interview: VASHTIE x KARMALOOP IKON HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
Special thanks to KARMALOOP for adding me to their list of IKONS. I’m very honored to be amongst such creative figures. Check out my Holiday List, although – none of what I actually picked is up there. Not sure if that is a glitch or if they just decided thats what I should have picked – hahaha. It’s all dude gear, so it’s quite appropriate if you ask me.

interview: REFINERY29 x HIP HOP PRINCESS VASHTIE KOLA’S DOWNTOWN STYLE
When REFINERY29 asked to do an article on me, my place and 6-8 of my favorite looks – I was floored to say the least. REFINERY29 is one of the biggest, most popular and freshest fashion sites to date and they feature super fashionable folks – I am still shocked as to why they picked me, but I am so excited.
For my “looks”, I decided to dig into the abyss of a closet for items that I actually rarely or never wear. I’m a creature of habit and like wearing the same things everyday, but my closet is actually filled with some rad items that never see the light of day.
The shoot turned out amazing. Although, I was super hectic that day as I was also prepping for my big Trinidad trip with Jonathan Mannion. Special thanks to homies KARL JUSTIN and NATALIE LEVY for organizing my outfits, I was a busy wreck that day and without them I would have worn that Wu-Tang shirt for every picture.
While (yes) I am totally confused about the title “Hip Hop Princess” – what can you do? I’m still stoked on the spread!
And a very special thanks to the folks at REFINERY29, CONNIE WANG, KAVA GORNA & PIERA GELARDI!!!

interview: NEW YORK TIMES x UP CLOSE: “ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG TASTEMAKERS” x VASHTIE KOLA
HOLY SHIZZLE!!! OH MY GOD. I’M LITERALLY SCREAMING RIGHT NOW, HENCE THE CAPS!!!
I’M IN THE NEW YORK TIMES!!!
AN ENTIRE ARTICLE ABOUT ME!!!
++++++++++
In February, talented writer and Executive Editor of PAPER MAGAZINE – ALEXIS SWERDLOFF reached out to me regarding an article she would pen entirely on me for the NEW YORK TIMES. Me, being the pessimist that I am, literally believed this was a joke (even believing it could quite possibly turn out to be a “CARRIE”-esque joke where I’m made a fool and someone dumps pigs blood on me) – I know, I’m weird…I have issues.
Anyways, I sat with Alexis twice for the interview. She was great and it felt like I was chatting with an old chum when we spoke. Later, my photo was taken by BEATRICE DE GEA who is a spectacular and super accomplished photographer (you have to check out her work). By that point it started to dawn on me that this was, in fact, real.
Although, it just truly hit me now as I’m looking at the online version of the article right now (the print version is available tomorrow – BUY IT).
