.ghalifoh is already Italy's most famous rapper, but here is why he's become a darling of the fashion industry as well.
In Italy, Ghali is everywhere. It’s impossible not to hear him: he’s the country’s most famous rapper. And it’s impossible not to see him, since he’s six-foot-five and lanky, with a Gumby-like silhouette and a head full of dip-dyed dreads. Over the phone, the 26-year-old tells me that his classmates in school used to tease him by calling him “.” At first, I think this term is a type of spaghetti—and why not? Like a noodle, Ghali is thin and bendy—but it’s actually slang for “tall man.
Born Ghali Amdouni to Tunisian parents outside of Milan, the Italian trap rapper also has an unusually appealing sense of style. Earlier this month at the Venice Film Festival,, and in lieu of a tie, he fastened his collar with a piece of Alyx hardware; a clasp. He was both clean cut and endearingly awkward with a funky train of black fabric sprouting from his hip. The ensemble was put together by his stylist of three years, Ramona Tabita.
Ghali’s style is rooted in his music, which in turn is rooted in his biography. Some of his songs counter Italian stereotypes about migrants; others deal with his background as a child of North African immigrants. His family moved around a lot when Ghali was a kid. In 2003, they finally settled in Baggio, one of the roughest suburbs of Milan. “There was art in Milan but not so much in Baggio, except for graffiti.” The street art was one inspiration.
While he salutes North African fashion, there is no doubt that Ghali also loves contemporary European labels, such as Gucci. He’s become a bit of a brand darling, wearing Gucci on his tours, whether that is a pair of monogrammed sweatpants, a sweatshirt with glitzy interlockings or a Gucci suit emblazoned with the New York Yankees logo. “I love and really appreciate [Gucci creative director] Alessandro Michele.
As for the future of Ghali’s music and personal style, he plans to explore more of his Tunisian roots. “I’m discovering my culture more. I am doing it in the new album and in fashion as well. I’m a mix for real between European culture and North African culture, and you can see that in my style,” he says.
