Everyone had a fitted cap, a throwback jersey and a white t-shirt. Therefore, everyone followed stylist Crystal Streets. An urban culture was based off a Crystal’s imaging work with Jay-Z. “I think that period of time was so surreal. I didn’t realize the impact I had on setting trends at that time. I was so passionate, young and hungry. I didn’t realize at the time how much influence we had over our audience. It was definitely a great time in my life! It molded who I am as a stylist today“
Creating a culture with her style as a nucleus, Crystal began to expand her style, giving credit to Vivienne Westwood’s designs as her main muse. “I’m a huge fan of the designer- the femininity, the structure, the fabrics… love it!” She also finds inspiration through her world travels with various artists. “Europe is so much more fashion forward than the US and has so much fashion history. The richness of their culture definitely translates through their style and fashion.”
Tokyo is one of her favorite places to find inspiration. She notes a tiny district called Shibuya where the women are undeniably styled with a mix of so many different elements (socks, jewelry, different patterns). Her high-street style is created through a mix of elements from Century 21, Dolce and Gabanna, Vivienne Westwood, Martin Margiela, Pucci and Valentina. Currently, Cyrstal is working on her own jewelry line- LyraLoveStar, a very celestial and inspirational line designed for young women to follow their dreams. Having people follow her vision seems like no huge task.
Get in line…
