In a recent interview on Channel One TV’s The Chat, Sarkodie’s stylist, Trendy Rail, shared some interesting insights into the rapper’s wardrobe choices. According to Trendy Rail, Sarkodie never repeats a pair of his iconic Air Force sneakers.
“We can’t count the costumes in Sarkodie’s wardrobe. His Air Forces, for example, he doesn’t repeat them. He has a room full of trainers,” Trendy Rail disclosed during the interview.
The conversation also touched on a concerning trend in the fashion industry – the practice of throwing expensive garments into the crowd during performances. Trendy Rail expressed frustration over this practice, especially when custom-made garments costing between £8,000 to £10,000 are tossed away.
“Sarkodie had this red jacket during the 2022 Rapperholic concert, he took off the jacket and threw it in the crowd. That jacket was probably £3,000 or £4,000,” Trendy Rail lamented.
While artists may see it as a way to engage with their fans, fashion professionals like Trendy Rail are left feeling upset by the disregard for the value of these expensive pieces.
