Langston Hughes alluded to a dream shivering up when deferred, like a raisin in the sun. More inspirational is what happens when a dream isn’t deferred, but taken with all seriousness. Nobody personifies that more than designer, Stevie Boi. Once a freelance model in New York, he took his dreams in his own hands and planted the seeds that resulted in a phenomenal sunglasses line called SB Shades. Superstars like Lady Gaga, Fergie, Jeffree Starr and more have all been caught rocking his shades and Stevie Boi is now branching out to accessories and anything else he can harvest in fashion. Now, that the seed of a dream is blossoming so quickly, it’s a wonder how I got to catch up with Stevie Boi and talk Grace Jones, style, and copycats.

There are two types of people in this world, the way I see it. There’s people who were born free and naked, and people who were born naked. I was born naked; my freedom wasn’t found until I was conscious of clothes. The admiration I have for the clothes is a bit embarrassing, really. It’s seen as silly because clothes are on surface created by our ancestors to keep us warm, right? So, anything more than that is probably frivolous first world concerns that I probably shouldn’t waste my time on.

Artist Appreciation
Talent is an art that only the chosen few possess, whether it’s writing, singing, playing an instrument or being able to bend your legs behind your back. Having a certain talent separates you from others who may or may not possess it in the same way that you do, so when a person decides to capitalize on their ability, it is something to be admired.
