According to Luxist.com, everyone in the G.O.O.D. Music camp are now required to wear tailored suits. This is all a part of Kanye’s “Rosewood Movement” which also includes “good manners, no profanity in public, calling your grandmother and taking care of your kids.”
Whatever happened to just wearing Polo?
Even Big Sean made the switch!
“Leading by example is being taken a step even further. Rap singer and record producer, Kanye West, is apparently requiring everyone associated with his G.O.O.D. music distribution company to dress alike—something he is calling the “Rosewood Movement”. West and his posse, which at times includes fellow musician and G.O.O.D. client John Legend, are seen at events dressed in matching attire.
The Rosewood Movement is a fashion initiative in which Kanye and his group wear the same sharply tailored suits. It stems from the Rosewood Civil Rights Movement, but in this case is meant to raise the level of sophistication within the rap and hip hop worlds. Kanye is known to be a fashion trend setter, so this is meant to influence his followers to dress a bit sharper.
The current dress code is a Dior Homme Black Classic Skinny Suit (as seen on West in this photo). It is sold in Beverly Hills and New York City boutiques and retails for $2,200. It is available during every season.
West has explained in interviews that the Rosewood Movement is much more than just a fashion statement. It also includes good manners, no profanity in public, “calling your grandmother” and “taking care of your kids.”
The Rosewood Movement launched in July and other suits West’s group have worn include Lanvin and Club Monaco. Dior Homme will continue to be the suit of choice until further notice.
The classic look works well for West.”
#rosewood = dope.
But I’ma just stick with my streetwear until I get rich, yo… what happened to just wearing a Polo and calling it a day?!?! KILLING. MY. WALLETS. KANYE.
^^^^^
AGREED!
“Y’all niggas wear suits cuz y’all can’t dress no more” (c) Kanye West

I thought that same exact thing when he started the suit thing!!! HAHAHAHAHA. Oh well. Kanye changed his mind about Twitter too, and now we have one of the most interesting profiles to date. #yeshrug
he’s power struck.
In a way I can see the positive in this. There is nothing wrong with being clean and well mannered. I think if this trickles down to the youth somewhat maybe more youth with care more about self pride. There sure isn’t anything wrong with taking care of kids and kissing grandma’. After his outburst maybe an O.G. Has groomed him just a bit. I’m not saying I will have tailored suits tomorrow but maybe we can all use some type of self improvement.

Kanye is a fag and the leader of this new skittles skinny jean movement. Whoever on Good music that agree to wear a fucking skinny suit is gay too. Theres nothing wrong with dressing nicer but you can’t make a real man wear skinny nothing.
Does that mean G.O.O.D. music will never sign a fat guy? What would a fat guy look like in Dior Homme Black Classic SKINNY Suit?
so will GLCs youtube vids be really “G” rated now and tippin’ suits instead of t-shirts now?
I started wearin suits on stage years ago. Tell Kanya to stop jackin my steez. Plus Jay’s been doin it for years
So the clothes make the man? Fuck outta here…wear what you are comfortable in, any mug that conforms to this shit should be ashamed of themselves, forreal.
fuck this clown straight up joe
