Vanessa
One of my favorite pass times, is studying up and coming fashion creatives. There are so many stylists, Black Stylists in particular who are exhibiting brilliant work who don’t get enough exposure and that is something I cannot accept. I often find myself scrolling through portfolios, websites, and social media’s hours upon end. Today I was blessed with the opportunity to learn about the oh so talented Vanessa. Vanessa is truly a breath of fresh air. She is different, authentic, and fearless. While stumbling across Vanessa’s work, I was overwhelmed with inspiration, joy and appreciation. Vanessa, you may consider yourself an “up and coming stylist”, but you style as if you’ve already arrived. I thank you for relentlessly and boldly pursuing your gift. I am inspired by many, but moved by very few. Give Vanessa a few years and she will be styling your favorites celebs for red carpet events. I am hopeful, encouraged, and empowered all thanks to you Vanessa. It is an honor to be able to even cover a creative genius like herself. I hope that by reading this feature, people take notice of Vanessa, book Vanessa, and get inspired by Vanessa. There is room for all of us in this industry, you just have to find your spot and it’s safe to say she has found hers and will move on to help others find theirs. If you want more of Vanessa which I’m sure you will, make sure to keep on scrolling!
