A$AP Rocky will be feted at the 57th NAACP Image Awards Fashion Show Feb. 27 for his contribution to style.

His influence extends far beyond fashion,” said BET executive Connie Orlando in a statement. “He has reshaped how culture, music, art and personal expression intersect on a global stage. The NAACP honoring him with the Vanguard Award celebrates not only his style, but his vision, leadership and lasting impact on the next generation of creators.”
