“Fashion Killa” is all about celebrating high-end fashion and the lifestyle that comes with it. A$AP Rocky uses the relationship with his girl, who’s always impeccably dressed, to showcase his own sense of style and cultural savvy. The song mixes admiration for designer brands with a catchy beat, making it an anthem for anyone who lives for style and flair.
The chorus, “Her pistol go (Bang-bang, boom-boom, pop-pop),” is a metaphor for her stunning impact in the fashion game. Rocky dubs her a fashion killa, elevating her sartorial sense, while calling himself a trendy nigga, underlining his own stylish reputation. This mutual admiration sets the tone for the song.
In the first verse, Rocky’s girl is described as someone who’s always poppin’ tags (buying new clothes). She indulges in luxury brands like Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Balenciaga, showcasing her elite fashion taste. Rocky himself is sipping purple syrup (likely a reference to lean), adding to the laid-back, high-class vibe. He compares her attitude to Rihanna’s—a nod to confidence and swagger.
In the second verse, Rocky runs through an extensive list of high-end brands. He appreciates her Jil Sander and Oliver Peoples, along with sneakers from Visvim and outfits from Lanvin or Balmain. He loves her Dior and Damir Doma, calling attention to her top-tier fashion sense. This verse underscores the depth of her wardrobe and his respect for it.
Closing out, Rocky mentions they can go away together and enjoy their fashionable lives in harmony. He highlights how their emotions and styles blend seamlessly, creating an unbreakable bond. The repeating chorus reinforces the idea that they are both killers in the fashion scene, making their presence known wherever they go.
