We’re back, yes we’re back. This week we pay homage to yet another unmistakable Style Icon. We delve into his super-sagging, loose-fitting pants (ha!) and admire his double denim, fashion forwardness as we tie baby pink bandanas over our own hair in tribute. The latest segue into the land of culturally distinct Style Icons jumps […]
Style Icon: Shabba Ranks.
Effortless, unconcerned, cool. Shabba Ranks’ relevance has taken a notable spike these past two years and justifiably so. A stand out figure of 90s’ dancehall and frankly pop culture too, this week’s Style Icon foray delves into the Champion Lover’s fantastic, unparalleled island flair. We’ve had Harlem’s A$AP Ferg pay homage to the dancehall legend […]
Style Icon: M.I.A.
M.I.A can pull absolutely anything off. Whether we love or hate it, whether we’re perplexed by it or understand it, she does bizarre and striking, fashion-forward quirk like no other. Probably the youngest subject we’ve taken a look at yet, this week’s Style Icon foray delves into the Bring The Noize artist’s style files ahead […]
Style Icon: Nas.
Nasty Nas. From street soldier silhouettes to manicured yet laid-back sartorial threads. Flawless skin and dreamy masculinity personified. There’s no way I’m getting through this week’s ode to style iconicity without a little swoon and some girl talk, so bear with me… Dropping the much acclaimed Illmatic in 1994, Nas’ illustrious 22 plus years in […]
Style Icon: Eartha Kitt.
The stylings of the arresting voice that was Eartha Kitt, step into the spotlight for this week’s Style Icon edition. Sassy, alluring and daring in personality, we explore the exteriors that draped this self-tilted ‘sex kitten’ of Santa Baby fame. The most exciting woman in the world.” – Orson Welles. Eartha Kitt’s African American, Cherokee […]
Style Icon: Hunter S. Thompson.
This week’s subject definitely made more of a marked imprint in the literary sphere than on the style pages. Nevertheless, Hunter Stockton Thompson’s panache solidifies his merit as an icon whose style was all his own, influential and fascinating in it’s simplicity. Hunter’s unforgettable dedication to bucket hats and yellow-tinted aviator shades added to his […]
Style Icons: Mariah Carey.
She had the crop top/midriff combo to die for. And then some. Coupled with her incredible pipes, Mariah Carey’s style choices [circa ‘87-’04] step into our spotlight for this week’s Style Icons edition… Call it undue nostalgia (actually, don’t), but whilst she’s probably still a vision of near-perfection for yummy mummies worldwide since her post-baby […]
Style Icons: Kool Keith.
We look to Bronx-hailing, rap legend and UltraMagnetic MC’s founding member, Kool Keith aka Dr. Octagon, for our dose of eye-catching style iconicity this week. Like many of his raps, Kool Keith’s fashion choices were bizarre and outlandish in his heyday. Self-coined the Black Elvis, if there was anything you were bound to miss, it […]
