Young Paris has his own brand called Melanin, a collaboration with Private Policy, and is sined onto Jay Z’s Roc Nation label. No wonder he comes to NYFW: Men’s with instant fashion cred and cool. We talked style and fashion favorites with him.

Personal Style: It’s a melange of how I’m feeling that day or week, and depends on what I’m doing. I can have a tracksuit vibe when I’m running around New York. It depends on the theme and environment as I’m in music and fashion, so I guess my style is pushing the edge.

American Fashion Favorites: Jeremy Scott, Marc Jacobs, Thom Browne, Robert Geller, and Ralph Lauren.

Why I Iove Fashion: Fashion to me is a way of expression. You’re telling the public how you’re feeling and creating a conversation around your look. It’s a big question.
