The heritage of the setting was important from the beginning. The dress fits the way it does precisely on purpose. It doesn\u2019t cop out at the very end and get loose at the top so it looks more safe. No, it\u2019s a dress from a loved one\u2019s closet. Cudi and I are \u2018faux against the grain\u2019 for fun, we really are independent thinkers.\u201d Further, Abloh said \u201cfor me, it represents personal empowerment despite any social norm. It vehemently represents confidence. It\u2019s Cudi knocking on your television screen saying, \u2018Hey! Be yourself.\u2019 Day one fans of Cudi know that he isn\u2019t the norm.
