Industrial Revolution // Spring Fashion Inspiration

We know it's winter but we've been daydreaming about spring and with that, Spring Fashion.

That's why we're in love with Fashionable Demand's conceptual shoot, Industrial Revolution. We love the contrast between the pinks and softness of the florals with the urban environment in the background. And yes, once again florals are a must-have this Spring season.

Fashionable Demand, if you're unfamiliar, "is a fashion collective founded in 2012 by Michael Holt, Brittany Johnson and Michelle Gill. Our core value is creating aesthetically satisfying images per wardrobe styling, creative consulting and direction through various media forms. Since our inception our talents have been showcased on three feature films, most recently in the independent comedy feature, "Civilian Life", on web-series, "Mad Black Men" and several conceptual photo shoots featured on AfroPunk. As well as numerous music videos and short films."

And while the ladies of Fashionable Demand kill visuals, they're talents "have expanded into blogging and contributing writer for national fashion publication, Kontrol Magazine."

Fashionable Demand would also like to "give a huge shout-out to all of the creatives [they] have worked with in the past. Additionally, to all of the talented women that gave their gifts to this shoot; Photographer: Darianne Edwards, Model: Adela Raicu and HMUA: Glinda Dotson." 

We see you ladies.

"In our current times there are influences and ideals surrounding us that leave us cold and industrially sterile. Yet, in the midst of it all there can still be found some softness,solace and hope."

MKE Street Style Interview with Rosha Brister

Read Vato's interview with stylish boss lady, Rosha Brister.

Prior to the interview; Rosha and I met at a festival, where we were able to share our passions about fashion. Rosha Brister is the owner and founder of The Style Hub, an online style directory where you will be able to locate local stylists from a variety of search options. Basically Rosha is dope and can connect with the people that you need for all things fashion and style related. In addition, this led up to Rosha asking me to host an event called, 'The Battle of Salons' Fashion Show.

We met at a coffee shop for the interview to talk her "street style."

What is your style?

Rosha likes to consider her style like the modern day 70s era. She is very fascinated with high wasted denim, crops tops, deep cut v-neck shirts, turtle necks, hats, and fur scarfs. Keeping it in a time she feels most appreciated in.

Who or what influences your style?

Rosha feels as if inspiration comes from other clothing pieces. Wondering how she could duplicate something and add her own twist to it. She says social media is one of her hugest outlets when it comes to looking at pieces to influence her style.

How does your closet look?

Rosha considers herself to be very organized and a bit of a neat freak. She has all her denim in one spot, but everything else is color coordinated, hanging up and or folded. One thing I found interesting is how she switches her closet as the seasons change.

Favorite places to shop?

Urban outfitters, American Apparel, and H&M
