The hotly anticipated show had the rapper’s name in the invitation and was called: “A$AP Rocky: AMERICAN SABOTAGE". It was a special runway because it wasn’t just fashion that was spoken about but it was a political satire too.

On the runway, models wore some eye-catching clothes with huge flags that read “Don’t Be Dumb”, as a nod to the title of the rapper's long-teased upcoming album. 

The show was held in The Hôtel de Maisons - a French stately home. Models walked to pumping rap music and flashing lights. At the venue, guests were given fans printed with anti-war symbols to cool themselves off as they waited. The mansion was flooded with political posters mocking articles with headlines like, “Every US citizen has agreed to be more than happy to be pissed off.”

There were also posters like, "Pull up your pants, no one wants to see your underwear," highlighting the intersection between style and politics and A$AP's use of fashion as an act of protest.

Prior to the show, A$AP Rocky told GQ in an interview that the show would be a "political satire".
