He has taken a lot influence from Mexican designers Arlette and Willy Chavarria as well as Chicano culture. His album cover for Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers as well as his music video NLU where he is in all white, he is dressed like a Chicano from the 80's and early 90's. He even posted his inspiration on his finsta jojoruski.
Oh so you’re relieved you are not the only person on the planet to appreciate a huge artist’s fashion? Thank god there is at least one other person on your level! It must be hard breathing such rarified air. Is your personal style equally well thought out and stylish or are you simply a sage observer?
@@jamesmccaul2945 This was outta left field and uncalled for, The person just said that they were glad that they weren't the only one appreciating his fit, why are you making it deeper than it is?
Saw him in concert in last year; his style, his aura, is the thing that stood out. I recall exactly what he wore like it was yesterday and remember thinking “this is someone who knows exactly who he is.” It's amazing when an artist's style and presence resonate deeply.
The black hat that says “God” in the NLUS music video was from an LA Mexican fashion brand called “Ghetto Rodeo” Kendrick is really showing love to small brands
I think, somewhere between TPAB and DAMN, Kendrick started to see and understand that fashion is an artform that he can use as an extension of his art so in his DAMN era, he really started tapping into fashion. His DAMN, Mr Morale and now GNX eras have different styles. You can tell from a photo which era he was/is in. But now he is being more intentional about who he collaborates with because he also understands his influence. Love your findings. New sub from me.
This is a really great observation. Recently revisiting Kendrick's MV's from the TPAB era and its all very vaguely defined but trendy for the mid-to-late 2010s. Then DAMN felt more personalised in a stylistic sense, but I really think towards the emergence of Baby Keem and Melodic Blue's release in 2021 that Kendrick's new-found fashion and collabs with Martine Rose became well established. Its almost like with 6 albums now you can cut Kendrick's discography in half from Section80 to TPAB and then DAMN to GNX based on his use of fashion. Untitled Unmastered is the bridge between both.
@jordanp9351 I love this take. The fact that Untitled Unmastered is the bridge between TPAB and DAMN sonically, conceptually, style-wise, and visually (even though UU doesn't have any mysic videos) makes it an even more important project in his discography.
its in Hillbillies where he claims hes best dressed moving forward. the shift really happened during the Super Bowl performance with Dre, which matches up more with Keems Melodic Blue, pre-roll out to Mr Morale rather than DAMN., thats too early
I love the uniqueness of Kendrick's style recently. He looks timeless in the pictures we are currently seing of him, while still fitting the moment. I think that's what great art is able to do more then anything
Art vs celebrity, he’s not constantly spamming us with news about his life, letting his works stand for themselves. He could be proclaiming all his charity work but sees it’s not about him first but the community he is trying to improve. Separating the art from the artist as he’s talked about before.
YES!! I’m so glad you’re talking about this!! The way I’ve wanted to reach through the screen and take every one of his outfits for myself over the past few years has been driving me crazy lol, and the evolution in his fashion has so clearly blossomed!! It’s so cool! His designers are phenomenal!!
Great vid! Been wanting someone to talk about this as he has been killing it. He knows how to be minimalist and profile all his looks. You can tell he knows what fits him. More so it's his confidence than anything else that really beams through it all.
amazing video, i remember pointing it out that he looks different to my friends. then i realized that he’s been consistently working out & probably has a clean diet. even in the new album he mentioned running 6 miles to get his wind. in the “pop out” concert he did the whole thing in a hoodie and did not once look tired. pair that with some amazing garments by some amazing creators it’ll birth a new style
As a creative and Kendrick fan I am happy to see this content. He also partners With Mexican American brands Willy Chavarria and Ghetto Rodeo as he also pays homage to LA Mexican culture
Awesome video, very thoughtful. It's cool how through your analysis we can draw a very strong link between kendrick's fashion and messaging in his music, not only through the clothes themselves but the people behind them.
I love Kendrick Lamar’s aesthetic recently in his style and his music. I love how he always pays homage to the culture that raised him. Enjoyed this video, please keep making more content.
Very nice video. I’m not used to seeing people analyze fashion at this level. It’s pretty cool how we use clothing to achieve different things. Not just for the sake of not being naked. Thank you for reminding me of this!
this deserves to go viral fr.. kendrick giving the spotlight to black women post-war has been amazing and hasnt been talked about at all. even the editor in chief of harpers bazaar is a black woman and she got the first look from him.. and sza will co-headline his tour..
Great Video however I’d Argue that Grace Wales Bonner touches on the Afro-Caribbean diaspora blended with European tailoring. I think this is because her heritage is more towards the Afro-Caribbean’s who immigrated to the UK.
I heard from another commentator that Taz Arnold of the band Sa-Ra Creative Partners was also a big style icon for Kendrick, I thought that was interesting too. GNX has LA culture all over it. Thanks for your perspective
Kendrick has always been fashionable he knows his style and wears it well you should see what he wore during the day n Vegas festival he looked like new age Jesus in all white
Cool vid - in the next one if you do something similar you should show more examples and break them down. That extra level of specificity will do dividends!
He’s literally just getting hyphy, he’s using Mac Dre, e40 and 2Short’s style and optimizing it. This music is built to be blasted through car speakers at a stop light. It’s a Bay Area culture thing and a mix of all of California’s style with culture be it Spanish, black, or any color .
This video was great! I've never heard of Bonner or Rose, I don't know much about fashion but I just subbed. Your insight is appreciated, hoping this video gets more views
@@usrnamejada hahahahaha it was nice you could sit with the information and i could just skip it after all also it kept me intrigued idk i liked it lol
Hey Jada! New Sub here! binging your videos. Please if you take video requests do Megan thee Stallion and Meghan Markle style evolution. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving.
His style is ever Black Uncle back in the day.😂 Lol WYT people. He just is bringing it to everyone elses attention who dont teally know black people and culture but they think the do. DJ VladTv probably thinks Kendrick started this style😅
He has taken a lot influence from Mexican designers Arlette and Willy Chavarria as well as Chicano culture. His album cover for Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers as well as his music video NLU where he is in all white, he is dressed like a Chicano from the 80's and early 90's.

Influence from Chicano culture ??? Gotta be a joke.
arlette is amazing i recently bought one of her necklaces recently, hope she gets more recognition
Jokes on you, LA been heritage by mexican culture a lot. actually Los Angeles was once the part of Mexico..@@thacosmoswahnted3320
I was gonna mention Willy Chavarria. Cause all the clips from “Not Like Us” Kendrick Lamar is wear his clothes.
@@thacosmoswahnted3320 Yes Chicano culture, why is that a problem?
K. Dot has been looking particularly fresh lately. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Hey look it’s the eminem glazer (I am also one as well)

I’ve been noticing his style too as of late. He seems intentional about who he wears and platforms. Love the way you break down your findings :)

I agree with this. Didn’t know how to describe it but noticed he started dressing like an art gallery with DAMN.

this was very well done! I haven't seen anyone talk about this aspect of Kendrick yet.

He could be proclaiming all his charity work but sees it’s not about him first but the community he is trying to improve. Separating the art from the artist as he’s talked about before.
kendrick speaks to me on a human level through the internet, teaching me things about the world that we live in, great man.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!!

Kendrick new style is *chef kiss*
it screams maturity
how do you guys feel about his new style? ⭐️
it’s 🔥🔥🔥
he looks fantastic 👑🖤✨
Great vid! Been wanting someone to talk about this as he has been killing it. He knows how to be minimalist and profile all his looks. You can tell he knows what fits him. More so it's his confidence than anything else that really beams through it all.
I love it 💯
i honestly think he might be the best dressed man right now
Absolutely love it!❤
this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching ❤️
This video timing is crazy, I’ve been wondering why his style randomly became so appealing the other day, and his skin just started glowing.
amazing video, i remember pointing it out that he looks different to my friends.
then i realized that he’s been consistently working out & probably has a clean diet.
even in the new album he mentioned running 6 miles to get his wind.
in the “pop out” concert he did the whole thing in a hoodie and did not once look tired.
pair that with some amazing garments by some amazing creators it’ll birth a new style
Yesssss more videos on Kendrick on the style front! Much appreciated for this!
Kendrick is one of my top idols currently I really appreciate this. Beautifully edited video hopefully this channel blows up soon
kenny is such a unit like uniting with bonner and rose is sooooo on brand
As a creative and Kendrick fan I am happy to see this content. He also partners With Mexican American brands Willy Chavarria and Ghetto Rodeo as he also pays homage to LA Mexican culture

I’m glad somebody noticed this because I said “ he got a new stylist that match his fire lyrics” thank you sis.
Ahhhh you have a great voice, it’s nice to listen too. & also great video

Great video Jada, thanks for highlighting a unique and interesting angle !
first quality of analysis of his new era of fashion. Been looking for this. Good for beginners too. Great content!
So happy to have serendipitously stumbled onto your page (in the middle of a general search for Mr Lamar). You are truly brilliant 💐🌺🥀🌹
I heard from another commentator that Taz Arnold of the band Sa-Ra Creative Partners was also a big style icon for Kendrick, I thought that was interesting too. GNX has LA culture all over it. Thanks for your perspective
He really is best dressed 🔥
Absolutely loved this video! Made me want to change my style a bit ❤
Thank you sooo much!!
Im just happy martine & grace is getting more attention 😁 need to shift who runs fashion

Yes! I definitely will, thank you ☺️
I really enjoy this piece🙏🏼 Hope they all watch your video ❤
Enjoyed this - nice macro-level analysis, and I learned about these 2 designers. Could you do a video breaking down some of Kendrick's specific fits?
He’s literally just getting hyphy, he’s using Mac Dre, e40 and 2Short’s style and optimizing it. This music is built to be blasted through car speakers at a stop light. It’s a Bay Area culture thing and a mix of all of California’s style with culture be it Spanish, black, or any color .
Love this! Your analysis is so on point. 💜
He’s been stylin since GKMC
This video was great! I've never heard of Bonner or Rose, I don't know much about fashion but I just subbed. Your insight is appreciated, hoping this video gets more views

Finally someone talks about this
After the drake beef I was seeing fit pics of Kendrick and I was like damn, he up there with rocky when it come to style
i really love his style, i got influenced, but i don't have money. LMAO great video
Amazing video
Thank you!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I do not understand fashion at all. All of what you said I am not processing it. I just like how some of this fancy stuff looks.
Subscribed, by the way. Love the educational value of your videos.
Don’t try to understand Fashion let Fashion understand you 👍🏽
@ agreed.
bro really learned how to ptso overnight
lil fade out at the end? lmfaoooo
@@larissa755 yes I’m working on it lol
@@usrnamejada hahahahaha it was nice you could sit with the information and i could just skip it after all also it kept me intrigued idk i liked it lol
I think it would blow up more if the intro was more audible. It got louder, but the volume of the voice is all over the place.
All I'm wearing is Wales Bonner, feeling good I might wear no
🗣️📢New Subscriber‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video Jada👍🏿😎
Thank you!!!❤️❤️
cool video, didn't know he did those collabs! btw, i think u accidentally left 2 minutes of blank at the end.
Nah she tryna get that 💸
The best Kendrick is Kungfu Kenny
Damn you bad
Is that i wonder from kanye playing in the background? 6:35
Piano cover
Drakeo the ruler
Oh, this is not about his music/lyrical style?
nope 🥰
Hey Jada! New Sub here! binging your videos. Please if you take video requests do Megan thee Stallion and Meghan Markle style evolution. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving.
Yes ill definitely do some research and thank you for the suggestion and supporting my channel 🥺❤️
idk if this is intentional but theres like 2 minutes of nothing at the end of your video.
It is, working on it
i9 hate the puffy ass shit hes been wearing this ear of fashion was so bad
His new style is a ripoff of Drakeo.
His style is ever Black Uncle back in the day.😂 Lol WYT people. He just is bringing it to everyone elses attention who dont teally know black people and culture but they think the do. DJ VladTv probably thinks Kendrick started this style😅
okay.. lol
