Our first style of the week is Jay Craft, a young black male with vision and style . I'm not sure how to define is style; however, something about him stands out amongst the rest. If you feel you have what it takes to be style of the week feel free to email us at sadenneoma1@gmail.com with your best photos (outfits preferred) and why you feel your fashionable & different.
1. Who inspires your style & why ? My biggest inspiration is New York City. I like cultural inspirations because its a conglomerate of what is taking place in many places & a viewpoint of what many different people classify as art. New York is a melting pot of many cultural themes & expressions. As an artist, I really try not to look to others for inspiration because I feel as if it dilutes my vision. Styles I admire are Andre 3000, Russell Brand, Steven Tyler, Pharell & warriors I.e. samurai's, sultans etc.
2. If you could wear an item or accessorie all year round what would it be? I've been fortunate enough to live in a city where I've encountered incredible artist's with distinct visions. When it comes to anything I wear, I like to find pieces that are geared to what I want to portray. This leads me to buy things in limited production, alter things, vintage shopping & w.e. I'm not the type 2 cop a pair of LV shades just to be down. I got a bracelet made to resemble a barbed wire affect by a great friend of my named Soull. Her line of jewelry is called Alkemi9. She's dope, she is who I turn to when it comes to Crafting for the Craft lol.
3. How do you describe your style? It's really hard to define a style, because I don't feel like I fit into a category in any aspect of my life, so I can't really place a label on it. If I had to describe it in 5 words I'd say dynamic, ambiguous, eclectic, intrepid, kinetic.
4. Tell us anything.. (Hobbies, interest, dreams, aspirations etc.) All of my ambitions are artistic. I'm solely focused on career progression & legacy. I've been working on Acting in theater since Jr. High. The past 3 years I've ventured into film & television with modeling on The Tyra Banks Show & partying in an episode on How to make it in America along with other progressive but humble beginnings in other productions. I'm currently seeking representation & freely working on style ventures & choreography & music production. I just wanna live & breathe art in any way for as long as I live. I definitely have the ambition & interest, I guess I'm just focusing on the access.
