JT’s Beats By Dre x Mowalola Campaign Confuses Some, City Girl Responds

by

Besides being one of the best-known female groups making music today, City Girls JT and Yung Miami keep busy with plenty of other side projects. Between studio sessions with her partner in rhyme, the latter spends plenty of time with her two children and her Papi Diddy, as well as hosting her REVOLT podcast, Caresha Please. JT has been in a long-term relationship with Lil Uzi Vert for as long as we can remember and has notably always had a passion for fashion. Earlier in the summer she launched a clothing project that was well-received among fans, and now, the Florida native is expanding her modelling portfolio.

On Monday (September 19), fashion brand Mowalola unveiled photos from their latest campaign shoot – a collaboration with Beats By Dre. In the image below, JT models the famous silver headphones in an unusual way – covering her eye rather than her ears – while sporting a much more colourful hairstyle than usual. They clearly weren’t going for a conventional vibe, but not everyone on social media understood that. “Beats By Dre headphone covering her eye. Ok,” one critic wrote.

“😭😭 One thing about y’all porch ni**as y’all don’t let nobody have s**t,” the “Act Bad” artist replied in a tweet. “Nothing is to y’all standard. You’ll never see a Hugo Comte lens just like your beard will never connect 🤓,” she further disses the OP.

Elsewhere on social media, JT went on Instagram Live to discuss her photo shoot. “This is not for the trolls, this is not for the h*es, this is not for the people trying to defend it,” she began. “It’s for everybody. It’s for my dark skin girls with the nose… This Miss Mug Shot is now the face of a brand, b**ch,” the black-haired beauty hyped herself up.

Mowalola’s Autumn/Winter Showcase Was Dripped in New York Yankees Emblems

by

For her Autumn/Winter 2023 collection, Nigerian designer Mowalola Ogunlesi brought New York to London. The designer delivered a collection consisting of “New York Yankees” inspired pieces that pay tribute to the Big Apple. The collection titled “Dark Web” explored extreme “techno-apocalyptic tones,” signature Mowalola brand risqué pieces, and lots of New York nods.

In addition, highlights of the collection include huge bootleg Yankees logos that were on Mowalola pieces such as oversized leather jackets, knee-high boots, and belt buckles attached to skirts. Also featured on the runway was the label’s rumored Timberland collab with a perforated Yankees motif. “Smack a Bitch” rapper Rico Nasty was featured as a model for the collection. She sported an oversized mustard yellow motorcycle jacket and micro-mini skirt look emblazoned with a black New York Yankees-inspired motif.

Mowalola Autumn/Winter 2023 Collection

Mowalola created her Autumn/Winter 2023 collection to honor blueprint African-American fashion. Sagging pants, cocked hats, and Uptowns appeared on the runway. Elsewhere, bold and daring pieces were displayed such as extreme cutout dresses. A bawdy tank reading “insert disc here” with an arrow pointing to (you know where) was also featured. Additionally, massive handbags, sewer top totes, bizarre three-eyed sunglasses, and LED light makeup looks completed the “Dark Web” vision. According to Office Magazine, “Dark Web encapsulates the threads of sports, culture, and corporations that embody New York City — referred to by its darker moniker Gotham through signature the New York Yankees logo and NYC license plates printed across leather bags, jersey tees, leather jackets, and baseball caps.

Even the city’s Museum of Modern Art lettering was reimagined with “MoWA” text stamped on hoodies and tees reminiscent of local merchandise”. Moreover, there is no question as to why Mowalola decided to use New York as inspiration for her new collection, as did several other designers this season including Heron Preston, Who Decides War, and so much more. The city is filled with an eccentric style, art, and people on every corner. Mowalola Ogunlesi is known for captivating audiences with her unique designs that draw inspiration from literally anything and everything. All in all, while this is only her most recent example, we anticipate that this will definitely not be Mowalola’s last.
