Show Your Swagger with This Novelty Rapper Dress with Lil' B
Ashley Noelle Lesiak — November 11, 2013 — Pop Culture
Show off your satirical swagger with this too-ridiculous-to-believe, novelty rapper dress. The graphic shows Internet legend and rap troll Lil B (or as he calls himself Based God) photo shopped on to the body of a Hindu God.
The colors on the print are very vivid, but the Photoshop is intentionally hilariously mismatched. The same image is printed on the front and on the back. The sleeves also have Lil B’s head on them. On the top of the back is an applique “BASED."
This athletic mesh dress was designed by ISABEL SIMPSON-KIRSCH for her ‘Based’ collection exclusively for VFILES. Matching shorts and a hoodie were also created for the collection. The shorts feature the same print as the dress, and the hoodie has a more kaleidoscopic mix of Hindu deity with different head shots of the hot shot rapper.
