Rap is getting another look from the fashion industry as Calvin Klein has tapped Young Thug to help promote the Fall 2016 campaign.
The Atlanta rapper is shown on Instagram in a black pinstriped dress with black pants underneath. The caption explains that the look is from the 2016 women’s collection.
“I disobey in #mycalvins,” the slogan for the advertisement reads.
Young Thug has blurred gender lines before by wearing women’s clothing and using affectionate terms like “lover” when referring to other rappers.
Thugger also performed at Calvin Klein’s showcase with Urban Outfitters at SXSW this year.

In a promotional video for CK that dropped last week, he explains that he thinks a gangsta is a gangsta whether they wear a dress or baggy pants. “I feel like there’s no such thing as gender,” he says.
The 2016 campaign also features fellow rapper Frank Ocean, as well as Kate Moss, Margot Robbie, Bella Hadid and David Blaine.
