Ari Lennox - Get Close (Official Music Video)
A quintessential nod to the urban and eclectic, Ari Lennox's Get Close music video is a symphony of fashion-forward choices. The video echoes the pulsating beat of the song with animated fashion statements that blend an understated cool with an unabashed vibrancy. Texture takes centre stage, summoning a spirit of youthful rebellion and easy-going charm. One cannot overlook a particular rush of sporty flair driven by a notorious triple-striped sportswear brand. The caramel tones of an oversized crochet t-shirt, interweaving with the fervour of the music, whispers of festival-infused fashion. The sharp orange optimism of a signature Polo highlights a bold, vibrant colour palette. The setting makes room for playful elements, with the checkerboard patterns of a knit shirt dress conspiring with the ivory allure of a Cuban shirt. High-top sneakers display a grounded hint of practicality without forsaking style. Patent leather mules enter the scene on a sophisticated note; while glitter trims, ruffle details and a daring vinyl bodysuit twist the narrative towards temerity. Exquisite satin midaxi slips introduce an air of European elegance with a nod to a more casual occasion with hoodies, padded tees, and a plush teddy coat. Pairing effortless street style with an unabashedly outgoing guest, this video is a harmonious mélange of eclectic trends making a dash down the audio-runway.
