Angelo took a classic fashion approach on styling the forward album cover. Using a full suit from “Doublet” who is known for their fun whimsical ironic-styled clothing, and choosing the colors pink and green which Paid homage to Jodan’s mom’s old sorority colors. This outfit was a perfect match to help give the cover that iconic look and “picture day” feel.

jordan Ward
Angelo worked on styling Jordan Ward’s hit music video “White Crocs”. With the video direction being in black and white, Angelo took a clean suit approach to give a iconic look for Jordan. Paying attention to detail with putting him in black Balenciaga croc tall boots and the iconic white crocs. Keeping his eyes hidden behind flatlist shades to keep the look and feel of the video classic.
Angelo’s personal take with oversized suiting and throwing it off with wearing a baseball fitted hat, was excuted perfectly in the “idc” music video with Jordan and Joony. A very effortless look on both artists, gave the feel of a mid 1990’s NBA draft day. Sourcing actual big and tall suits from the 90’s, tailoring them to thier liking and adding colorful alligator shoes to make the outfit pop.
