COMMISSION 7: LOVE SONG

This collection ( LOVE S.O.N.G.) was inspired by the rich & subversive dynamics of music’s contributions to fashion and vice versa - from Miles Davis’ effortlessly cool style and mannerisms holding his signature trumpet wearing an exquisitely tailored grey pinstripe double breasted suit to Timberland’s indelible impact on hip hop history where even a west coast crown bearer Tupac Shakur adorned himself in brown suede 6inch premium work wear boots. The pieces are also inspired by Michael Jackson’s global and seemingly intergalactic cultural domination and how a simple sequence of sequins added to the majestic essence of an untouchable music legacy. These simple nuances have inspired me and countless others for a thousand lifetimes - but have rarely been amplified as to highlight how the fabric of music history is structured by these and other iconic fashion moments.
