Fashion stylist Zerina Akers has opened up on the dizzying wardrobe American singer Beyonce.
According to her, Beyonce’s wordrobe is billowing with jewel-toned skirts, sculptural shoulders, and curtains of diamanté which serves as the maximalist material expression of the visual album’s message: the insurmountable beauty and majesty of the African diaspora.
“Creating a world where we get the opportunity to escape visually, especially in today’s circumstances, is always a treat,” Akers, who led the production’s costume design and assembled talents from all around the globe, from Senegal’s Tongoro studio to Greek designer Mary Katrantzou, said.
“I often think of the many people dealing with very real and harsh realities,” Akers says, “and hope that if they saw a glimpse of my work, it would bring them joy,” she added.
