Goyard God: Roc Marciano Discusses Style & Fashion With 'Esquire'

Roc Marciano's influence is not only very clear on underground Hip-Hop scene but Hip-Hop fashion overall. The "Thread Count" rapper discussed his approach to style with Esquire.





While he is known for his prolific pen game, Roc Marciano remains a man of few words for interviews. Luckily for the culture, Esquire magazine was able to get some time with the "Vintage Jazz" MC for their popular segment "Five Fits." Here, Marci models five different outfits ranging from semi-formal, casual, cozy and an elevated approach to street style. As expected, his longtime collaborator Josué Thomas' Gallery Department brand was well represented throughout all the looks. Additionally, his preference for Los Angeles-based Hoorsenbuh's [pronounced horse-en-boo] jewelry is ever-present as he is photographed wearing their signature rings and bracelets.

else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); }
} )();


Photographer Christopher Fenimore got him to also discuss how his style has evolved over the years. When asked about the origins, Roc Marciano made it clear it all started with the culture. "Getting fly is part of the culture, the aesthetic. It says a lot about your sense of style and your taste that's important, like the music," he explained. "Looking at Rakim, him and them brothers. 'I Ain't No Joke' with the Sergio Tacchini sweatsuit on, you know what I'm saying. With the chains, that '80s drug-dealer-chic look. That was probably what kicked it off for me and my love for fashion."

Roc Marciano also briefly spoke about his music and further confirmed that he might be singing more on future projects. "Definitely, yeah. I want to make a fire piece of work on some Black Moses-type sh*t."
