Vashtie Kola.
As her website (http://www.vashtie.com/ ) states, this girl is one talented individual:
"Visionary Director, Party Producer, Style Maven, Lady of Leisure, Jordan 3 Villian, Tomboy Extraordinaire, Luxury Handbag Queen, Vintage Don, Fashion Addict and Art Nerd. "
I first took notice of Kola through her music video directing of some of my favourite songs from such artists as Kid Cudi ('Heaven At Night'), Solange Knowles ('T.O.N.Y') and her own take of what the video should look like for Child Rebel Soldiers (CRS)'s 'Us Placers'.
In 2006, she started a monthly-turned-weekly 90's music night titled "1992" at (nightclub) Santos in New York, spinning music (only) from the early 90's, attracting celebrities and old-skool music fans.
When the time comes for me to finally visit New York, this is one club I want to be grooving along at on a Friday night. When you're in that mood, nothing beats 90s RnB. :)
Following her love of both creative art and music, Kola also seemed to always hold a special place in her heart for fashion, where she has of recent, established her own fashion line, VIOLETTE. The clothing line caters to both males and females, drawing inspiration from eclectic scenes, people and their environments: 'uptown and downtown, hip-hop and rock, feminine and masculine, casual and couture'.
VIOLETTE is not yet stocked in Australia but I hope the line hits our shores soon :)
Be sure to follow Va$htie through her blog for more pop culture goodness and to see what other hidden talents this girl has up her sleeve :)
Peace yo.
