Urbanista Exclusive : Jelly and Cream Interview
As I was tweeting some people, I got notification that Jelly and Cream followed me. So I began to discover that they are a British Streetwear Brand, and as you can see from my blog, I love streetwear and new upcoming brands.So I was lucky enough to email them and do a Q&A so heres what they had to say:
Interview:
When did you start Jelly and Cream and what motivated you to start it?
Jelly and Cream was first launched about two years ago with a
completely different brand look that actually worked for us. Our designs used
to be illustration based and catered for a much younger audience but as we grew
our brand had to grow with us and so we re-launched earlier this year with a
whole new branding.

We started off with Jelly and Cream just being a little hobby that
we could pass time with and it started to do a lot better than we had planned
and everything just went on from there.

Where did you get your inspiration from?
Inspiration definitely comes from the way we dress ourselves and the
people around us. It has a great influence on the type of products we have come
out with. We’re very open-minded in regards to design and we definitely take to
following fashion trends.

If you could design for any celebrity who would it be and why?
That’s a tough one. We haven’t really ever thought of that. We know
a few celebs we’d love to see our stuff on; Kanye West, ASAP Rocky, Rihanna,
Rita Ora, Pharell just to name a few and simply because these individuals are
widely recognised in regards to fashion. They express individuality in the way
they dress and are very diverse in picking clothing items. That’s what

What is one key garment/item that you cannot live without?
Personally, I’m addicted to gold
jewellery. Haha. But currently I’m in love with our CREAM snapback - can’t live
without it.

How to style their dream t-shirt:
Daytime
For that festival look , I would wear the Dream Young Crop Top with a black high waisted skinnys, a denim vest and brown aztec boots.
As for accessories , I would go tribal and pair the Aztec boots with backpack and wear feather earrings,

Nightime:
Go Classy and Chic by dressing up the Dream Young Crop Top with a high waisted mini skirt and elongate these legs with classic black heels. Decorate this look with a bold gold chain necklace , a red ruby ring to match the red timeless clutch and Black beaded bracelets.And don't forget , for a theatrical look add chocking red lipstick and traditional bowler hat

VMAS Fashion Flaws and Fails
Friday, 7 September 2012
Flaws
Taylor Swift Rihanna Zoe Saldana
I love the simplicity these 3 artists/actors wore to the VMAs last night. Its so simple and so chic
This just shows you don't need to all out on a red carpet event :)
For Example : Taylor Swift : I love Taylor's menswear chic look she has for this red carpet.
It makes her look more grown up.
Rihanna : Simplicity is the keywith Rihanna's Killer dress. I love how simple it is
and how she went for that Halle Berry haircut and bright red lips to go with it.
Zoe Saldana: I've always admired Zoe Saldana style. She always make everything look
so perfect, especially with this. Pairing nude with dark brown make her outfit so
modern and elegent .
Fails
Alicia Keys Nicki Minaj Rita Ora
I was quite disappointed with what these 3 artists because of what they wore for the red carpet.
For 2/3 artists , I saw them live t the beginning of the summer and I love their style but they let
me down a little bit :(
For Example : Alicia Keys : for her dress its like she was wrapped up in Cling film ( no offense)
Nicki Minaj: I have nothing against the jumpsuit she wore , in fact I love it, its just
if she dyed her hair blond or even black it would have made it a lot better
Rita Ora : I love Rita Ora's 80s/90s hip hop style but this jumpsuit is not right for her.
If the V opening was at the back, it would have made it a lot better and more chic
