A$AP Rocky’s AWGE Makes New York Runway Debut With Rihanna Front Row

The third runway show spotlighted live styling via on‑runway glam stations, signaling a shift toward a more wearable, culture‑rooted wardrobe.

Overview

  • Rihanna sat front row in a fur‑trimmed black leather AWGE trench styled as a minidress with lacy lingerie, sheer footless tights and pointed heels.
  • Staged in the former Emigrant Savings Bank, the off‑schedule presentation was AWGE’s third runway outing and its first in New York.
  • A$AP Rocky “broke the fourth wall” by placing glam stations on the catwalk and nodding to parenthood with mink baby carriers and a custom stroller.
  • Photographers captured a brief wardrobe slip as Rihanna entered the venue, which she quickly corrected, before she congratulated Rocky backstage.
  • GQ reported strong buyer interest in the new direction, even as Rocky’s line has yet to reach stores broadly after earlier Paris presentations.
