interview: M.I.S.S. TV x VA$HTIE x FOLLOW THE LEADER (EPISODE 2)

vashtie — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:10:20 +0000

the folks over at M.I.S.S. have always been so sweet to me and when they asked me to be a part of this new series they have about one’s own personal style – i was more than down. i really dress like a homeless person, but who am i to judge if they think it’s “style”

“Follow the Leader, Episode 2: Va$htie Kola
In the second episode of our new three-part webseries, Follow the Leader, M.I.S.S. introduces you to Va$htie.

Fondly dubbed “Downtown’s Sweetheart” by various NYC trendsetters, Va$htie Kola’s instantly recognizable aesthetic proves that style is far beyond fashion. The director and designer is unmatched in her ability to reconstruct memorable moments from our cultural pasts (she cites inspirations as diverse at Depeche Mode and Big Daddy Kane), and merge them with the best of what’s current. Her wardrobe incorporates a steady diet of all things grunge (thrifted flannels and aged cut-offs) with higher-end centerpieces. The result is a unique personal style that speaks volumes about the type of person Va$htie is– geuninely excited and inspired by individuality in all its forms.

In the below episode of Follow the Leader, Va$htie reveals the sentiment and inspiration behind three of her favorite looks.”

interview: SMOKING SECTION x “WHAT’S ON YOUR IPOD” x VA$HTIE

vashtie — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:04:59 +0000

when JOHN GOTTY at the SMOKING SECTION asked little ol’ me to compile a list of favorite tracks that i have on my ipod, i didn’t hesitate. little did i know i would spend the next couple days stressed over how to narrow my favorites down to 10…so i went with 15 (even that was difficult!). i mean – how does a parent choose their favorite child (if none of their names are VASHTIE)…it’s impossible!

special thanks to these folks for allowing me to bore you with my ever eclectic musical loves.

vashtie — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 04:10:12 +0000

over the summer i had the most amazing opportunity of interviewing PUFF aka DIDDY for SUPREME’S MAGAZINE (book volume 5). now that it’s (been) out, i can share.

when i asked PUFF if he would be into doing it, he was down for the cause. he might be larger than life, but dude is super cool and down to earth. he just gets the whole “downtown”/”underground” world, when most people in general don’t.

super thanks to PUFF, ANGELO BAQUE, JAMES JEBBIA, TERRY RICHARDSON and BEA ARTHUR.

interview: VANDAL ARTS x VA$HTIE x EARSNOT

vashtie — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:15:33 +0000

thanks for the reminder about this one guys…

in 2007, EARSNOT and i attended the SNEAKER PIMPS in NYC where he was doing a live painting. VANDAL ARTS approached us and asked me to interview him for the show. recently, they interviewed me and put the whole sha-bang together. it’s a 3 part episode and for the recent interview i was sleepy and kept my sunglasses on. i realize it looks wack, but those studio lights were burning holes in my retinas.
