Episode 19: Jamilla Okubo

Jamilla Okubo knew from her early childhood that fashion was in her blood. After art teachers and her mother noticed her unique eye for color, Okubo’s fate as an artist was set. After graduating from Parsons in New York City with a degree in Integrated Design, Okubo launched her career as a mixed media artist, painter, and entrepreneur. After a variety of chance encounters and once in a lifetime opportunities, Okubo found her designs at the center of some of the largest household names in fashion. From designing bags for Christian Dior to being tapped to work with the Tory Burch foundation, Okubo’s authenticity and American, Kenyan, and Trinidadian identity have contributed to her one of a kind designs–as a black female pioneer unapologetically incorporating her unique background into contemporary artistic visions.

Episode 18: Mari-An Ceo

Sometimes a costume can tell as much of a story as the character wearing it. As the lead costume designer for the hit Amazon Prime Series, Them, Mari-An Ceo is a seasoned wardrobe stylist crafting one of a kind looks to elevate the stories of the unheard. The series depicts a black family’s journey from North Carolina to East Compton during the great migration in the 1950s; unveiling the heart wrenching details of one African-American family’s attempt to escape the horrors of the South as they strive for a better life. Through the vivid depictions of one family’s struggle to freedom, Ceo’s ornate wardrobe designs create a world all on its own —  illuminating the power of fashion to tell any story. 
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Mari-An Ceo to discuss the underlying social and political themes discussed in Them, her personal connection to fashion projects, and the storytelling powers of costume design.

Episode 16: Ashley Longshore

Ashley Longshore believes that a girl is her own best friend. The Louisiana based artist described as “the modern Andy Warhol” is known for her signature colors and bold aesthetic; with pop culture and Hollywood glamour centric iconic art pieces. As a self-taught, unapologetic painter and prolific creator originally from Montgomery, Alabama, Ashley is the true embodiment of originality — using mixed mediums for each unique creation — and quickly becoming a legend in the art and fashion community. Longshore has worked with a variety of celebrity art collectors from Blake Lively to Salma Hayek and became the first solo female artist to exhibit her work at Bergdorf Goodman. Longshore’s entrepreneurial and go-getter spirit led her to launch her own business – encouraging artists to sell their work for what it’s worth – outside the art galleries and traditional means of art curation. 

In this week’s conversation, Ashley Longshore and I discuss the courage and conviction necessary to follow through on your vision, how to tap into your natural gifts, and why being “ambitchous” is a good thing.
