Asake - Peace Be Unto You (PBUY)
In Asake's music video of 'Peace Be Unto You' (PBUY), one can't help but be mesmerized by the exquisite fusion of music and fashion. Striking sophistication permeates throughout, as the artist undeniably pushes the envelope with a selection of high-fashion pieces, that are as harmonious with the video's aesthetic as the verses are with the beats. The video is a spectacular showcase of a plethora of brands, with a predominant emphasis on accessories, specifically sunglasses. Bottega Veneta leaves a mark with its BV1184S 003 and BV1165S 001, both of which exude an edgy cool vibe. Balenciaga's BB0228S 002 and Gucci's GG1294S 004 amplify the enigmatic energy, while Bottega Veneta’s BV1101S 010 and Westward Leaning's Voyager 38 add an undertone of eclectic chic. The clothes elegantly complement these accessories. With Max Mara's Brown Manuela Wrap Coat and Prada's three-pocket two-piece pajama set, the video paints a canvas of laid-back urban luxe. The narrative further develops with Inès & Maréchal's single-breasted lambskin jacket infusing a pop of color alongside Dolce & Gabbana’s bow-tie detail blouse, providing a flair of romantic femininity. The blazers - Kwaidan Editions Double Face Wool Blazer, Victoria Beckham, Jil Sander, and Burberry’s creations - embrace an androgynous vibe, embodying a modern, powerful expression. The video concludes with a resounding note of luxury and high fashion, thanks to Tom Ford's FT0525 28A. Each fashion piece tells a story, merging effortlessly with the music, creating an unparalleled sartorial spectacle.
