Desiigner might be a confusing act to understand but it’s clear to see that he has fashion ambitions like his label boss Kanye West.
The ultra-hyper artiste, who spells his name with an extra ‘i’ and adds one more ‘i’ to the ‘Timmy’, was recently included on a Vogue Fashion Fund panel led by legendary editor of Vogue Magazine, Anna Wintour with fashion brand Stampd which was there to present a wearable tech piece the company had been asked to create.
Most finalists brought social media influencers, but Stampd stepped it up by inviting Desiigner as a guest and model.
Desiigner took center stage, modelling the suit he was wearing and explaining his tattoo about chasing dreams. ‘Chase your dreams. It’s a movement, baby,’ he told the panel.
‘Chasing every last one of them and catching them,’ he added. As he turned to leave, he was asked by the presenter to do an accapella version of his hit song, ‘Tiimmy Turner’. He was only too pleased to oblige and even got a wide smile out of the normally stern faced Wintour.
