Little Simz - Gorilla
In Gorilla, Little Simz offers an exclusive view into a charming cocktail of style principles. The music video is a lush exhibition of varying fashion aesthetics, each more compelling than the last. One can't help but reminisce the beauty of African folklore tales and the vivid patterns that adorn their clothing. The video artfully pairs it with a plush robe, the union of comfort and style undoubtedly a timeless duo. Elements of elegance sneak in with the grace of a headband, a simplistic yet impactful accessory. The retro tracksuit is a nod to the iconic street style, giving an edge that counterbalances the whimsical charm of layered turquoise necklaces. The iconic Burberry monogram clutch further enhances this fusion of aesthetics. The spotlight, however, is on the Bardot Jumpsuit, its mesh ruched texture telling a tale of femininity draped in strength. The dark floral wrap skirt speaks volumes about embracing one's natural elegance, while the cut-out denim and the classic high waist skinny jeans remind us of the evergreen love for classic pieces. Long curly extensions, a velvet logo badge newsboy cap, a petite piqué backpack, and a nail bead baby blue coat remind us of the multi-faceted nature of fashion that Little Simz so effortlessly embodies. The video ends on a high note with the court hall wedding dress. Its lace v-neck details scream regality and the orange cotton knitwear adds an unexpectedly riveting pop of colour, leaving us all in awe of this eclectic, inspiring fashion journey.
