GETTING LAWLESS WITH<br />

cham<br />

BOSS MAGAZINE<br />

22<br />

pieces, she posted them anyway and<br />

sure enough, 90% of her followers fell<br />

in love with her sense of style. When<br />

asked what her inspiration was she said,<br />

“Everything inspires me...I look at other<br />

people in the same industry, see what<br />

they’re up to,<br />

and [wonder]<br />

how I can do<br />

better than<br />

them.”<br />

Knowing<br />

that her<br />

“bright and<br />

tight” outfits<br />

were too<br />

much for her<br />

city as she felt that Toronto’s style was<br />

earthier than desired, Lue took a leap<br />

of faith and moved to Miami, Florida.<br />

Ironically enough, the theme of her<br />

latest collection is Miami: fun, crazy<br />

and wild - it seems fitting. The hard<br />

work, dedication, and stick-to-itiveness<br />

seen in her growing collection paid off<br />

as her attire caught the eyes of many<br />

people all over the world including<br />

reality TV show stars as well as actors<br />

who she later created outfits for. To<br />

keep up with demand, Lue says, “is a<br />

lot of work; but it is a work in progress.”<br />

Malaika Lue is currently working on<br />

opening up a boutique in South Beach,<br />

Miami then later gracing major cities<br />

within the United States with more<br />

boutiques. Malaika Lue encourages the<br />

up and coming designers and those<br />

pursuing their dreams to never give up<br />

and don’t be a quitter, “When things<br />

get tough, you keep going. Don’t be<br />

afraid because [once upon a time] that<br />

was me.”<br />

Knowing that her “bright and tight” outfits were too much<br />

for her city as she felt that Toronto’s style was earthier<br />

than desired, Lue took a leap of faith and moved to Miami,<br />

Florida. Ironically enough, the theme of her latest collection is<br />

Miami: fun, crazy and wild - it seems fitting.<br />

Now at the<br />

age of 22,<br />

and with<br />

one year of<br />

experience<br />

under her<br />

belt, Lue<br />

has proven<br />

herself to<br />

be more<br />

than just the average young fashion<br />

designer. She has created a collection<br />

that not only represents her party girl<br />

persona of being edgy, chic, and extra,<br />

but her pieces allow her clientele to<br />

feel the same way.<br />

cham tells boss readers that he wants the world to know:<br />

“I love love.”
