Style Icon: Janelle Monáe

2/25/2014

Welcome! Scientifically speaking, black and white are respectively the absence and presence of color. Both are staples within the fashion industry; with black being known as an instant slimming agent, while white is know as an ethereal color in any elegant, graceful and/or light look.

No matter the look, black and white are essential colors to have in one's wardrobe. One of my all time favorite R&B artists and style icons Janelle Monáe has perfected the versatility both colors possess. Monáe is know for for timeless use of black and white in a number of her red carpet and musical appearances. There's a story behind her black and white "uniform" I'll let you read about here. And for some strange reason, if you've never heard Janelle, here's your chance to hear one of her latest hits along with one of my all time favorites.

Oh, and of course a few of her classic looks. Enjoy!
