About Your Hustle

Project Name

Today I’m presenting “Crush On You 2020” – A fashion tribute to the ICON Lil’ Kim

How did you get started, and how did you get to where you are today?

Lil’ Kim’s debut album “HARD CORE” turned 24 this week. The breakout prject changed the music game forever and we, at ROE: The Agency wanted to commemorate this iconic album with a special photo concept.

I connected with DMV boutique Wardrobe 1987 and together we decided to pay homage to the “Crush On You” music video. Misa Hilton broke all the rules and forever changed styling with her edgy and flirty monochromic vision, an iconic staple in style. From an editorial standpoint, monochromatic schemes in hip hop all started with Misa Hilton and her muse Lil’ Kim, and we are forever grateful. We have a fashionable CRUSH on those ladies.

Happy Anniversary to them!

Challenges and Obstacles

Has it been a smooth road? If not, what were some of your struggles along the way?

It was a very smooth road! Everyone, from the models, fashion brand, beauty team, and photographer alike, all love the stylish vibes from the “Crush On You” music video. The only struggle was deciding which model would slay which color! (laughs)
