I was the lead stylist for<br />
iCu the Network for a few<br />
months.<br />
3) Describe your personal style<br />
and aesthetic What types<br />
of styling work draws you in<br />
most<br />
Well since my name is Rap,<br />
my personal style can be<br />
very gaudy and loud but I<br />
style it down to be minimal<br />
and sleek at the same time.<br />
Some days I feel dapper,<br />
some days I feel grungy,<br />
some days I feel glamorous,<br />
and then there are days I<br />
roll it all together. Sometimes<br />
I look in the mirror<br />
and think to myself "Who<br />
do you think you are" then<br />
I shrug my shoulders and<br />
walk out the door. I dress<br />
like I DGAF because rap is<br />
offensive, right<br />
I'm drawn to styling work<br />
that take risks and can tell<br />
that it was styled with intention.<br />
There's so much work<br />
“There’s so much work that looks the same,<br />
so it’s refreshing when an editorial tries to go<br />
against what is popular or trendy. It could be<br />
super hot or it might not hit, but the fact that<br />
the stylist tried something different, I can<br />
respect.”<br />
