In pictures: 25 times rappers ruled the runway

Those disruptor brands clearly influenced heritage house Chanel, who booked Pharrell for its 2016 Métiers d’Art, just before Virgil Abloh’s appointment at Louis Vuitton shifted the needle, and rappers on the runway became a regular occurrence. Now, it’s not uncommon to see a rapper on the catwalk every season, whether it’s Pusha T walking the runway for Louis Vuitton, YG making multiple appearances for Willy Chavarria, or Cardi B popping up at a Balenciaga show. Scroll through the gallery to see all those names and more. (Treach of Naughty by Nature, Tommy Hilfiger AW96 men’s, New York Fashion Week)
