Lizzo and Jeremy Scott Discuss the Transformative Power of Style at Forces of Fashion

The singer and “Vogue” cover star Lizzo joined the Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott for an intimate conversation covering the election, diversity in fashion, and the transformative power of style….

When they connected for today’s conversation at Vogue’s Forces of Fashion summit, Lizzo and Jeremy Scott were many miles apart—the former in Mexico, where she’s currently working on her new album, and the latter at home in Los Angeles. Yet within seconds, the two friends and collaborators instantly hit upon their usual quick-fire rapport, with Lizzo kicking off proceedings in her typically upbeat style by asking: “Are we talking about the fashion, the clothing, the oohs, the aahs?” 

Not before catching up on politics, of course. While conversation quickly turned to the recent election results, with both describing the palpable sense of relief they felt after hearing of Joe Biden’s victory last week, the pair then dived into another subject close to their hearts: the various ways they have strived to change more outdated attitudes within the fashion industry from the inside.

“As a big girl, fashion wasn’t available for my body type, so I had to get creative,” Lizzo told Scott. “If it wasn’t made for me, I made it for me—we have that in common.” As a chart-topping pop superstar, these days Lizzo might have the world’s biggest fashion houses on speed dial, but Scott still remains a friend and her go-to red carpet designer. The pair reminisced about some of the boldest looks they’ve conceived together, from the showstopping red sequin dress and feather boa Lizzo wore to last year’s MTV Video Music Awards to the sculptural gown of ruched, baby pink taffeta custom-made by Scott’s atelier at Moschino for her cover story in Vogue’s October issue. 

Over the course of the conversation, it became clear that what unites their style outlook is a belief in the transformative power of fashion. “It can alter or heighten your mood, of course, but it can also send a message: from literally ‘Vote,’ to ‘I’m that bitch,’” said Scott. And as they explained, that transformation isn’t just about the pieces they wear, but also their shared purpose of “bringing joy” to their fans and followers, whether through fashion or music. “As long as we’re here, baby, we’re gonna make sure people get included,” Lizzo concluded. “I believe in us, right?”

Adin Ross Blindsided by Kanye West’s Controversial Gift, A Swastika Shirt With His Name

HonkMagazine

Adin Ross is a well known streamer in the hip-hop community, famous for showcasing some of the biggest artists in the genre. He has hosted viral interviews and has helped amplify the work of music giants like Drake, earning a reputation as a connector between artists and their fans. However, things took a shocking turn with Kanye West, and the relationship may be irreparable. In the past, Ross has expressed his admiration for West and even tried to collaborate with him on his stream. Recently, West made a bizarre attempt to reach out to Ross by gifting him a custom t-shirt with a Swastika and Ross’s name. This left Ross, who is Jewish, feeling horrified and betrayed.

The awkward moment unfolded during a FaceTime call that Ross recorded and shared with his followers. What started as a friendly chat quickly turned shocking when West unveiled the offensive t-shirt. Ross was visibly stunned, exclaiming, “What the f*ck?!” as he processed what he had just seen. He paused the video and turned to his audience to express his disbelief. “He has a shirt with a Swastika with my name on it,” he said, clearly disappointed and in shock. His viewers reacted with outrage and support for Ross, flooding the chat with their messages.

Throughout the call, Ross tried to keep his cool and handled the situation carefully. He later explained that some fans might have expected him to confront West more aggressively, but he felt the entire situation was just too absurd. “I know y’all are gonna say I didn’t stand up to him,” he noted, emphasizing that his calm reaction didn’t mean he supported West’s actions. This incident is just another episode in Kanye West’s ongoing controversies, but for Adin Ross, it feels like a personal betrayal.

Jim Jones Goes Savage On Ma$e’s Weight By Saying “He Looks Really Rough”

HonkMagazine

Jim Jones, the Harlem rapper known for speaking his mind, has recently taken shots at fellow rapper Ma$e in an interview with XXL magazine. Jones didn’t hold back when discussing Ma$e’s appearance, specifically targeting his weight. “Ma$e needs to go on a diet,” Jones said straightforwardly. “He needs to get his life together. He should see a doctor for a check up because he looks really rough.”

Jones was just getting started and didn’t shy away from making more harsh comments. “His body looks out of shape,” he added. “He looks big around the neck and his waist is a mess. I’m body shaming him because he needs to get it together and hit the treadmill, do some push ups, do something! Especially if he’s going to mess with me.” The two rappers have a complicated history with some past disagreements in the Harlem music scene. While Ma$e has mostly been quiet about the recent drama, Jones seems unbothered and is willing to take things personal. As of now, Ma$e has not responded to Jones’ strong remarks.

It’s uncertain if he will ignore the comments or fire back, but Ma$e is known for not staying silent for long. Given the current tensions in the New York hip-hop scene, this exchange could stir up old rivalries. Jim Jones is recognized for his bold personality and straightforward opinions, and his recent remarks show he’s not concerned about hurting anyone’s feelings, especially those of Ma$e. Fans are eagerly awaiting Ma$e’s reaction. Will he respond, or will he choose to take the high road? Either way, this rivalry between these two Harlem rappers is heating up.
