I love a good trolling. If you can trick people, especially on someplace as savvy as the Internet, to believe in something that isn't true, I can't even be mad at you. Keep them believing for an extended period of time and I prostrate at your feet. The angrier people get, the better. Trolling is an art form because it's the ingenuous act of gaining a certain amount of trust in which you know should not be there. And you can only gain this kind of trust if you are thoroughly convincing. The inflection in your speech. The appeal you purvey like water in a desert. Sometimes, it's just perception of clout. Whatever the case may be, you have people hanging on to each and ever word until you give them the golden shower of shame they so rightfully deserve.

Fashion trolling is a beast in and of itself. These trolls can span from designers to style icons to brands themselves because us fashion enthusiasts eat shit up so quick we don't have time to sit back and reflect on whether or not we're being bamboozled in the first place. And that is why these trolls listed before you are doing so well in both the fashion world and, ultimately, life itself. Like, way better than us. Because us derelicts want it hard and fast with hopes to produce many ropes of stylish success.

Young Thug

I'm not ashamed to tell you that Young Thug has touched my heart in a way only someone has ungifted, frustrating and super trolling can. I mean, he's a style icon. If you disagree with his style choices that's fine, but I'm here to tell you you're wrong and I hate you for it. What other heterosexual male can rock Baby Phat and Pinkberry Couture lookin' like a hood booger with defined muscle tone, face all the ridicule of his peers and still drop heavy bars off "Two Cups Stuffed" with a complete disregard for human life?

Wil Fry

Who the fuck is Wil Fry? He did a NY Times interview a few months ago and allegedly revealed his picture, but is it even him? Is he even a "he"? OK, yes, but just asking the question made you second guess everything, right? Not only is he successful at keeping his identity close to the hip, but his trollwear has the internet its mavens alike going cuckoo. Tricking millions of digital go-hards into thinking a Givenchy Birds of Paradise print would live on the new Brooklyn Nets jersey, thus starting a mass frenzy to try and get their hands on one. Even his all-over mesh jersey and shorts set with Ian Connor's ashy demonic looking ass is getting hella play in Japan right now. Plus, he stays doing interviews with answers almost completely cut and pasted from a discussion between Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs, unbeknownst to the interviewer. He's basically doing as little work as possible to try and get as much hype as he possible can and it's working to a T. Now that's some gangsta ass troll shit.
