Dominic Lord Attends The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Dinner In Manhattan

Alejandro Ingelmo and Dominic Lord

Rising Harlem rapper and IMG Models client Dominic Lord hit up the 10th annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Dinner at Manhattan’s Spring Studios.

The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund raises money to fund significant awards to designers and provides mentoring.

For the upscale fashion event, Dom styled in an all-black ensemble. He was photo’d with Alejandro Ingelmo and Alexander Wang. I admire Dom’s style. He’s very fashionable. Just like Diggy Simmons, I think Dom can make more money on his brand extension than music. He is snatching the cover of magazines left-to-right. Dom was featured in the November issue of Vogue with designer Tim Coppens, a finalist in the 2013 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

Dominic Lord’s LA Canvas Full Spread: “Not At All What You’d Expect From A 19-Year-Old From Harlem”

Yesterday, Wednesday (September 4), I posted Dominic Lord’s official LA Canvas magazine cover. See the original post here. The LA-based publication officially released its September/October 2013 “Fashion Issue” digitally and Dom has a four-page spread. He was shot by Conan Thai and styled by Adrian Manuel. Click here to read Dom’s feature. 

“This kid is gonna pop, he’s well-dressed and very talented. His image says a lot and he’s very marketable,” said Don Bleek. Before going solo and linking up with industry music manager Steven Victor (he also manages rapper Pusha T), Dom was an early member of Harlem’s A$AP Mob. Last year, the rapper, songwriter, producer and designer released his Fashion Show EP which was co-produced by Madd Matt, Hudson Mohawke, The Neptune’s Chad Hugo and Rico Beats. The project contains Dom rapping/singing over off-tempo, up-tempo, and screwed up beats and he released some visuals in support of the EP. The visuals feature exquisite editing, cinematography, and production of a couture fashion short.

Dom is “Not At All What You’d Expect From A 19-Year-Old From Harlem.” A few months ago, famed fashion designer Riccardo Tisci flew him out to sit front row at the SS13 Givenchy Show during Paris Fashion Week and in June, Anna Wintour’s Vogue premiered his track “Overworld“

This kid is gonna pop! Stay tuned and see what Dom has to offer in the near future.
