Watch Telfar Clemens and Swae Lee talk Backwards Polo Shirts and Bell Bottoms forward of The CFDA Awards

before Monday nighttime, Telfar Clemens and Swae Lee had by no means met, but they'd each admired one one more's swagger from afar: Clemens was keen on the rapper's song while Swae Lee, née Khalif Brown, was a follower of Clemens's vogue label. the two eventually crossed paths when Clemens was requested to dress Lee for this 12 months's CFDA Awards. Brown selected one of Clemens's backwards polo shirts and a pair of bell-backside pants.

"He's a cool dude, and not that many americans are cool," the dressmaker spoke of of the "Drinks on Us" rapper and his choice of outfit. Clemens changed into nominated for accent dressmaker of the year, and as such chose a crossbody two-tone bag for himself whereas Brown opted out of a murse in desire of diamond bracelets and necklaces.

"I consider like I'm in France!" Brown declared, slipping on his slick Telfar outfit—white leather-based boots and emblem belt protected—at the PUBLIC resort just earlier than leaving for the massive experience. "carry the crumpets and my car up automatically," he quipped with fun. Brown become feeling fancy, thanks to Clemens. both naturally grew to be quick friends, bonding over, what else? style, it's. within the phrases of Brown, "fly as fuck."

here's how both got here together to get decked out for the CFDA Awards.
