“I’m a designer and designer in Ghana,” Frederick Yawagyei told Fashion From line. “This (the costume) is the European style of Africans, you can see my suit, then the mudstone cloth from Mali. I’m trying to juxtapose two different materials with the European style two different materials, textures and patterns. Then my prada sandals.”
For many, retro and frugality are the name of the game and add a storytelling dimension to their appearance. “My clothes are Poshmark Jres wilbur pack share. The hat is from France and the bow tie is a gift to my aunt on my 57th birthday. I wear a tie because my dad showed me the bow tie I used to be when I was a kid. He died of cancer at the age of 24, which is a respect for him. ”
“My clothes are all thrifty and New York street shops,” added Michael Morris Mason. “I got this jacket from a street shop and a friend of mine, who was an artist who actually (created) the back. My husband bought me a bag, which was an original work by a coach, and I got boots from a store in Vegas when I was traveling. My hat came from a street vendor on the street at the Brooklyn Festival.”
Others have done research, drawing inspiration from history books and Monday’s red carpet, such as Zach Lindsey Pinstrip Trends. “(The appearance} is a mixture of high and low points, so the top of our helmet lang is the hat, the telfar of the hat, some gu on the shirt, from the bottom, then the levi of Zara, the shoes of Zara are all over the whole.”
“I did some research on the Met Gala, the ‘super beautiful’ exhibition of the opening and the dandyism era, and I was a fashionista all my life,” Renee Harrison said. “I wanted to look like a playboy or an explanation for it. I was wearing a two-piece white suit, a pinstripe top, a green men’s tie and matching black and white shoes.”
