Newly minted Grammy-winning rap artist Doechii made a monumental statement at the awards, outfitting both herself and over a dozen dancers in full Thom Browne for her performance of “Catfish” and “Denial is a River.” The American designer, best known for redefining modern suiting, is far from an emerging name — he’s the CFDA chairman (succeeding Tom Ford) and largely credited with popularizing the high-fashion “man skirt.”
Still, for those less immersed in the world of fashion designers, the choice may have raised a few questions: Why so solemn? Are they dressed as schoolboys? And what’s the deal with those little stripes? But for anyone already clued in, one message was clear: Doechii knows fashion.
