Vashtie Describes Perfect Summer Outfit and Plans for New Violette Collection
0
0 9
Vashtie really needs no introduction. The downtown culture curator has several slashes in her bag of boss titles–director, designer and DJ, just to name a few–but most importantly, the down-to-Mars, hardworking woman knows how to enjoy the perfect summer Friday.
In collaboration with Green Label Sound and brand agency Team Epiphany, the 32-year-old creative hosted TE’s #SummerFridays at NYC’s Open House Gallery last week, alongside 90s-loving bestie Oscar Sanchez.
Sure, a breezy afternoon (all play, some work) with a star-studded crowd is luxury best served cool, but the bonus? Va$htie gave us the rundown of her summer Friday faves and why she doesn’t mind going Green Label. – Niki McGloster

VIBE Vixen: What brings you out to #SummerFridays?
Va$htie: Everything Team Epiphany has done thus far has always been really creative and cool in a really organic way, where it unites all different worlds. Just knowing their history with bringing brands together in an organic way kind of brought me out. I DJ so I came out on a professional level, but I also came out to support because Green Label Sound, in particular, has been bridging music and culture in a unique way.
So you want to do more with Green Label.
Absolutely. As far as a brand that’s interested in tapping into youth and music culture, I love it. I feel like a lot of brands just try to come in a throw their logo on something, [but] I’ve been seeing the growth of Green Label. I love their vibe and I love that they’re listening to the artist, as opposed to telling the artist what to do.
As an artist–a DJ–yourself, how are things progressing?
I feel like it was one of the creative outlets that I never really pursued until doing my parties with Q-Tip. He would urge me to do it. It’s cool because I feel like I’m a budding DJ. I use the word lightly because there are DJs that’ve carried records through clubs and know the actual craft of deejaying. This is a new way of the form, the digital age, and I like to use the word selector.

Just A Few Days Left: Blues for Smoke @ the Whitney
Beauford Delaney Portrait of a Young Musician; Acrylic on canvas.
The exhibition’s title is drawn from a 1960 solo album by virtuoso jazz pianist Jaki Byard in which improvisation on blues form becomes a basis for avant-garde exploration. The title suggests that the expanded poetics of the blues is pervasive—but also diffuse and difficult to pin down. By presenting an uncommon heterogeneity of subject matter, art historical contexts, formal and conceptual inclinations, genres and disciplines, Blues for Smoke holds artists and art worlds together that are often kept apart, within and across lines of race, generation, and canon.
A series of performances, events, screenings, and readings will accompany the exhibition.
Blues for Smoke is organized by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The exhibition is curated by Bennett Simpson. At the Whitney Museum, the installation is overseen by Chrissie Iles, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Curator.

‘Mahogany’ Remake: Who Should Replace Diana Ross?
Diana Ross in ‘Mahogany’ (1975)
A remake of the 1975 cult classic Mahogany is reportedly in the works, according to BET.
The iconic movie starred legendary diva Diana Ross as Tracy, a Chicago native who dreams of becoming a fashion designer.
Tracy eventually realizes her dreams and relocates to Rome, where she struggles to balance her relationship with a hometown boyfriend Brian (played by Billy Dee Williams) and her skyrocketing career.
Suzanne de Passe, a longtime Motown executive and producer, will be resurrecting the film which was originally directed by Berry Gordy.
Who do you think would best fill Ross’s designer shoes?
See our slideshow of candidates and tell us who you think should take on the role in this iconic movie.

50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair
From NBC Chicago:
During the 1950s and 1960s, the Ebony Fashion Fair exposed black American audiences to some of the most cutting edge couture fashions in the world.
But the reason the shows were able to attract such quality was because of Eunice W. Johnson, the wife of John Johnson, who was the head of Johnson Publishing Company.
Mrs. Johnson regularly traveled to Europe and purchased couture from the top fashion houses in Europe.
“On the runways, what you saw was her vision of what was fashionable and what was stylish,” curator Joy Bivins said. “In the late 1950s, when these black people showed up in Europe to purchase these garments, it wasn’t always an easy thing to get their foot in the door. They didn’t have the history, they didn’t know who we were, what Ebony was.”
They amassed thousands of ensembles, some of which will be on display at the Chicago History Museum’s newest exhibition “Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair.”
