music and fashion are married I think that's why classical music is not as
accessible because you you imagine like a man wearing a tux or a black suit and
you imagine a girl wearing a ball gown when you look at pop music you see like
Beyonce or Rita Ora or any of these amazing artists who are wearing like
feathers everywhere and it's like why can't classical music do that too
I can't pick favorites because they're like my children and that would be wrong
the three best tips for getting the best vintage finds well you have to work hard
you have to put energy into it and you have to really search it's like looking
at a clothing rack in a vintage store you know how you have to go through like
every single thing and there's dust and your facial everywhere you have to do
that online like I will go to ebay and look at 142 pages of eBay or First Dibs
and I have so many favorite vintage finds I go to Far Fetched, Net-a-Porter
Matches Fashion, My Teresa, Moda Operandi but then I also love going to ebay first
dibs and looking for vintage stuff and also finding new and young fashion
designers that have like very few followers the most fun part of shopping
for me especially online is finding the vintage pieces that I've never seen
before so I love going to first dibs for instance and be like oh my god I've
never seen that old Escada dress because it's from 1980 actually through
Instagram like I do hashtag vintage couture and then I can see like what
things I'm missing or what things should I should be inspired by and so I'll see
like a Sean Paul Gautier corset you know and then I'll go into shop style and
type in John Paul go dig of course I turn to ebay or whatever site I'm
looking at this is John Paul Gaultier for La Perla this is an Asian designer Ivan
Young and I wore this for the Ariana Grande video this is a piece I found on
Instagram as well Michael leung goo and i wore this for the shoot and i love her
I incorporate vintage pieces into my wardrobe and into my look by combining
them with lower priced items like I will shop
on Amazon and get a tank top or a sweatshirt or sweatpants and then pair
them with really cute like fur slippers or like an amazing chen-pang coat you
know that makes the whole outfit elevated I wore these during the cardi B
rehearsals and people were like oh my god are they comfortable how are you
wearing those they're like sneakers in the studio I still want to look cute
just in case you never know who's gonna come into the studio like one time I was
like looking crazy and then like they were shooting behind the scenes with
like Toni Braxton and like you know another time Beyonce was there so I just
always want to look cool I love taking risks so I like taking
risk in music I like taking risk in fashion I would say like I'm bold there
are stereotypes in classical music and there's room for the most part in older
crowd it's an inaccessible form of music is very expensive to go to and people
aren't wearing that if they don't have like red lipstick on and rings
everywhere my style is different visually and musically so not only do I
play with beats and and move around a lot like I do this with my hands all the
time and and you know look at the audience and you're not really supposed
to do that ultimately I want my style to speak for me because like I can't play
the piano and have a conversation with the audience or sing sing lyrics so my
style has to represent how I'm feeling so if I do like a rap song sometimes
I'll wear like a leather corset I think I did that from Meek Mill I wore like a
leather corset and leather lace-up pants and red and then I did like a Chopin
Nocturne and and played like in a hooded Y project with a gown so it's just it
really it is a reflection of not just my personality but also the song with. Its so
different to perform with the hip-hop or pop or R&B singer than it is to do solo
classical piano because with someone like Cardi B you have to have as much
energy as her and have as much energy as the dancers and as a pianist I'm not used
to that I am always trying to make you know my performance badass
or even classical music badass but more importantly make it more accessible
