Videography: Mariah Carey

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Mariah Carey is a lot of things. A diva, first and foremost. A loon. A mother to dem babies. A Jenny Craig spokeswoman. A Home Shopping Networker. But a fashion icon? Eh. When she first whistle-registered her way onto the music scene in 1990, she was fresh-faced, curly-haired and — style-wise — pretty boring. As the 90s went on, she shed her good girl image and most of her clothes to become the scantily-clad chanteuse we know and love today. For this edition of Videography, we emancipate Mimi’s style evolution through her best and most iconic music videos.

Free Exchange Fur: Adrienne Landau from Forest to NYFW to Subway to Me… to HSN

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Last week, Vice Magazine posed this furry question. Free Range Fur: Is it still murder if you trap it, skin it, and sew it yourself? Aside from my belief that it is more humane to raise an animal for slaughter than it is to take a free and happy one out of the forest, this week FashionIndie asks our own fur-centric question: Is it still murder if you earn your fur by bartering the written word that embodies Adrienne Landau‘s collection inspiration for her run-of-show pamphlet? What if the initial meeting were to happen entirely by chance, outside of Lincoln Center, whereupon I would as well wind up interviewing her  on the subway en route back to our respective offices in the garment center? Could my conscious cope? I think the answer is pretty clear. And I’m wearing it now.

Mary J. Blige Sings and Sells Out Scents on HSN

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

I don’t know when the Home Shopping Network became diva grand central, but it’s been racking up more celebrity appearances than late night TV. And now they even have musical performances! This from a network once only known for Marie Osmond‘s creepy doll collection. Noted grown-ass woman Mary J. Blige stopped by HSN to hock her holiday gift sets, featuring her first fragrance “My Life” and her latest, “My Life Blossom” — both of which sold out — and to perform hits from her classic debut album, My Life and her latest…My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1). In case you didn’t get the memo, this is MJB’s “Life” and we’re all just living in it.
