PRESS: FootWear News (Cover Story) – “Kick Starters” featuring Vashtie, DJ Clark Kent, Bobbito, Ronnie Fieg and Jeff Staple – Written by Gerald Flores

Special thanks to Gerald Flores and FootWear News for giving me the honor of gracing their cover with legends; DJ Clark Kent, Bobbito, Ronnie Fieg and Jeff Staple. So far, it’s the top story on WWD.Com…please Margiela or Alexander Wang don’t make any announcements or debuts today – hahaha.

This is my second cover (but, this is the first I’ve shared so far), the first being a solo cover shot on the cover of Maco’s (a Trinidadian magazine) September issue.

++++++++++

Here are some behind the scenes shots of the shoot. It was pretty funny. At first, they staged me on the floor – laying on my side like a Vogue cover. It was a nice idea, but it was so not me…and amongst the guys, it made me look silly.

This is me probably voicing my concern that I look like a bird, laying on the ground…DJ Clark Kent totally said the same thing and voiced his opinion for me!

Finally, the photographer asked me to get to the top of the ladder and voila! Here it is. Shooting with these legends (and also friends) was amazing…and hilarious.

  • Lmao! Yeeeah, that's what I thought. esp. The way bobbito's standing & looking down, It def. feels like a wierd intro to one of " those" movies.
    Congrats tho!!

  • Hey Vashtie,

    I've been following you for a long time and am curious if you are interested in having a personal assistant over the summer. I would love to come to New York for a week or less or more and be able to follow you around just to get some insight on your lifestyle. I go to Indiana University and study Arts Management. I am my own Mobile DJ Director for the college radio station. I DJ around campus, but am trying to become more professional and be able to hold a long party on two turntables and a mixer, while right now I mainly use a computer and a mixer. I am interested in shoes and clothes and would love to be able to see what you do daily. If this sounds like something you are interested in please email me at simonepellar@yahoo.com
