Next To The Floor : Adetayo Fajemison

As the creator and editor of LateBoots.com I love new, fresh, young, and talented individuals. As I climb the latter to the height of my career, I would like for others to join me as well, which brings me to Adetayo Fajemison. Known as Tayo, he is definitely a beacon of hope for the fashion industry. After being selected by EXPRESS clothing company as a style guru, he was flown to New York where he conducted his very own personal photo shoot with professional models and designer clothing.

Fajemison started out as a runway model for Project X Fashion Show Production & Modeling Agency and shortly after that he was elected onto the executive board as model trainer and assistant director. He soon blossomed into a creative force that molded with all the other great minds that made Project X what it is today. With his avant- garde style and image (that of an Alexander McQueen) definitely gives him an edge and spark that I know will lead him to higher heights in the industry. Adetayo Fajemison.. A true star of tommorrow.

When asked, this is what Tayo had to say, "I have had the opportunity to produce/direct, train models/ model, style, and choreograph over 10 fashion shows on campus and throughout the Atlanta area. I have also had the pleasure of working on various projects including; TVOne: Bill Bellamy’s “Who Go Jokes”, Paula Campbell music video “Ain’t Nobody Stupid”, Playaz Circle music video featuring Lil Wayne “Duffle Bag Boys, and in addition I was a dresser for Versace Spring Fashion Show. I believe that fashion is not about what you wear, but how you wear it. It’s more than putting together outfits creating different looks, but a form of expression of one’s identity, creating a new outer layer of skin. I am an exhibitionist of fashion; I live it, I breathe it, I express it."-Tayo

She likes BKC. I like Epiphany.

I think it's very important to surround yourself with a positive team of people. Fresh ideas are always grown. It's such an organic feeling when you've found your inner circle. Who do you influence?

She likes BBC. I like Lanvin.

We're back at it again. Another year a harder hustle. 2 different coast. New York-our future home. Atlanta-our playground. Sham & I work together because we are so different. She's has the swagg and I have the in your face attitude. It's the perfect mix. She's simple. Im complex. We never try too hard. All this comes natural.

She likes Pharrell. I like Kanye.

Sham & I met almost 2 years ago. From that moment I knew we would be partners in this game. I remember our first meeting, it was at a photoshoot for LateBoots. I walked in the room and said "hi Sham it's nice to finally meet you", then we just went to work. It was so natural.

She's Edie. Im Andy.

Since we are a duo so many people say we remind them of Edie Sedgwick & Andy Warhol. She's the girl everybody likes. Im the guy that everybody loves to hate. Im cocky, arrogant, an asshole at times yet she is the georgia peach. She really isn't. I just get blamed for everything because Im the obvious bad guy. She is worse than me.

She's Brooklyn. Im Harlem.

Summer '08 we both interned in New York. She did Complex and I was at GIANT Magazine. I stayed in Harlem and she was in Brooklyn. She hated coming to Harlem and I hated going all the way out to BK. For our move to NYC we're gonna share an apartment, we're tossing a coin to determine where we'll stay.

She likes Michael. I like Prince.

We always argue who's the best performer out of the two. I believe Prince was for obvious reasons. He had swagg, what man do you know can get away with wearing heels and make-up? If you ask me Michael did all of that work to his face so he could look like Prince.

She likes Nike. I like YSL.

I once tried to buy a pair of Nike sneakers but they were to boyish for me. Trade is what you call it. Nike called up Sham and she went to New York to make her very own sneaker. It was dope. I would wear it. But instead I purchased some YSL sneakers. I like YSL.

She likes Marc Jacobs. I like Genevieve Jones.

I first saw Jones on style.com, I was like who is this skinny black girl tipping around New York. She's so chic. When Sham & I were in New York this past summer she actually met Jones at an event. I was sick because I should've been the one in the picture.
