Sequined Pants

The cool thing about sequins, in addition to the obvious, is that they can jazz up classic shapes like a blazer or trouser. Sequins are such a fun way to add sparkle, personality, and joy to a look. Sequins say, “I’m here, the party can now begin”. I wore my gold sequined Norma Kamali pants to a recent DJ gig at the Empire Hotel. When I DJ I must be comfortable, and it’s equally important to me that I look the part as well. Who wants to look at a boring, shlumpy DJ? Dancing, crowd engagement, and bringing energy to the space are crucial components to my performance. It’s never just about the music, it’s how it’s delivered. The Empire Rooftop is in a beautiful, classic New York location, directly across from iconic Lincoln Center. This was the hotel where Gossip Girl was mostly filmed! A classic button down in black rounded out the pants that night. See? Even more toned down, conservative dressers can make sequins work for them. One shiny piece is the statement. And since I’m DJing in a mask these days, I pop my eye makeup with lots of shimmer as well. Fun touches, textures, and details communicate a certain energy that’s contagious.
