Wake up babe, a new @essence fashion diary just dropped! It was a treat to work on this piece especially after attending ‘Othello’ and seeing principal actress @kimberelaynesprawl breathe life into her tenacious and brave character Emilia alongside Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal. Such an honor to write about Sprawl’s nuanced performance, her relationship with fashion, and her self-styled @bibhumohapatra gown with accessories by @vbellan_ and @brandonblackwoodnyc. Kimber also declared how she is energized by supporting brands like @diotima.world and @shopmadamette who she wore to the after-party of opening night. head to essence.com for the full story 🤍✨.
