Just like a big sister Around The Way Girls Creator and Super Stylista Radio Rose joins NYSD for a month of STYLE at the Diary. Keep up with Rose as she gives you the inside look to some of the NYC fashion scene's newest kept secrets!
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: Rose Garcia
What Up!!!
It's your girl Radio Rose Around The Way Girl's H.B.I.C. You may be accustomed to my sassy celeb trash talking/fashion blogging, so this month, I'm happy to show some love to my girls at NYSD and of course put y'all on to the NEW NEW! If you didn't know I hustle hard as a freelance stylist in NY. I've been doing editorials for about 4 years with some of your favorite magazines like Complex, Missbehave, LTD, Odd at Large, Dazed and Confused, The Fader and Trace. I've styled lookbooks for labels such as Married to the Mob as well as a few well respected Downtown and Japanese designers. I do some freelance writing for Missbehave Magazine and I'm also the newly appointed Fashion Director for Mass Appeal Magazine. Whew! What a mouthful!! Basically I dive into all the arts so my style evokes whatever I happen to feel currently most comfortable in. I love trapeze dresses that can hide those special places (and they're great whenever my inner fat girl calls and I want to binge on banana pudding and lattes). I'm a midget (5'3") so heels are a must but, when I'm running through the city for showroom pulls and market appointments they ain't cutting it. So I opt for cute flat boots or the hoodrat staple...hi-tops. I guess if I had to sum it up my style is somewhere in between an R&B Diva like Chaka Khan (I love big lioness hair) and Kilolo from Martin (I be wearing my dolphins).
As a soldier in the fashion game I get to see alot trends before hand. And as of late I've gotten to witness alot of pretty established streetwear brands graduating to full fledged contemporary lines proving that fashion always begins in the streets. There are also plenty of new designers that are reminiscent of the happy go lucky vivid brightly colored patterns that the Japanese were well known for. I plan on putting y'all on to some of the people and places that will truly change the game.
Hope you're ready!!
