E51. Jerome Lamaar: The Power of Imagination.

Today’s conversation is with creative director, designer and stylist Jerome Lamaar. Jerome is a trendsetter whose perspective on art, culture, concepts and colors has transformed style. Exploring the power of imagination, controlling their own narrative, and pride in their community, Jerome has never been afraid to color outside the lines, illustrating their own reality. In today’s episode, we’re reminded of what it means to design a life on your own terms. We explore themes of manifestation, building your own brand, staying true to yourself, and the value in accessibility.Things mentionedWilli Smith: Street Couture - Cooper Hewitt5:31 by JÉRÔME LAMAAR for And Now - Macy'sBaby PhatDesigner and artist Ralph RucciWhat to readWilli Smith: Street Couture by Alexandra Cunningham CameronThe Chiffon Trenches: A Memoir by André Leon TalleyBlack Designers in American Fashion by Elizabeth WayFashion Trends: Analysis and Forecasting by Ann Marie Fiore, Eundeok Kim, Alice Payne Life Visioning by Michael Bernard BeckwithWhat to listen toMy Life by Mary J.
