Beyoncé's stylist is bored by fashion
It's little surprise that the woman who took Beyoncé from House of Dereon to style powerhouse or turned Rihanna into the reason you can't stop wearing costume jewellery with sportswear would have attitude, and in a candid interview with Vogue.it, Lysa Cooper proves she's got bags of it.
While she may be responsible for creating looks that define this particular style moment, Cooped is bored by fashion right now, suggesting that with the internet turning everyone into self-proclaimed experts, there's little room for creativity from the real experts, commenting 'shouldn’t we make the beautiful product, and then decide how to sell it, rather than already know what you’re selling and then try to make the product match?'
It's not just people-pleasing that's irking Cooper right now, the style that's born from it is leaving her cold too. She continues, 'they’ve gone into that Coachella-esque white girl…I don’t really have money, but you know that these shoes cost a $1000 moment. That’s another thing that’s really bothering me. I like a floral print. I like a denim jacket. I like some dirty hair. Throw that all together, that’s not fashion'.
As a stylist with such influence perhaps we can rely on her to get a backlash going and propel ideas based on what's inspiring her right now, which Cooper tells Vogue is 'Homeless people and kids'. Beyoncé does derelique? Watch this space.
