Black icons ✊

Stylish, beautiful, accomplished, Vashtie is someone I have admired for years. She’s been named dropped in songs of artists such as Drake and Chance the Rapper, but some may not know who she is. Vashtie is the ultimate “cool girl”.

What doesn’t she do? She’s a DJ, director, creative consultant and artist. She grew popularity on the New York scene as a DJ in the early 2000′s and she even modeled for Pharrell’s Billionaire Boys Club clothing line. She also has directed videos for artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Solange. In 2008, she launched her clothing line VIOLETTE  and has not stopped going since. 

In 2010, Vashtie was the first female designer to have a shoe released for the Jordan brand. How cool is that? Her style is one to be admired. Growing up immersed in hip hop and skate culture, I’d describe her as tomboy chic, and she has modeled for brands such as Supreme, Puma, and DKNY just to name a few.

I admire Vashtie because she’s successfully been able to build a good reputation, while being friends with very well known celebs and staying true to her craft. She embodies the fact that there are ways to gain success without selling sex or always being in front of the camera.
