The British rapper walked Demna's Gucci debut and fronted Supreme's campaign for its collaboration with True Religion.

Vincenzo Nischal Camille Bhatia, known as Fakemink, is a British rapper who walked the runway at Demna's inaugural Autumn/Winter 2026 Gucci show in Milan in February 2026. Cast alongside other underground cultural figures to introduce an internet-naïve energy to the house, he paused mid-runway to check his mobile phone.
Born in Ilford, East London, in January 2005 to parents of Indian Punjabi and Algerian heritage, and raised in Basildon, Essex, he began producing beats at age 10. He released music under the alias 9090gate starting in 2019 before adopting the moniker Fakemink.
Fakemink cultivates a distinctive aesthetic that pairs everyday sportswear and Gap polo shirts with archival pieces from houses including Maison Margiela, Prada and Louis Vuitton. He regularly weaves luxury fashion references directly into his discography, including the tracks LV Sandals, Easter Pink and MAKKA.
In August 2025, Fakemink was photographed by Hedi Slimane for the cover of The Face magazine's Autumn 2025 issue. He fronted Supreme's Autumn/Winter 2025 campaign with True Religion in November 2025.
He has received public endorsements from figures including Drake, Playboi Carti and Frank Ocean.
