CL Loves To Work With Rising Artists In Both Music And Fashion—Here’s Why
Ever since her debut with 2NE1, and subsequent solo comeback in 2019, CL has been almost exclusively working with up-and-coming rising artists. Be it fashion or music, she’s been working with a lot of new talent, and she shared the personal reasons behind her decisions!
CL recently shot a pictorial with hypebae magazine, and also sat down for an interview with them!
In the interview, she talked about how she contacted up-and-coming hip hop artists Lil Cherry, Omega Sapien, and sokodomo for a remix version of her solo comeback song “Spicy”…
…and also showed off an all-denim look from a UK-based rising fashion designer named Masha Popova in a recent video with Vogue!
CL revealed that she loved working with burgeoning artists because they tend to remind her of herself, and now that she’s in a position to give back, works with them to aid and empower them in their own careers!
It’s because I feel like those people are me when I was younger. If I see my younger self in someone, I’ll feel a connection with them and I’d want to build something with them.
I’m a fan of wearing new designers and graduation pieces, and I love listening to new music all the time. I’ve done that my entire life and that’s never changed.
But now, I have the opportunity to give back, and collaborate with and empower those artists.
