Gucci’s Resort collection is characterised by relaxed, almost pyjama shapes and fabrics, yet still glimmering fabrics, as if one had come straight home from
Studio 54 and changed into an equally fabulous loungewear option. What could be more decadent than looking fabulous when nobody can see you?

For resort, Miu Miu envision a girl in bejeweled denim and blue roses. Imagine if you will a lonely country singer, teetering on her flowery heels and belting out a number about heartbreak, the stage lights glinting off her highly stacked bracelets as she dolefully waves her hands.

HARD AND FAST
gita – who bowled into her Wonderland shoot with a head of fluoro pink hair (having ditched her emphatically 90s, Lauren Hill-esque braids) – rocketed into the world of acid tinged, fringe-y US brat rap late last year with “Hood Rich”, a song so back-
straightening and punchy it makes you forget just how saturated the scene has become. Her follow-up release “Lights Out” – produced by regular right-hand man DJ Two $tacks – is a charged, quivering track with a foreboding, gargantuan bass drop, which cemented the status of the Bay Area-born beat keeper as a towering new presence.
Gita, born Gabriella Pavel, was raised in Oakland, California by parents heavily involved in the area’s underground hip-hop community. Her father managed a horde of rap-packs and soloists through the 90s, and headed up a series of industry parties with cult hip-hop collective Digital Underground. “Rappers would be at my house all the time,” she says. “From The Luniz, Yukmouth to Numskull and Dru Down. Or I would go to their house and play with their kids. He would host parties, at like fat-ass hotels and shit around the Bay. Like bootylicious bitches and shit.”
As a child, Gita’s twin brother Amallio was best friends with a San Franciscan named Natassia Gail Zolot – better known nowadays as Kreayshawn. It was only in her teens (Gita is 22 now) that the pair became friends. “I see her more as a filmmaker than anything else,” says Gita, “but she’s been super-supportive of my music. She’s so sweet – the most non-confrontational person you’ll ever meet.”
Jetting between Oakland, Miami and LA to meet beat-makers and discuss collaborations grew tiring – so Gita eventually sought satisfaction in Manhattan’s boundlessly effervescent arts community, moving to Harlem in 2009. Gita’s first gig proper was at the scene-iest of Lower East Side hotspots, vinyl spinner Venus X’s monthly club night GHE20 G0TH1K, supporting the likes of rap enigma Mykki Blanco, Three 6 Mafia founder Gangsta Boo and A$AP Mob producing force, Ferg – artists she now regularly parties with.
“I didn’t know anyone in New York when I moved there, so I hit up Venus on the internet,” she says. “‘Yo, want to come attend this night
i n t r o d u c i n g - g i t a
w o n d e r l a n d - s u m m e r 1 3

with me to go see Pusha T and Tyler, the Creator at The Bowery?’ I asked her. She was into it. We just hit it off. She was like; ‘I throw these nights, and I saw some of the stuff you do – I like you.’ So we performed, and I had this big-ass mink coat on – I swear everyone gave me tons of kisses for wearing that.”
Releasing newest single “Let That” late last year on Fool’s Gold – a Brooklyn label said to have discovered the likes of schizo lyric spitter Danny Brown, stoner rapper Kid Cudi and house pop electro-ist Duck Sauce – was one giant confidence boost for Gita. It was only after a chance encounter with co-founder Nick Catchdubs via mutual contact Two $tacks that saw the track being included on the template’s five year anniversary compilation, Loosies.
Breaks like this seem to come Gita’s way regularly. It was only in January that she jetted to London to work on a track – albeit for an undisclosed artist – with Mark Ronson. “Everyone’s been so ‘What?!’ about it, which I totally understand. I tried hitting him up [when I was in London again recently] and he was like, [puts on a salty Received Pronunciation dialect] ‘I’m going to be in Paris, so I’m not going to be here Gita’. Everyone likes to mock him.”
In between maintaining her @-tastic Twitter page (she was even seen swapping retweets with elusive New York-via-London dubhead Zomby back in February) and working on a debut EP with experimental grime producer Darq E Freaker, Gita meditates. “I don’t think people know how to use energy,” she says. “But I totally believe in energy and stuff – you can use it for good, it’s powerful. People tend to ignore it.”
Energy – and how to siphon it constructively – plays a huge part in Gita’s regular routine; it seems she’s forever darting between studios, meeting producers and talking projects and prospects. But what’s key to her music-making approach – and what has come to define a post-Twitter generation of DIY rappers – is that deals are made on her terms alone. “We link, we chill, I meet real producers who work with big people, and we do music. I take it very seriously,” she says, unflinchingly. “I don’t have people sit around and write my music for me.”

instrumentals and “Hard Way” was a hip-hop beat softened by the swoon of his voice. It went criminally unnoticed in the uK, but hopefully his new work, Kaleidoscope dream, will make a bigger dent in a 2012 climate where frank ocean’s obscuro-R&B has thrived.
Like frank, who first made a name for himself through a free mixtape, Miguel was keen to circumnavigate the norms of releasing this
time round. Certain tracks on Kaleidoscope dream were initially put out via “Art dealer Chic”, a tripartite (and freely downloadable) EP, perhaps to appeal to the influential music blogs who love a leak or a slow drip. the teased tracks drew attention to the rarity and quality of Miguel. fans on critic-infested forum I Love Music went wild; many of them claiming that lead track, “Adorn”, was the song of the year.
Alongside frankie o and the Weeknd, Miguel is one of R&B’s biggest game-changers; all of them switching up the genre, harnessing their love, fear, doubt, horniness and loneliness in a clever, cool new manner, albeit with soul. “You can hear it the moment you hear the voice. there’s a soul, there’s feeling behind it. It’s progressive, it’s not the same sound, not the same topics, not written from the same perspective. People lost sight of the individuality and R&B became so urban,” he says, suggesting that machismo meant male
When Miguel opened for usher at his recent London show, it was by no means incidental. the R&B legend is the young gun’s mentor, the two of them brought together by music exec – and one-time notorious B.I.G. manager
– Mark Pitts. “Mark was very keen that we become as close creatively as possible,” says Miguel in his LA drawl. “He wanted to put me in with usher so he could show me the ropes and give me advice. I was a nobody kid. usher just trusted Mark, plus he’d already heard some of my music and was a fan.”
So Miguel ended up co-writing three songs on usher’s 2010 album Raymond Vs Raymond and supported him on the uS-wide oMG tour. Miguel’s contributions to the album were far removed from the will.i.am-produced anthem that gave the tour its name: “oMG” might have been the danced-up, dumbed-down hit that sold the album, but it was tracks like the spacey, sexual opener “Monstar”, the sparse, slo-mo “Mars Vs. Venus” and the Cali-funk “Pro Lover” that made the record so good when you got it.
Miguel’s earlier solo 2010 album All I Want Is You was chock-full of the same such eargasmic R&B. “Sure thing” had an old-school fuzz and feel, a haunting choral harmony ran through “Girl With the tattoo”, “Quickie” was a cocky call for a swift shag over clashing
Haunting, sparse, sexy and soulful, the sounds of transcendental Californian crooner Miguel are giving contemporary R&B the kick in the backside it’s been waiting for. Here, he explains how his new record Kaleidoscope Dream is this winter’s warming, musical nightcap.

“I think the great part about R&B now is that individuality
is starting to be celebrated again.
Artists are tired of the bullshit and the same regurgitated,
soulless stuff.”
