Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody. You know, if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
what's up? Is Laura l Rosa and this is the
Latest with Laura l Rosa. This is your daily dig
on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of
the conversations that shake the room. Now we this episode
(00:23):
is a it's a bit different. It is fashion Week.
So in the last episode I was able to take
you guys outside, and you know, the Latest is always
what's happening. We're in now, We're on the go sometimes
when we're not in the Latest with Laura l Rosa
the podcast studio, because I like to keep you guys
up beating on the street with me as I'm maneuver
throughout so many different aspects of pop culture. So we
(00:47):
were at Delaware State University where I was honored to
speak as the keynote speaker during the convocation ceremony at
my HBCU, my alma mater, and directly after we left there,
we headed back to New York City to get into
some fashion Week things. Now, I was honored to be
an invited guest in an attendee of Harlem Fashion Roles
(01:09):
eighteenth annual Fashion Show and Style Awards. Now, Harlem Fashion
Row is an organization that has been around for some time.
They were founded in two thousand and seven and they
know when they were created and even now like the
platform has grown so much, they were created to become
and have become the premier platform dedicated to discovering, showcasing
(01:30):
and supporting designers of color. Now they have a proven
track record of driving culture shift and collaboration with brands
like Nike, Gap, nor Strom, Tommy Hill Figure. But most importantly,
what I know them for and what I love about
them and what I've always on them for for some
time is that Harlem's Fashion Row creates community in space.
(01:50):
So yes, they're able to bridge the gap with these
brands and these sponsors, and they helped so many black
designers who are emerging out of HBCUs, which is a
conversation of its own, because there are a lot of
fashion professionals who are overlooked because they come from non
traditional fashion schools which are hbcused. But Harlem's Fashion Role
is doing things like going into HBCUs and providing designers
(02:12):
and students with funding, making sure they get platform, making
sure they get internships that put them in the fashion
spaces and rooms and conversations they need to be in
to have everything they need to be able to go
out and dominate the world. But also they just create space.
One of my biggest things about New York and the
fashion world here, in the coature world here of fashion
(02:33):
was the fact that you either got a hard yes
or you got a hard no. I wanted to, you know,
model work in couture fashion, and what I began to
learn is that it really was a club of who's chosen,
who selected, and once you're not, you're not. And for
the most part, that was not models of color, that
was not designers of color, that was not creatives of color.
When I found out about Harlem's Fashion Row, I was
(02:54):
actually in LA and there was an event that they
were having, and there were so many black faces and
high Hollywood that were being advertised that we're supposed to
be at this event. And I was still trying to
find culture and community there. When I moved there, I
used to be like, where are the people? Where are
we at? So I came across this event. I didn't
really know much about the brand, and I went and
I remember and she will not remember this, but I
(03:15):
remember meeting Brandis, who is the owner and creator of
Harlem's Fashion role at this event. Now full circle moment
for me, right, because now I'm here, I'm in New York,
We're doing the fashion week things, and like I said,
I like to take you guys into the latest, into
what's happening. So as we go into the night at
Harlem's Fashion Row, what I'm beginning to learn is that
not only has the brand grown in all this time, right,
(03:38):
but I'm also seeing that the people who were supporting
the brand from the beginning are still there supporting it.
A lot of the celebrities, a lot of you know,
the editorial outlets, the designers, which is amazing to see.
I think one of the hardest things in building is
to retain, is to retain support both financially but also
just community wise. And I keep using that word community
because it is very import and when you're figuring something
(04:01):
out to have those people to be able to fellowship with,
to poor resources from, or be that for somebody else.
So in this event, you know, the ceremony was set up,
we sat down, we had dinner. I ran into Cary Holston,
who I met when we did BET Talks, which was
I do sometimes I do these sit downs with BT.
I met Carroy Hoilson during BET Talks and also she
(04:22):
came on the Breakfast Club. So carry Holston was there.
You also had Slick Rick in attendance. You had Dapperdan,
who is a New York fashion legend period. I also
ran into Melissa Butler from the Lip Bar. Sherry Shepherd
was there as well. Tons of celebrities in the room.
Now opening up the night, Brandis got on the mic
(04:43):
and kind of explained a bit about, you know, why
the evening was important, why the event in the community
that she has built through the organization was important, and
when they started in two thousand and seven with their
mission being to you know, bridge those gaps and like
I talked about, become the community for people here in
New York and elsewhere who need it. One of the
things that I I've always admired about Harlem's Fashion Row
(05:05):
is the fact that they're able to once this you know,
community was built, they are able to bring people together
to then showcase others. So designers, we heard from editorial professionals,
last night who were being spotlighted. We heard more about
the college work that Harlem's fashion role is doing. We
also heard from college students are graduates who are now
interning and working and being able to get out there
(05:27):
and do the work as well. But the biggest thing
of the night for sure, Usher Usher was presented with
the Virgil Ablow war which is also amazing because Harlem's
Fashion role actually honored Virgil when he was alive. For
those of you guys who may not know any of
our listeners who may not know, Virgil Ablow, huge streetwear designer,
(05:49):
you know, and he is known as one of the
people who defied the odds when it came to being
a black designer incature fashion, but extremely and especially in streetwear.
He went from you know, designing streetwear to becoming creative
director of Beuievaton and you know, just breaking a lot
of first but also just being a face in fashion
(06:09):
and a force and fashion that people could look to.
So with Usher receiving this award, it definitely gives a
nod to what Usher has become, you know, in his
industry and has been in this industry, and just giving
him his flowers and making it feel good. Let's listen
to Usher.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So y'all started to right in ushu are yam o.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And d and so maybe tell maybe what she wanted
to do.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I talked about that today's she's seventeen year old, right
who just needed to believe that.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I found another common connection between me and Virgil Faiful
found versus me and left. He said, the world produces waves,
surf drown.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You decide everything that you do. It's for a seventeen
year old version self. That seventeen year old version of
myself is the same thing that encourages me to this
day to make me fearless.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And I would not be here without him.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
So I thank you, young the Usher at seventeen years
old for being bold as you were. You know we're
taking to be humble, but I say, we need to
give ourselves my praise.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
We need to make certain let be known that it's
okay to be proud of what you do.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's not cocky, it's not conceited. It's confidence, and that's
the way that it should be.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You should encourage yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Don't wait for the applause.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
If you she said, live for the applause, you die
by the boots literally.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I thank you guys so much, and I hope that
next year the recipient doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Take as long as I thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And I'm gonna tell y'all something too. I think, you
know the more that I'm you know, in and out
of these events and I'm seeing people, you know, receive
these awards, and you know, just seeing people take time
for others who deserve it because they're working so hard
to make sure we can be able to do. So
what I'm beginning to understand a bit more is you
ever heard celebrities be like I don't need my flowers,
(08:21):
Like I know what I've done here. I look at
a person like Usher who has been synonymous across because
I don't think people understand it. He's been synonymous across fashion,
across the skate world, across music, across hip hop, even
though he's an R and B artist, but just across
culture in general, and also has giving us some of
the best music and artists that we know. Justin Bieber
(08:42):
comes from under the wing of Usher. So as I'm
watching Usher maneuver the event last night and receive the
award and you know, do so so humbly and speak
of his beginnings and where he comes from. I'm sitting there, like,
you know, I really, really, really truly believe that the
people that come from the era that like an Usher
comes from, they're not really for all the accolades and
you know, for things to be loud, I mean, and
(09:04):
they're gonna come up here, They're gonna you know what
I mean, receive their awards and all those things as
they come. There's just something different about the era of
celebrity when it comes to generations that are not mine.
And I was watching that last night, even seeing slick Rick,
you know, in the audience, and as you know, the
audience is breaking for people to maneuver from the downstairs
award reception to the upstairs like an after cocktail reception.
(09:27):
He couldn't even walk through the crowd without people stopping him,
like at all. But these are people that are that
you're not You're not hearing them screen what they need,
what they should be getting, what they should be awarded
every day. They're just really doing the work, doing what
they love and doing it at a like a high level.
At that when you think of a slick Rick and
his his his ability and his impact, when you think
(09:48):
and again across music and fashion. When you think of
an Usher, when you think of a Ruthie Carter, all
of these people just set out to do something really
really well and did it well enough where other or
are able to come behind them and be able to
do it, but also do it in a way that influences.
Like Usher has influenced style, slick Rick has influenced generations
(10:09):
of style. We then got to hear from Ruthie Carter.
And Ruthie Carter if you guys do not know, she's
a costume designer. A costume designer for those who don't
understand what that term it is, because I know I
have to be in a lot of fashion today. A
costume designer somebody who dresses people enrolled, so whether it's movies, television,
anything on camera per se. So it's basically a stylist
(10:33):
for television and film. But they tell stories through it.
So a lot of times things are set in certain
time periods, they are set in certain locations or you
know geographically. You know, clothing is telling a story. So
to be a costume designer is a very very it's
a very very detailed oriented job and you really have
to understand how to tell story without even opening up
(10:55):
your mouth because you don't see or hear from the stylists.
And Ruthie Carter also comes from that era. And I
was watching and listening to her receive her award, and
my thought was the way that the stylists and a
lot of the behind the scenes creatives are set up
today in our time because of social media. And don't
get me wrong, it's nothing wrong with it, because I
understand how social media's a vehicle and drops people's business
(11:18):
and businesses some people put their bills. But she comes
from an era of stylists. And I looked around. I
see Dapperdin and you know all these og stylists and
the family of an Lowe who was you know, one
of the designers who like addressed Jackie Kennedy for her
wedding to John F. Kennedy. So Ruthy Carter is receiving
(11:41):
the and Low Maverick Award. Hello everyone.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I wanted to thank Grandastaniel and Problems Fashion.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Roll for this tree.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Then dissolment to be the very first recipient of the
m low Magwar. Wow, it's true. He gets some chills
just to say so tonight, I accept this war in
the name of Ana and in honor of every designer,
of tailor and creatives who stitched beauty into the world
(12:14):
even when the doors were closed.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And I'm looking at all of the generations of fashion
and design and culture and influence in the room, and
I'm like, you know, the craziest thing is that we
went from an era of people just being not happy
to be anywhere, because that's not the right term. These
people were. These people were so vigilant they weren't happy
to be anywhere. They were busting down doors that were
(12:39):
being shut in their face and coming in with their
own tables, making things from scratch with their bare hands,
creating ideas without phones, without TikTok, without anything. The level
and the depth of talent and the generations prior to us, Like,
I don't think that we really understand, you know, what
(13:01):
that takes to be able to conceptualize an idea without
being able to pick up your phone and put it together,
put together a move board on goo Ai. It's just
very different. And I'm not knocking, you know, the artist
and the creators of this generation, because I consider myself
one of them. But last night was a good reminder
that before anything before you're posting to Instagram, before you're
cracking a mic, before you are putting something on the runway,
(13:23):
before you are getting on skates, before you're getting on
the stage, and just anything that you do before you
do it, to really understand your purpose behind it, your
intention behind it, and to really hone your talent. I
went to go see Usher in Vegas. It was one
of the best shows I've ever seen in my life.
If you've watched Wakanda, you understand Ruth ey Carter being
(13:45):
magngnificent and being one of the greats. If you know
anything about anlo Maverick and you know everything she went
through just to be able to work and do what
she loved, and her timeless pieces that she crafted by hand,
you understand workmanship, work ethic Before all of the highlight reels,
and you know, all the celebrations and all of the
(14:07):
cheers and all of the you know, like us people scream.
You know, I want to get my flowers while I
can smell them. Whether you're getting your flowers while you
can smell them or not, I want to make sure
I'm getting my flowers for something that I've done that
has substance in life and legacy, because that's real impact.
Like Usher is real, He's not just a music artist.
He is real impact. Ruth Ee Carter is real impact.
(14:30):
Slick Rick wasn't even honor last night, but you just
felt regal being in the room with him, Dapperdon. You
felt regal being in his presence, and that's what I'm
meaning for. So this was a great way to kick
off my first night of New York Fashion Week. And
you know, I'm here for all things black and all
things us anyway, But yes, that was amazing kickoff to it.
(14:50):
And we also got to watch you know, they had
several designers that they showcase last night as well. Oh
and I partner with foot Locker. Yes, I partner with
foot Locker. How would I forget that? That was pretty cool.
I partnered with foot Locker. We had to go to
foot Locker. You are to choose sneakers. You had to
wear one of the sneakers to the event. I wore
a two piece set by a black designer. Her name
is Megan Renee. Shout out to her as well. But
(15:11):
they were kind of like my even know, I wasn't
with anyone from foot Locker, but my sneakers were kind
of like my date of the evening, so that was
pretty cool as well. To you guys can go and
check out you know, all the social media footage. We
did a lot of behind the scene footage leading up
to the fashion show, and I did a full recap
of the fashion show visually over on my YouTube as well,
(15:34):
which doesn't include any of the stuff that you guys
just heard here for the most part, So this is
an audio exclusive. But if you want to go and
check out you know, my outfit and just some of
the fun, you can head on over to my socials
Lauren the Roads at l O r A N l
o r o s A to do so as well.
At the end of the day, there is always a
lot to talk about, a lot to do, and you
guys could be anywhere with anybody, but you choose to
(15:56):
be right here with me every episode, and I appreciate
you for I will see you guys in my next episode.
Now it is still fashion week, so i'ma I'm gonna
take y'all outside a little bit more a few more
times this week, but we'll get our traditional episodes in
this week as well too. But let me know how
you're feeling here, you know. Are you guys in New
York for fashion Week? Where are you attending? Where are
you going to? All right, y'all, I'm gonna take y'all
(16:18):
outside in the streets. We leaving The tweets were heading
outside in the streets. It's the latest with Lauren de Rosa.
It's New York Fashion Week.
I'm a homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody. You know, if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
what's up? Is Laura l Rosa and this is the
Latest with Laura l Rosa. This is your daily dig
on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of
the conversations that shake the room. Now we this episode
(00:23):
is a it's a bit different. It is fashion Week.
So in the last episode I was able to take
you guys outside, and you know, the Latest is always
what's happening. We're in now, We're on the go sometimes
when we're not in the Latest with Laura l Rosa
the podcast studio, because I like to keep you guys
up beating on the street with me as I'm maneuver
throughout so many different aspects of pop culture. So we
(00:47):
were at Delaware State University where I was honored to
speak as the keynote speaker during the convocation ceremony at
my HBCU, my alma mater, and directly after we left there,
we headed back to New York City to get into
some fashion Week things. Now, I was honored to be
an invited guest in an attendee of Harlem Fashion Roles
(01:09):
eighteenth annual Fashion Show and Style Awards. Now, Harlem Fashion
Row is an organization that has been around for some time.
They were founded in two thousand and seven and they
know when they were created and even now like the
platform has grown so much, they were created to become
and have become the premier platform dedicated to discovering, showcasing
(01:30):
and supporting designers of color. Now they have a proven
track record of driving culture shift and collaboration with brands
like Nike, Gap, nor Strom, Tommy Hill Figure. But most importantly,
what I know them for and what I love about
them and what I've always on them for for some
time is that Harlem's Fashion Row creates community in space.
(01:50):
So yes, they're able to bridge the gap with these
brands and these sponsors, and they helped so many black
designers who are emerging out of HBCUs, which is a
conversation of its own, because there are a lot of
fashion professionals who are overlooked because they come from non
traditional fashion schools which are hbcused. But Harlem's Fashion Role
is doing things like going into HBCUs and providing designers
(02:12):
and students with funding, making sure they get platform, making
sure they get internships that put them in the fashion
spaces and rooms and conversations they need to be in
to have everything they need to be able to go
out and dominate the world. But also they just create space.
One of my biggest things about New York and the
fashion world here, in the coature world here of fashion
(02:33):
was the fact that you either got a hard yes
or you got a hard no. I wanted to, you know,
model work in couture fashion, and what I began to
learn is that it really was a club of who's chosen,
who selected, and once you're not, you're not. And for
the most part, that was not models of color, that
was not designers of color, that was not creatives of color.
When I found out about Harlem's Fashion Row, I was
(02:54):
actually in LA and there was an event that they
were having, and there were so many black faces and
high Hollywood that were being advertised that we're supposed to
be at this event. And I was still trying to
find culture and community there. When I moved there, I
used to be like, where are the people? Where are
we at? So I came across this event. I didn't
really know much about the brand, and I went and
I remember and she will not remember this, but I
(03:15):
remember meeting Brandis, who is the owner and creator of
Harlem's Fashion role at this event. Now full circle moment
for me, right, because now I'm here, I'm in New York,
We're doing the fashion week things, and like I said,
I like to take you guys into the latest, into
what's happening. So as we go into the night at
Harlem's Fashion Row, what I'm beginning to learn is that
not only has the brand grown in all this time, right,
(03:38):
but I'm also seeing that the people who were supporting
the brand from the beginning are still there supporting it.
A lot of the celebrities, a lot of you know,
the editorial outlets, the designers, which is amazing to see.
I think one of the hardest things in building is
to retain, is to retain support both financially but also
just community wise. And I keep using that word community
because it is very import and when you're figuring something
(04:01):
out to have those people to be able to fellowship with,
to poor resources from, or be that for somebody else.
So in this event, you know, the ceremony was set up,
we sat down, we had dinner. I ran into Cary Holston,
who I met when we did BET Talks, which was
I do sometimes I do these sit downs with BT.
I met Carroy Hoilson during BET Talks and also she
(04:22):
came on the Breakfast Club. So carry Holston was there.
You also had Slick Rick in attendance. You had Dapperdan,
who is a New York fashion legend period. I also
ran into Melissa Butler from the Lip Bar. Sherry Shepherd
was there as well. Tons of celebrities in the room.
Now opening up the night, Brandis got on the mic
(04:43):
and kind of explained a bit about, you know, why
the evening was important, why the event in the community
that she has built through the organization was important, and
when they started in two thousand and seven with their
mission being to you know, bridge those gaps and like
I talked about, become the community for people here in
New York and elsewhere who need it. One of the
things that I I've always admired about Harlem's Fashion Row
(05:05):
is the fact that they're able to once this you know,
community was built, they are able to bring people together
to then showcase others. So designers, we heard from editorial professionals,
last night who were being spotlighted. We heard more about
the college work that Harlem's fashion role is doing. We
also heard from college students are graduates who are now
interning and working and being able to get out there
(05:27):
and do the work as well. But the biggest thing
of the night for sure, Usher Usher was presented with
the Virgil Ablow war which is also amazing because Harlem's
Fashion role actually honored Virgil when he was alive. For
those of you guys who may not know any of
our listeners who may not know, Virgil Ablow, huge streetwear designer,
(05:49):
you know, and he is known as one of the
people who defied the odds when it came to being
a black designer incature fashion, but extremely and especially in streetwear.
He went from you know, designing streetwear to becoming creative
director of Beuievaton and you know, just breaking a lot
of first but also just being a face in fashion
(06:09):
and a force and fashion that people could look to.
So with Usher receiving this award, it definitely gives a
nod to what Usher has become, you know, in his
industry and has been in this industry, and just giving
him his flowers and making it feel good. Let's listen
to Usher.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So y'all started to right in ushu are yam o.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And d and so maybe tell maybe what she wanted
to do.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I talked about that today's she's seventeen year old, right
who just needed to believe that.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I found another common connection between me and Virgil Faiful
found versus me and left. He said, the world produces waves,
surf drown.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You decide everything that you do. It's for a seventeen
year old version self. That seventeen year old version of
myself is the same thing that encourages me to this
day to make me fearless.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And I would not be here without him.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
So I thank you, young the Usher at seventeen years
old for being bold as you were. You know we're
taking to be humble, but I say, we need to
give ourselves my praise.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
We need to make certain let be known that it's
okay to be proud of what you do.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's not cocky, it's not conceited. It's confidence, and that's
the way that it should be.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You should encourage yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Don't wait for the applause.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
If you she said, live for the applause, you die
by the boots literally.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I thank you guys so much, and I hope that
next year the recipient doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Take as long as I thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And I'm gonna tell y'all something too. I think, you
know the more that I'm you know, in and out
of these events and I'm seeing people, you know, receive
these awards, and you know, just seeing people take time
for others who deserve it because they're working so hard
to make sure we can be able to do. So
what I'm beginning to understand a bit more is you
ever heard celebrities be like I don't need my flowers,
(08:21):
Like I know what I've done here. I look at
a person like Usher who has been synonymous across because
I don't think people understand it. He's been synonymous across fashion,
across the skate world, across music, across hip hop, even
though he's an R and B artist, but just across
culture in general, and also has giving us some of
the best music and artists that we know. Justin Bieber
(08:42):
comes from under the wing of Usher. So as I'm
watching Usher maneuver the event last night and receive the
award and you know, do so so humbly and speak
of his beginnings and where he comes from. I'm sitting there, like,
you know, I really, really, really truly believe that the
people that come from the era that like an Usher
comes from, they're not really for all the accolades and
you know, for things to be loud, I mean, and
(09:04):
they're gonna come up here, They're gonna you know what
I mean, receive their awards and all those things as
they come. There's just something different about the era of
celebrity when it comes to generations that are not mine.
And I was watching that last night, even seeing slick Rick,
you know, in the audience, and as you know, the
audience is breaking for people to maneuver from the downstairs
award reception to the upstairs like an after cocktail reception.
(09:27):
He couldn't even walk through the crowd without people stopping him,
like at all. But these are people that are that
you're not You're not hearing them screen what they need,
what they should be getting, what they should be awarded
every day. They're just really doing the work, doing what
they love and doing it at a like a high level.
At that when you think of a slick Rick and
his his his ability and his impact, when you think
(09:48):
and again across music and fashion. When you think of
an Usher, when you think of a Ruthie Carter, all
of these people just set out to do something really
really well and did it well enough where other or
are able to come behind them and be able to
do it, but also do it in a way that influences.
Like Usher has influenced style, slick Rick has influenced generations
(10:09):
of style. We then got to hear from Ruthie Carter.
And Ruthie Carter if you guys do not know, she's
a costume designer. A costume designer for those who don't
understand what that term it is, because I know I
have to be in a lot of fashion today. A
costume designer somebody who dresses people enrolled, so whether it's movies, television,
anything on camera per se. So it's basically a stylist
(10:33):
for television and film. But they tell stories through it.
So a lot of times things are set in certain
time periods, they are set in certain locations or you
know geographically. You know, clothing is telling a story. So
to be a costume designer is a very very it's
a very very detailed oriented job and you really have
to understand how to tell story without even opening up
(10:55):
your mouth because you don't see or hear from the stylists.
And Ruthie Carter also comes from that era. And I
was watching and listening to her receive her award, and
my thought was the way that the stylists and a
lot of the behind the scenes creatives are set up
today in our time because of social media. And don't
get me wrong, it's nothing wrong with it, because I
understand how social media's a vehicle and drops people's business
(11:18):
and businesses some people put their bills. But she comes
from an era of stylists. And I looked around. I
see Dapperdin and you know all these og stylists and
the family of an Lowe who was you know, one
of the designers who like addressed Jackie Kennedy for her
wedding to John F. Kennedy. So Ruthy Carter is receiving
(11:41):
the and Low Maverick Award. Hello everyone.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I wanted to thank Grandastaniel and Problems Fashion.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Roll for this tree.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Then dissolment to be the very first recipient of the
m low Magwar. Wow, it's true. He gets some chills
just to say so tonight, I accept this war in
the name of Ana and in honor of every designer,
of tailor and creatives who stitched beauty into the world
(12:14):
even when the doors were closed.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And I'm looking at all of the generations of fashion
and design and culture and influence in the room, and
I'm like, you know, the craziest thing is that we
went from an era of people just being not happy
to be anywhere, because that's not the right term. These
people were. These people were so vigilant they weren't happy
to be anywhere. They were busting down doors that were
(12:39):
being shut in their face and coming in with their
own tables, making things from scratch with their bare hands,
creating ideas without phones, without TikTok, without anything. The level
and the depth of talent and the generations prior to us, Like,
I don't think that we really understand, you know, what
(13:01):
that takes to be able to conceptualize an idea without
being able to pick up your phone and put it together,
put together a move board on goo Ai. It's just
very different. And I'm not knocking, you know, the artist
and the creators of this generation, because I consider myself
one of them. But last night was a good reminder
that before anything before you're posting to Instagram, before you're
cracking a mic, before you are putting something on the runway,
(13:23):
before you are getting on skates, before you're getting on
the stage, and just anything that you do before you
do it, to really understand your purpose behind it, your
intention behind it, and to really hone your talent. I
went to go see Usher in Vegas. It was one
of the best shows I've ever seen in my life.
If you've watched Wakanda, you understand Ruth ey Carter being
(13:45):
magngnificent and being one of the greats. If you know
anything about anlo Maverick and you know everything she went
through just to be able to work and do what
she loved, and her timeless pieces that she crafted by hand,
you understand workmanship, work ethic Before all of the highlight reels,
and you know, all the celebrations and all of the
(14:07):
cheers and all of the you know, like us people scream.
You know, I want to get my flowers while I
can smell them. Whether you're getting your flowers while you
can smell them or not, I want to make sure
I'm getting my flowers for something that I've done that
has substance in life and legacy, because that's real impact.
Like Usher is real, He's not just a music artist.
He is real impact. Ruth Ee Carter is real impact.
(14:30):
Slick Rick wasn't even honor last night, but you just
felt regal being in the room with him, Dapperdon. You
felt regal being in his presence, and that's what I'm
meaning for. So this was a great way to kick
off my first night of New York Fashion Week. And
you know, I'm here for all things black and all
things us anyway, But yes, that was amazing kickoff to it.
(14:50):
And we also got to watch you know, they had
several designers that they showcase last night as well. Oh
and I partner with foot Locker. Yes, I partner with
foot Locker. How would I forget that? That was pretty cool.
I partnered with foot Locker. We had to go to
foot Locker. You are to choose sneakers. You had to
wear one of the sneakers to the event. I wore
a two piece set by a black designer. Her name
is Megan Renee. Shout out to her as well. But
(15:11):
they were kind of like my even know, I wasn't
with anyone from foot Locker, but my sneakers were kind
of like my date of the evening, so that was
pretty cool as well. To you guys can go and
check out you know, all the social media footage. We
did a lot of behind the scene footage leading up
to the fashion show, and I did a full recap
of the fashion show visually over on my YouTube as well,
(15:34):
