Another amazing woman who crushed it last year and continues to inspire me as she shocks and awes the world, aka role model.

Vashtie is one badass multi-slasher, as in artist/filmmaker/designer/party promoter/DJ/model. That’s a lot to squeeze into one LinkedIn profile.
Why I love her
Recognized by Nylon magazine for her influence in NYC music, fashion and lifestyle, the first female to design a Jordan brand sneaker had a way-cool 2015:
Vashtie teamed up with Puma for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter collabs, directed an art film for Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” rocked DJ gigs around the world (from Coachella to Paris!), produced weekly parties at NYC’s Webster Hall, and starred in a Showtime reality series about the New York nightlife scene. Can you say hella busy?
She said what?
“The biggest part in anything you wear is you have to make it your own. Put a feather in your fedora or something. Punctuate it with yourself.”
“One party or one night is never exactly the same.”
