BET's Harlem Heights

"Harlem Heights," premiered last night on BET, the new reality show captures the "young, black and fabulous crowd" of one of New York's most infamous neighborhoods. The cast includes a lifestyle editor for the basketball publication Dime magazine, an aspiring actress, a fashionista, a young man trying his hand at a political career and even a young dad. The cast is refreshing and genuinely "real". Is there a new Renaissance going on in Harlem? I'll be keeping track of episodes but until then lets talk about their fashions. This cast of black professionals has their style on LOCK all thanks to June Amborse who is the costume designer of the series, but I'm sure the cast has a stlye of their own of camera.

Landon
"If I am dressing up I like to wear nice suits with patterned shirts and colorful ties. If am just chilling I prefer some comfortable jeans and sweater with some uptowns."

Christian
"I have a unique fashion style. I wear a lot if v-necks. LOL. Comfort is number one. You have a bit more swag when you step out comfortable. When you’re not comfortable you are worried about your clothing … Does it fit? Do I look funny? Not a good look."

Bridget
"I’d absolutely, sacrifice comfort for style. You have to look good. I only wear pointy toe stilettos, usually four-inch or higher because I’ve been told I want people to take me seriously, and that’s a power shoe ... I’m a basic, classic girl. I do suiting, but I’ll add a trendy piece. My style is a bit more grown up, since I’m going to be an attorney."

Brooke [Kanye's Ex]
"My fashion style stems mainly from my personality: 80’s and just not really focusing on trends. I do not sacrifice comfort for style, I am a flat boot girl. I think that being comfortable in your fashion choices gives you ownership over your look. I think people should stick to that and not get sucked into trends and what looks great on other people."
