I helped make this video with Josh and Vince for Vogue to play during Anna Wintour's speech at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Fashion Icon Awards!

Fashion types really love the word muse. It must be written somewhere that any serious designer must have one of them, but more often than not, a “muse” is a woman who simply calls to mind a designer’s preexisting aesthetic.
Enter Rihanna. Through her individualistic, audacious, and occasionally brazen dressing decisions, she has become the rare celebrity who does not follow fashion—she affects it. “The Rihanna Effect” was how Vogue’s March cover story described the 26-year-old’s gravitational pull on the international designer community, which has greatly benefited from the jolt of her youthful rebellion.
It was fitting, then, that when Anna Wintour took that stage at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall to present Rihanna with the 2014 CFDA Fashion Icon Award earlier this evening, she did so following the imagined text message exchange above.
