I've always been fascinated by how music and fashion move together — sometimes in sync, sometimes in tension, but always in dialogue. What begins in underground clubs and basements often rises to the surface, reshaped by culture and eventually embraced by the mainstream. While this sounds like the story of a sound, it’s also the story of a look.

The clothes we wear and the music we love are two of the most powerful ways we express identity. Both are languages of belonging — markers of era, attitude, and influence. If music is the voice of a generation, then fashion is its face.

This relationship has echoed across time. The wild rhythm of Jazz in the 1920s found its match in short fringe flapper dresses. The energy of Rock ’n Roll in the 1950s brought pompadours, leather jackets, and sideburns into the spotlight. And the spirit of the Hippie movement was worn as much as it was heard — in bell-bottoms, flower prints, and festival layers.

With Music Costumes, I wanted to pay tribute to this cultural synergy. The series features 35 minimalist illustrations of iconic looks worn by musicians who have shaped not only the sound of their time, but also its style — from Bob Dylan to Beyoncé.

I approached each piece with precision and care, aiming to capture not just the clothes themselves, but the stories woven into them. Whether it’s Janis Joplin’s layered jewelry, Prince’s sculptural guitar, or the exact geometry of the spikes on a KISS costume, every detail was an opportunity to honor the visual identity of these artists.

To me, fashion and music share something rare — a creative partnership without ownership. They evolve together, influence each other, and often fuse into something larger than either one alone. Music Costumes is a visual homage to that ongoing conversation.
