Fashion || Rule Breaker: EBONY BONES
If she didn't shock you into today with her live performance at this year's Art Basel,
you should automatically recognize her as a force to be reckoned with by fashion.
Ebony Thomas, Afro-Punk rocker known as Ebony Bones completed her 2009 LP
titled "Bones of my Bones" fully equiped with an amazing shoot of Bones
styled head-to-toe by Nobuko Tannawa in Timothy James Andrews
She started building her name recognition in 2007 via MySpace and has since powered
runways (Diesel) and music festivals (SXSW) and even fashion campaigns (Yves Saint Laurent) with her electric performances.
As Mentioned in my previous entry, the inspiration for her look undoubtedly channels Addaperle ("The WIZ" 1975)
--I received personal confirmation of this from her sample of the WIZARDS cadence trumpets
from the film for the JC de Castelbajac runway performance.
‘‘Sometimes the best way to get a message across
is through comedy and color,’’ says Ebony Bones whose riotous punk stage act is all the proof one needs.
‘‘You don’t have to be glossy or shiny to be creative.’’ -The New York Times
