  • Interviews: Director of Makeup Artistry, Bianca Alexander

  • Daydream Nation
    When it came to writing a little introduction about label Daydream Nation I was slightly lost for words. I’m not sure why as the label is so visual and playful that there is so much to say, but after putting the interview together all I could think about was fairytales and my imagination kept drifting faraway making it incredibly difficult to concentrate.

A Harvard graduate at 19, Leslie is credited for his discovery of young rnb star Cassie, and famed for producing work for artists such as Beyoncé, Britney Spears and Donell Jones just to name a few. Do a little googling and you...
