STYLE SPOTLIGHT: SIERRA

“Welcome to “Style Spotlight,” a series dedicated to our most inspiring, fashion influencers.”

Meet Sierra, a digital marketing and brand strategist from Philadelphia.

For our final style spotlight of 2020, we’re pleased to introduce our new friend, Sierra (aka @sierracartergordon)! Born and raised in Philadelphia, Sierra knows a thing or two about fashion and personal style. We sat down with her to talk everything from statement pieces to reality-tv and everything in between. Check out what she has to say below:

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Germantown specifically).

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

My personal style in general, is kind of lazy. I like to pay attention to the “cool” trends that are going on. I feel like my staples are probably a crop top like I currently have on (Something easy and simple on the bottom). For style inspo, it definitely helps when one of your best friends is a stylist. She gives me a lot of tips, and styles a lot of my outfits.

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

Definitely this jacket that I have on right now. When I got it, I decided f*ck it, I’m going to splurge (I feel like I never splurge on pieces like this). Honestly, it’s such an easy throw on, and it’s a statement in itself. So, I really don’t have to do too much.

Also, I love good details. You can always catch me with a few gold necklaces on. Right now for winter, I would say these combat boots. They’re definitely a huge staple.

Where do you shop?

Sadly, a boutique that I help run around the corner at 2nd and Market has closed. So, for years, a lot of my wardrobe has come from there. Other than that, I would say random brands that I find on Instagram, local shops, ASOS, and Zara!

Describe your personal style in three words?

Sleek/tailored, muted, and confident!

Any fashion related tips?

Be confident. Sometimes, I’ll put something on, and not really sure if I can pull this off. This jacket, for instance, I told myself for two weeks that I couldn’t pull it off. Today, threw it on, looked in the mirror, and told myself, “No, I look good!” So, be confident in what you put on, and it doesn’t matter what other people think.

INTERVIEWS: COBAIN

“Welcome to our “Interviews” column, where we feature black and brown influencers from around the world!”

8 QUESTIONS WITH ATLANTA RAPPER COBAIN

Hey everyone, and welcome back! In preparation for his upcoming project, we had the opportunity to sit down, and chat with ATL rapper, Cobain. Check out the full interview below:

How would you describe your musical style?

Progressive!

What is the first album you ever owned? How did you acquire it?

Ruff Ryders Ryde or Die Volume 1. The album belonged to my dad, but I stole it out of my moms car.

How would you describe your personal style on or off the stage?

“My Own!” Confident, sexy, and reserved. I like my clothes to make a statement for me. The same as a lions mane makes a statement for him!

What’s a song you have stuck in your head these days?

“Whole Lotta Choppas” by Sada Baby. Even though I’m just getting on to that song, I definitely can’t keep it off repeat.

Where do you find your artistic inspiration?

My muse! She never lets me down.

Who’s your fashion icon and why?

Currently I love my own style. Nobody has been exposed to the cultures I’ve been. Even if they were, I don’t think it would be possible for them to tie it all together like I do. People ain’t noticing yet! Soon they will. They way I coordinate & put outfits together. I’m going to have a impact!

How are you able to distinguish yourself from other performers?

Crowd control! Most entertainers are just rappers or singers. They leave out the entertainment aspect to performing.
Most people end up limited because they aren’t giving a live experience. They just doing karaoke.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

If I have my way, I’ll have my hands in everything. It’s a lot that comes with managing that though. I’m prepared for it! So, I’m gone get it.

Thank you Cobain! It’s been a pleasure chatting with you. Be sure to check out his music catalog and happenings found here.

Thanks for reading!
