Erykah Badu definitely has her own style. Riccardo Tisci told Style.com from Paris that he chose Erykah Badu as the face of his campaign.
Riccardo's Statement:
“Erykah, she’s an icon—come on! What I want to do with my advertising campaign is spread the love. Already now it’s been three seasons that I’ve been using people that express something—they are great artists, or beautiful women, or stylish women, or models that I really believe in. It’s kind of a family portfolio.”
“She’s one of the most stylish women I’ve met in my life. She’s got such a good sense of proportion, of colors.”
Why he thinks the fashion world has taken a recent interest in black women:
“There was a lot of talk this season in fashion. Me, I was one of the persons who ended up not being touched by this. I discovered Joan Smalls, I discovered Maria [Borges]. I discovered a lot of black girls, and I’ve been always supporting them. For me, I grew up in a family and I grew up in a culture, an education, that we all are the same.”
.....
"At the end of the day, why are not so many black girls or Latin girls in shows? When you have an American president who is black! When I see this happening, it’s quite sad, I think. People can be so avant-garde, so advanced, but actually not, because people are still making differences between skin color.”
This is hot and I can't wait to see what unfolds with this. Ms. Badu is looking good!!
