In today’s episode, we're talking to the fashion forward duo, RaeCola. Born and raised in the home of house music, Chicago, this DJ pair shared their journey into the music scene, from childhood clarinet to being on the road. RaeCola gave their thoughts on the energy exchange we experience at intimate shows and a look into their creative process. Like all of us, they faced the fears of being new at something. We discussed how to push past your own insecurities in order to create.
I had to ask how they chose their iconic outfits for each show. They shared their fashion influences and how they fully conceptualize their surroundings to pick the perfect fit. Whether it be the 50th anniversary of hip hop, their current city, or Fashion Week, RaeCola finds creative ways to incorporate their influences into their wear.
We spoke about how they connected instantly to the energy of Dirty Bird festivals. The events' priority of self-expression resonated with RaeCola, who wanted to find a part of the electronic music scene that could feel creative and be a conduit for connecting with others.
