Skepta's Best Style Moments

A founding member of grime collective Boy Better Know, Skepta is a big name in the scene. But the Tottenham native isn't just about the music—he's had some iconic style moments, too, and has been extremely vocal about why fashion plays such an important part in his life. "I've been into clothes since I was a kid," said Skepta in a recent interview with Dazed, "going to garage raves and seeing all the Tottenham gangsters wearing Moschino and Versace; I just always had a passion for it."

Ahead of Boy Better Know's defense of their reigning champion status at the Red Bull Culture Clash tomorrow, we've compiled a list of the MC's best style moments.

Skepta was a really, really big fan of Ed Hardy back in the day. He even wrote a song about it:

I've got some dumb Ed Hardy jeans actually

Dumb Ed Hardy belts actually

Dumb Ed Hardy shades actually

My bedroom's like an Ed Hardy factory

Some dumb Ed Hardy creps

Walking with a dumb Ed Hardy what?

I've got so much Ed Hardy clothes I could open my own Ed Hardy shop

Skepta had a lot to tell Dazed & Confused about the way high fashion reacts to the urban demographic:

 "I stopped wearing all that a little while ago. I just think that nowadays in the streets, loads of people are robbing each other and killing each other to keep up with rappers and everybody that’s got money. They think that buying Gucci and Louis and standing on their council estate with like £2 in their pocket and a £300 Gucci bag means that they are on a level. But when you look at the Gucci and Louis campaigns, they never pull no street guys, when it’s probably street guys and lap dancers that buy the most Louis and Gucci anyway! They’re keeping Gucci going, but they just ignore our culture and act like we don’t exist, so I threw that out there to say fuck them."
