Biggie said it best with his 1996 smash Hypnotize - ‘I put hoes in NY onto DKNY (uh-huh) Miami, D.C. prefer Versace (that's right), All Philly hoes, dough and Moschino (c'mon)’. And now it seems that UK Versace/Moschino purveyors ‘
Zone7Style’ are keeping those words alive. One look at their site and Biggie would be making it rain from the grave. If you love the silken garishness of ‘Versays’ as much as I do, Zone7Style is about to soccer punch you two times with their endless roll call of only the finest in old school mack daddy fashion.
Seth Bradley’s online mecca houses some of the most epic ranges from not only Versace but Moschino, Cazal, vintage Nike and Agassi wear, Gianfrano, Christian Lacroix, Givenchy, Polo, Ralph Lauren, Biagotti and the list goes on. If you were poppin’ Cristal and throwing down millis on yacht parties back in the early ‘90s, chances are you’ll find your old wardrobe here.
It’s true to say that Gianni has never gone out of fashion and since his untimely death in ’97, us hip hop heads have tipped our 40s and held our blunts high for the ‘high priest of excessive flavour’. Biggie became the spokesperson, in our eyes, for the high-end Italian brand, making wannabe gangsters and wiggas want to flow the same steez as the Notorious one. How’s that rap talk for ya?!!
Fourteen years later we still hold his all-over jewel print silk shirts in high regard, kneeling at the feet of the one and only Ms Lady Gaga for bringing his shits back so fierce and ferociously.
Wanna look the part? Then stop reading this drivel and head on over to the insane Zone7Style blog and make sure to hit up Seth for prices and sizes!
