Award-winning musician Black Sherif has revealed the unconventional origins of his distinctive fashion style, including an incident where he faced physical punishment for experimenting with a bold hairstyle during his youth.
In an exclusive interview with international fashion magazine Patta, the “Second Sermon” hitmaker disclosed that his fashion journey began in his aunt’s closet after his mother left for Greece. “My whole style started in a woman’s closet my auntie’s. When my mom left for Greece, I stayed with my auntie, and she had all kinds of stylish stuff. I’d sneak into her things, steal belts, and glasses. That’s when I got into appearances,” he shared.
The artist recalled facing consequences for his early style experiments: “I also tried different hairstyles, like one called ‘backbone,’ and got beaten for it because it was too bold for where I was living. I’ve always been chasing freedom to dress how I want.”
Black Sherif credited his mother, a seamstress, for instilling his DIY fashion approach. “I used to sew my buttons for school. Even in high school, I’d alter my clothes because I couldn’t afford a tailor. If I didn’t like something about a shirt or a pair of sneakers, I’d cut it and make it my own,” he explained.
The interview also covered his transition into high fashion, including his runway walk for Labrum at London Fashion Week in September 2023, which he initially doubted but received strong positive reactions for.
