Black Femininity: It Girls {Part 2}

It Girls 🏙️

An it girl is a fashionista with an engaging personality. Today I would like to discuss a certain type of it girl. Girls that grew up in inner city neighborhoods (or were influenced by their style) who rock bamboo earrings, keep their nails and hair done, create their own style lanes and are never afraid to take risks. They created something unique and turned it into a hot commodity.

Ghetto fabulous (Uptown couture) is a term that was popularized in the 1990s when hardcore rap artists and their fashion sense started gaining nationwide attention. It describes "pertaining to or noting a lifestyle of showy but superficial glamour and luxury that is sometimes adopted by people in or from an urban ghetto." Some people embrace the term, while others shame it due to its sometimes negative connotation. This mainstream choice of style is a subculture of Black American fashion.

This style is also described as "90s aesthetic", "freaknik aesthetic" "hoochie or hoochie mama aesthetic", but to me it's just an urban it girl. I love how diverse urban couture is and I will be showing some of my favs down below. It's all about making bold statements and being unapologetically you.

STOP DOING ROMANCE

PEOPLE WERE NOT MEANT TO BE IN ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

YEARS OF DATING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for anything other than PLATONIC

Wanted to live together anyways for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “COHABITATION”

“Yes please give me DEPENDENCE. Please BIND ME to another.” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

“Hello I would like to enter into a contract to chain myself to you”

THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS

Anji: "I cosplayed as EMIRU. The key point is the cute three-braided outfit. I bought the clothes in Harajuku. I'm happy to be a part of La Reine's romance revolution today!". The snaps is from outside of Shibuya Public Hall from LAREINE's "Metamorphosis" tour show from Vshot June 1999, Volume 1.

Found this Flickr from 2006 for this goth model/photographer girl who had a project where she went around Japan to random people’s houses and posed besides them while they ignored her and read books or played with model kits. Truly ahead of her time.
