So I was iPod jammin’ recently and Frank Ocean’s hit Novacane came on. I got crazy inspired while listening to it and I thought about this woman who became his “novacane”. Two scenarios I drew inspiration from, the initial meeting at Coachella and the repetitive call of “model broad with a hollywood smile, stripper booty and her rack like wow”. Now I hope no one becomes offended by the last…
More+I’m back with Part II of my Last Train to Paris Fashion/Music Mash-Up . . . if you thought Part I was good, wait until you see what’s next
More+Last Train To Paris, the latest effort from Diddy, this time backed by Dawn Richard and Kaleena aka Dirty Money. This album took a minute to grow on me but when it did, I had it in rotation for almost a month straight. After one of the many repeat listens recently, I said what better album to do a fashion/music mash-up than this one. The trio is very much fashion…
More+Whattup Folks I’m back again with another Fashion/ Music Mash-Up and this time it’s for the ground-breaking album by Kanye West entitled “808′s & Heartbreak”. Now say what you want about Mr. West but he makes good music and it’s often for the soul. This release showed the raw emotions of a man going through a break-up and problems with love. Often times as men, we don’t speak on issues…
More+This fashion/music mash-up was inspired by Janelle Monae’s latest video for her song “Tightrope”. Janelle’s style is one of a kind and she always wears her signature tux and in this particular video she was rocking a pair of George Esquivel oxfords. I was inspired to take the black and white combination a step further. Check the video out, then scroll down to the looks Tightrope 1 by Fashion Citizen…
More+What’s up Citizens As most of you know Beyonce’s new release “I Am…Sasha Fierce” is out yesterday and I think it’s a pretty solid effort from Mrs. Carter. As I was listening to it, I thought about how much music plays a role in the lives of it’s listeners. Often times we all remember a song to go with a certain mood or time in our lives, we even have…
More+What’s up Fashion Citizens… I’m back again with the conclusion of our first Fashion & Music Mash-Up for Beyonce’s new release “I Am…Sasha Fierce”. Let’s get right into the fashionable interpretations of the songs… 1. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) Well it seems as if Jay-Z liked it and put a ring on it, for this look I drew inspiration from the videos paired down aesthetic. A black…
More+What’s Up Readers… I’m back with another Fashion/Music Mash-Up and this time it’s for Rihanna’s new release “Rated R”. Her private life aside, the release is indeed progression as Rihanna comes off as a tough, bad girl for the most part but also someone who is very confused in love at the same time. Talk about life imitating art, but anyways, I had a lot of fun with this one…
More+What’s up folks, I’m back with another Fashion/Music Mash Up and this time I styled the album of Erykah Badu, New Amerykah : Part 2, Return of the Ankh. This was a lot of fun because Erykah’s music is so eclectic and has many messages, so I wasn’t bound by much for these looks. If you’re not familiar with how this works, I take a look inspired by the lyrics…
More+It’s been a while since I’ve done a fashion/music mash up and I believe this is my first one on fashioncitizen.com. This fashion/music mash up is inspired by Rihanna’s LOUD album. It took me a minute to like this release, when I heard it in totality I was sold on it. Rihanna’s voice is stronger and her material is pretty dope on this release. In case you don’t what a…
