Styling Monica Blaire for BLAC Magazine
May 4, 2011
I’m giving ya’ll a glimpse behind the scenes with Detroit’s finest songstress, Monica Blaire (MB), for a B.L.A.C. Magazine photo shoot. I came in as the shoot’s wardrobe stylist after MB approached me about some style concepts she wanted to execute. I was all over it. If you are familiar with this artist, then you know she is all soul, energy, & magic! I’ve witnessed the wonder that is Monica Blaire as she has lit up stages across the city, & it’s an honor to style her up.
MB’s funky spirit is right up my alley; she has that quirkiness & heavy artistry that I am all about. Plus we are both members of the local hip hop community here in Detroit, so it was easy for us to connect. Collaborating with Detroit’s industry finest like jeweler Nneka Jackson, make-up artist Leila D’Amato, & hairstylist Mo, along with Monica Blaire was just magic in the making. Not to mention photographer Sean Lee & the rest of the crew in the house made it bang out for some reason? Maybe it was the fancy hor d’oeuvres on set? Or the wine? Or the triple fermented beer? ha.
For MB’s looks, I brought in pieces from Detroit designers, Fotoula Lambros Design & Angela McBride’s Peace Love Spandex, along with pieces from my own personal collection of garments. Nneka Jackson, B-Flyy Creations jeweler, customized a neck piece on the spot! That’s how we work! Peep a sneak peek at the BLAC mag shoot below. Keep an eye out for the printed issue on the streets soon!

RI$ FOR RDW: MOTOWN COUTURE
December 9, 2010
I am proud to announce that I -Ris Money- have joined the forces with one of the city’s most notable street mags, Real Detroit Weekly (RDW), for the debut fashion blog, Motown Couture.
Real Detroit is known for being on top of what’s the haps in the city in just about every spectrum of lifestyle & entertainment. For just that reason alone, I am in absolute honor to be part of the team, for their views in cultural advocating is right up my alley.
You may wondering what the difference between my two blogs will be, between Motown Couture & RI$I$M. RI$I$M was meant for a more widespread cultural coverage that should equally include the hip hop lifestyle, music, art, ETC. It may be hard to tell since it seems that all of RI$I$M’s content in the last year is completely fashion related. Forgive me, I am only one person, & the fashion world has completely consumed my time as of late. RI$I$M’s goal is to expose jewels dug from underneath the mainstream by especially presenting original content, whereas Motown Couture will be more absolute Detroit fashion driven, filled with more discussion topics rather than post-coverage like in RI$I$M. You can expect, perhaps, some cross posting between the two sources. However, as time spends, I hope each blog brings about a separate fulfillment for each its own reasons.
Be sure to check out Motown Couture at least weekly on RDW‘s official website at www.realdetroitweekly.com! I am very open to suggestions, discussion topics, feedback, fashion questions, etc! So feel free to leave a comment any which where. Looking forward!
