Giant sunflowers adorned the runway – which included a skate ramp – and the ceiling featured projections of blue skies and clouds. The fashion show was a grandiose affair with nature a main theme. Tyler, The Creator followed in the footsteps of Kanye West last night when he presented his first fashion show in Los Angeles as part of an event organized by MADE, which explores the intersection between style and music. I think that that’s super ill to push.Don’t let em kill your flowers. And I think it’s not an aesthetic, but it’s a world of stuff that’s like that-like the picnics that we still find romantic … It’s just a beautiful, romantic thing that we love the idea of. I remember watching Mariah Carey’s ‘Always Be My Baby’ video-they’re on that tire swing and they just jump in the lake… That’s my idea of romance as a grown adult. And again, I think you and I share the same idea of romance, of what that is. When I see your photos and your work, I’m like, Oh, he gets it. That means we’re on the same wavelength we got the same antennas.

It’s: When you’re really out there in the world and you’re on your adventure, call me, because I’ma be out there doing my thing,” the rapper said. “That’s Call Me If You Get Lost is about. Tyler, the Creator agreed, explaining the images could inspire Black kids to pursue a life of adventure. The people in them are not in a real space-I staged them, I set it up, but the moments are real all the same.” “These photos are sort of a mythic version of Georgia for me. “I sort of feel like if there is any connection to these photos or this show, it is that for you Okaga is a mythic place that is based on a collection of memories,” he said. Redlining was basically a systemic way to divide people and keep them from mobility, so I think about this idea of how people are mobile now, versus how Black people have been prevented from being mobile in the past.”īeyoncé Reportedly Got First Black Photographer to Shoot ‘Vogue’ Cover “I don’t know if this applies for you or if you have any thoughts on this, but one other thing this body of work deals with is people’s reclamation of landscape,” Mitchell said. “In the history of landscape photographers, it’s been a lot of white folks in those types of pictures-I just hadn’t seen a lot of folks from Atlanta who looked like me. But I also, in a couple pictures, drew red lines through them, sort of referencing the history of the South and divisions that were made by people. Mitchell, an Atlanta native, said he had spent the last three years traveling for his fashion photography gigs, but was inspired to “return home” and do his own version of a “Southern project.” The images centered around Black people in pastoral, outdoor landscapes like the sand dunes, green fields, and a lake. It’s an approach that is highlighted in Mitchell’s new solo exhibitions-“Dreaming in Real Time” and “I Can Make You Feel Good”-at Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City. In a recent phone conversation for Vogue magazine, the Tylers discussed their creative outputs and how they aim to create fantastic worlds that are also based in reality. The young “image-makers” are known for their distinct aesthetics that have been heavily influenced by their hometowns, animated movies, surrealist art work, and their own dreams. Tyler, the Creator and Tyler Mitchell have more in common than just their first names.
