HEART OF THE CITY

The music and style of New York’s 90s and early 00s hip hop era has always grounded my love for the city

the grit, effortlessness, & richness of New York & New Yorkers is what I have always held close to me as continue to navigate my own New York experience.

This one’s inspired by the hip-hop and rnb artists who have so deeply impacted our culture through every song & style choice.

Biggie with his Avirex jacket & Timbs, HOV in a raw denim two-piece, Aaliyah whio mastered both simplicity and boldness—the list goes on.

Shoutout to the everyday tastemakes—New Yorkers—who keep it real & fly forever.

They are the blueprint, Black & Brown communities are the blueprint.

This personal project is an ode to an essence that is confidence & truth

New York.

Biggest love to Mia Theresa on photo

and NY Queen Bec for making this project come to life
