For his performance on the Mojave Coachella stage last weekend, British-American rapper Jason Aaron Mills (aka IDK) brought racing wear to new heights. Best known for his unparalleled lyricism in hits such as “Once Upon a Time (Freestyle)” with Denzel Curry and “Shoot my Shot,” IDK made his Coachella debut in style.

Dressed by luxury French fashion house Lanvin, IDK’s custom look proves that race car driver core is the next big thing, and we have all the details. The multi-faced musician spoke with VMAN to about all things fashion, gratitude, and politics.

Read on to go behind the scenes with IDK as he breaks down his frontrunner fit. 

“I don’t put too much thought into getting ready. I only put feeling into it.”

“What LANVIN and I have created is more than a garment. We’ve told our history on the canvas of luxury.”

“Stitching, leather, and embroidery make up what we call a racing suit.”

“This racing suit proves LANVIN is superb when it comes to textures.”

“You can tell when love is involved in a creation. I can see LANVIN put the same love into producing and editing this, that we put into designing and creating this.”

“Gratitude is the antidote for unhappiness.”

“Nothing I do is political. I’m not one to choose sides between black and white, figuratively speaking. I’m simply here to choose what my heart guides me to.”

“Performances are what I do on stage, but that’s driven by what my garments do for me.”

“This outfit quickly turns me from Jason Mills to rockstar.”

“When the crowd gives you love, you give them everything.”
