Lol the story-telling of John. And you forgot his faux locs. Everytime I look at this collection, I think about how we have come a long way…
It’s great that he embraced her but it was also an interesting era for HipHop Black American artists. Every brand had their R&B singer or Rapper but I have always wonder why those artists never nurtured those relationships, that were based at first in mutual admiration. Nicolas embraced Kelis, Karl embraced Monica and later Eve, for John it was Foxy, Kim had Donatella but later she actually nurtured a relationship with Marc Jacobs.
When I think about the It Girls era, at some point, we invited actresses who never appeared on films. They were clever in nurturing relationships with designers. When I think about the names I mentioned, at some point they were less present. They could have been part of « friends of the house » but never played the fashion game.
Because the perception of those artists is/was literally different in Europe than it is/was in US.
