Rhythm and blues (R&B) singing sensation Shae Williams has gone through a lot in her life, both personally and professionally, however, through it all she has stayed looking fabulous as ever. As an artist, Shae has captivated audiences not only with her sound, but her incredible sense of fashion.
The relationship between fashion and music of any kind is one of abundant and mutual creativity. Reciprocal influences have resulted in some of the most dynamic apparel visualizations ever created in popular culture. Some exist as memorable creations for the stage and music video, while others become long-lasting fashion trends, which settle in the culture to become noteworthy, referential, and lasting. Sometimes what a music artist wears, more than how they sound, will forever help them to make their mark in the industry.
We caught up with the stunning Shae for a quick Q&A to find out more about the fashion trends in her genre, how fashion influences her, and how she gets ready for big concert gigs…
How would you describe your own personal style?
My personal style is relaxed with a chic twist. Rocking ‘boyfriend jeans’ and a pair of sexy pumps is an everyday go-to look for me.
What fashion trends as a singer/performer do you currently see happening in the R&B world?
There are so many out there. However fabric chokers, fringe and off the shoulder tops are all HOT right now.
Why do you believe fashion and music go hand-in-hand?
Fashion and music go hand-in-hand because as an artist your style represents who you are and so does your music.
What is your process in picking out the proper clothes for a concert, red carpet, music video, etc.?
Lord have mercy on my stylist and designer! It’s definitely a process. I love to have a strong royal glamorous look! Lately my designer “J Palmer”, who is a great friend of mine, has been designing a lot of my pieces. There are nights when we are up creating looks and many of those nights I’m falling asleep on his floor. I don’t like having things you can find locally or even abroad. We spend a lot of time together and he knows me like a book! I love when it’s time for a show or video shoot! Everything stops. I’ll have a vision and J Palmer delivers! When it’s time for a red carpet, if he doesn’t design the dress we will order from a boutique. There are times when my closet is the boutique! I have so much I could probably open up one.
What are you currently working on project wise?
I’m working on my new album that’ll be released this Fall and a single that’s coming real soon.
What is your definition of “Glam”?
“Glam” sums it all up in one word!! I love being glamorous!! My definition of glam depends on the day… just being who you are. Some days may be a red carpet day and I have a full beat on my face and a full gown on and other days may be laid back and casual with little to no makeup but still fly. Glam is what makes you feel beautiful.
