Awkwafina

Asian - American Rapper - Actress

Chinese-Korean-American Nora Lum – also known by her stage name, Awkwafina. A born and bred New Yorker, tell-it-like-it-is chick with a witty persona that is breaking down barriers in the rap game and Hollywood. Awkwafina first came to light in 2012, after debuting her self-produced rap track titled “My Vag.” In 2016, she then won a Webby Award for “Tawk” – a no holds barred, late-night talk show she hosts on Verizon’s Go90 free streaming service. Raised by a single dad who doubted her aspirations and urged her to pick a safer route, there was no stopping on Awkwafina’s agenda. Awkwafina was supported by her grandmother, whose personality was more conservative but cheered her on otherwise. From 2006 to 2008, Awkwafina attended the Beijing Language and Culture University in Beijing, China. She then attended the State Univeristy of New York at Albany (SUNY) where she focused on journalism and women’s studies.

Where has she been? Featured in new Gap Logo Remix Commercial Has a self created short web series "Tawk" Awkwafina was added to the cast of the third season of Girl Code She also was co-host of the weekly late-night talk show Girl Code Live She played a supporting role in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising Starred in the indie comedy Dude She also appeared in the 2016 animated comedy Storks She is part of the principal cast in the all-female spinoff to the Ocean's Trilogy, Ocean's 8 She is part of the cast of Warner Bros. film Crazy Rich Asians She has a recurring role in the Hulu original series Future Man

“I want to show young Asian-American girls that it’s ok to be ‘embarrassing, loud, rocket’! I’m just helping people come out of their shell that they are already born in to. Entertainment is not an option for a lot of Asians. You don’t see many of us, you don’t even think it’s an option. I think every Asian entertainer is a role model at some point; even if they’re terrible. There’s power in numbers.”

THE FUTURE OF FASHION WITH SCAD STUDENTS

Recent seasons of fashion runway shows have presented viewers and consumers with an uncertainty in direction and have left them wondering and questioning what will be next for the fashion industry?

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF FASHION?

What better place to learn about opinions on

the fashion industry than a globally top-ranked fashion school? The Savannah College of Art & Design is home to more than just fashion majors, but fashion is obviously a big part of the college’s persona. In our survey, we sent out questionnare’s to students and received back answers from advertising, fibers, photography, fine arts and fashion marketing majors.

Picking only eight to feature, at random, we

found that no two answers were alike. The personality of each student really came through with each question they answered. Beginning with obvious favorites surrounding personal style, preference and hobbies. The questions then turned into an array of current fashion news chat. Asking specifically what one dislikes about fashion, who the big names are currently in the industry and where will the road of the future take fashion. The responses were strong-willed, and exactly what you would expect from the next wave of witty, sincere and well-prepared college graduate millennials.

Cutting down to the chase. Where does the

future of fashion take us? You don’t have to be Anna Wintour or the President of Nordstrom to know the answer to that question. Like we learned from this questionnare with SCAD students, it is about your personal level of compassion towards society and the environment, and your willingness to keep up with the news of the world. Each answer was different, but all rooted from core values that

To find out what people’s thoughts are on the changing industry and the future of fashion, the editor’s at Dazed went to the student body of the Savannah College of Art & Design to learn their perception on the whole situation.

“ According to Kayne - holes on tights. According to me tech in fabrics. ” - @bengois

each individual has learned from their experience or interest in the industry and also just from an everday consumer’s standpoint. The conversation is an interesting one, there is so much uncertainty in what will be the next step, the next move, the next big development for fashion. But our best guesses are the only answers we have for now. Toying with the idea of tech integration with fabrics, has been a much talked about and very popular idea. While the actual technologies still are under development, the idea is not farfetched at all. With the rise of sustainable products and eco-friendly manufacturing practices, this response to the question was said more than once and has been a hot topic for recent fashion publications and designers.
