Mr. West and now it seems Waka is a fan as well. For some reason I never thought I’d see the day when Waka wore Givenchy, but it looks good on him, no?
Guys, if you’re willing to splurge, get Waka’s tee here.
The funky cowhide sneaks feature a leopard print and black laces:
Guys, would you rock ‘em? And ladies, what say you?

A slew of stars turned out for Trey Songz’s “Anticipation 2our” afterparty at Vanquish Nightclub in Atlanta. One of the stylish gentleman present was T.I., who rocked a USC fitted cap, sunnies and black denim, paired with a $60 LDRS Wild Things Crewneck and a $340 Gucci Interlocking G Belt:
His crewneck features the LDRS logo in leopard print.
His belt is crafted from black Venice calfskin and features a round double G buckle.
T.I. looks cool, but stylish as always! I like the way he mixes high and low and clearly he isn’t afraid to rock leopard print.

“… I am in love with it!” Terrence J spread love the Brooklyn Way in a haute sweatshirt created by Harlem based brand Belchez.
Born from artist Sean Cort, the line comprises cool t’s and sweatshirts depicting urban and hip-hop artists. Check out a few designs:
A true underground designer, I couldn’t find anywhere that actually sells Belchez pieces, though you can tweet the designer @Belchez115 or find him on Facebook here.
Good luck!
Update: According to his twitter, the www.belcheznyc.com e-store should launch in two weeks. Stay tuned…!
