Check out T.I.’s fashion spread in Complex Magazine’s Aug.-Sept. issue. He was interviewed by Complex’s resident fashion guru, Kanye West. I typed up some of the interview below.
Kanye West: I wanted to come and interview you on some fashion shit because you got the crown, you killin’ shit. What do you think of the whole all-over-print hoodie craze?
T.I.: I think when properly applied, it’s effective, but you got to do it in moderation. Anything where there’s too much logo and too much of a pattern, too overly done, it can be over saturated. If you do one, it better be the best one out.Kanye West: What designers do you fuck with?
T.I.: I’m classic American – Purple Label, Brooks Brothers. If I really want to step out, I do some Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, of course, Gucci. Ferragamo do their thing…It depends on my mood.Kanye West: Do you believe in wearing sandals on vacation?
T.I.: I wear flip-flops with socks all the time. That’s my airport apparel: Louis flip-flops, fresh pair of socks, and sweatpants. I don’t oppose sandals on vacation, I just do it my way.Kanye West: I love gray. I kill the gray American Apparel T-shirt. I wear that more than a white tee now.
T.I.: White tees are one thing but that natural gray, that’s another nice color.

This is funny and cute at the same time. T.I. don’t give 2 shits about fashion, lol!! I love the 1st and the 3rd pic though. He really wears these clothes well and I can see him modeling for Ralph Lauren
TI has really grown on me. I love to see a man evolve!!1
T.I. is decent looking. I thought he was so cute when he first came out but he’s still not ugly. I love the first photo! He really did the damn thing in these photos. The look is very sophisticated. He looks like a dapper, wealthy black businessman and this is how he and other black rappers should try to look all times even when he’s not wearing a suit.
Scrumptious
He usually look fine as hell but he’s OK here
Why does he look angry all the damn time? He looks grown & sexy in these pics though. Vaguely reminds me of my daughter’s pappy.
