Run This Town Fashion

I saw the new Jay-Z video ft. Rihanna and Kanye, Run This Town and I'm officially obsessed. Kudos and felicitations to the stylist for the video...KILLED IT. The style of the video reminds me of Che Guevara meets urban street. The video was completely blacked out from hoodies, to sunglasses, bandannas, hats... you name it! I can't stop thinking about the Che inspired beret with netting. At first the beret seemed like such an unlikely accessory for the style of the video, but it stands out that much more. It has inspired in Becky and me a few DIY projects to incorporate tulle veils with urban street wear (all to be revealed soon)!

Every look was so well styled and executed to the nth detail! Rihanna's look with the sequin top and bullet trim knocked me to the ground and then kicked me a few times when I tried to get up! HOLY COW! Immediately after seeing the video I was at my computer and phone trying to figure out a way to get my hands on anything that would resemble the same ammunition. Within five minutes I was directed to a store in Soho called Weapon Specialist (thanks victor). They specialize in faux weaponry for the film and theater industry...and soon to sell to the fashion/DIY industry!



Jay-Z's Martin Margiela shoes for the video. I'm lusting and filled with envy!

I'm dying!!!!!

Che has never looked so good!
