streetcouture82: Cassette playa a.k.a Carrie mundane translates sound into design


Last month we did a little bio one of my favourite illustrators 'parra' ....continuing on that thread, let me introduce you to the savagery illustrator that is the cassette playa, a.k.a Carrie Mundane. Brittish born, University of Westminster graduate, fashion designer slash(/) stylist, has done outfitts and conceptualized video wardrobes for the likes of M.I.A ,Dizzie Rascall, Afrikan Boy, patrick Wolf, Klaxons, Ruff squad.......... and the list Carries on. (pun intended)

Carries work is distinct, u can't miss it, very bright colours, savagery ancient tribal insignias shamman and indian aztec like, animal paw print fused with skater fashion, japanese anime(manga), 90's rave, science and science fiction, forming an urban tribal look.... very raw, raw indeed, borderline scary if barbie prints are your thing,... which carrie is from far removed.

I got introduced to carries fashion through...... (here it comes).. sneakers! Having done a number of collabo's with nike, creating signature dunks,blazers, and varsity jackets for limited edition quickstrike releases, we've been lucky to have had some of her threads pass our way via nike's concept store, gallery on 4th ,....thank u thank u thank u . (may this passage continue to flow now and far into the morrow)

cassette playa is raw street and should not be triffled with, play on playette!
