In our epic final interview of the season, Auntie sits down in her proverbial living room with the icon, the legend, the moment, June Ambrose. From the costume designer’s groundbreaking work with musical icons like Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Busta Rhyme, and Mariah Carey, to being a key architect of some of the most unforgettable fashion moments in pop culture history, June has become a North Star for anyone dreaming of making their mark in the fashion world. The Bronx-native was not only one of the first public-facing stylists, but she moved throughout the gatekept and racially homogeneous world of fashion as a Black woman with authenticity and authority–taking up space in rooms we rarely were invited into. With her creativity, whimsy, and fearless commitment to self-expression, she’s inspired a generation of image makers, writers, and artists and proved that style isn’t about following trends but defining your narrative. In this deep, heartfelt convo, the duo unpack June’s singular approach to costume design, how she got her start in the music industry, and her enduring commitment to empowering others through fashion. June also reveals her thoughts on being called an “auntie”...! You won’t want to miss this incredible conversation–it’s a tru fashion girl’s dream!
