BEYSINESS AS USUAL

THE ICON : QUEEN BADU


Erykah Badu Red Bull Lecture Brooklyn 2013

BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART

Tuesday night, I had the opportunity to be a part of a lecture held by Red Bull Music Academy at the Brooklyn Museum with one of my all time favorite tastemakers, Miss Erykah Badu. Her music, lyrics, style, message everything has been a constant inspiration for me ever since my mom had Baduizm ('97) On & On in our house growing up. Her energy & aesthetic is just too dope. As this woman breathes, she creates. She said it best, "I gravitate toward artists I believe," and Badu is the truth.

CERFIFIED


bra·va·do noun \brə-ˈvä-(ˌ)dō\
a : blustering swaggering conduct b : A bold manner or a show of boldness; a pretense of bravery


After reading her interview in Vogue's The Editor's Eye... Eye have been completely obsessed + inspired by the spirit + personality that is Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele. A real tastemaker; fearless yet effortless; youth and energy. Former Fashion Editor and Editor at Large at Vogue, CCdD's "salade" was in-your-face fresh and different when the fashion world needed it most. In an industry that most times takes itself too seriously; when some view runway as the end-all and look 3 is plopped into the pages of magazines lifeless and uninspiring, Carlyne is the flavor, spice, the hot haute sauce. Upbeat, funky, big; this woman does not give a fck what you think,
and it shows in everything she does.


From Vogue's, The Editor's Eye
"Everyone tells me, "Carlyne, I don't even have to see your name on the page , I know it's you." I mean, it's my Cerf Style, the mix, my mix. I never take clothes of designers, like runway look number five of whoever, and shoot just that. I always do my own salade. I have always done it, that's what I am known for. I was the first to mix a Chanel jacket with jeans. Cheap and expensive, I don't care. Chic is not because you have money. You are entirely dressed in I-don't-know-what and that means you are chic? Non! For personal chic, you need to mix your own shit and make it happen. I love to do gold with shit, you know? It's my thing. Gold with shit. J'adore ça. Me, my favorite thing in the world is Adidas, but I wear it with diamonds or a pave Rolex. That for me is what chic is. La simplicité."
In honor of Cerfitude, a moodboard/salade of some of her editorial, and quotes from various interviews :
