From Riharajuku in Japan to K-POP in Korea, anything new, we will get it in the first place, and even imitate it. But today, chola/'tʃolə/Style, a street fashion from Mexico that became popular years ago, doesn't seem to have acquired the same status.
The world's best fit for Chola Style FKA Twigs
「 Chola Style 」
What is Chola Style? In fact, this cultural style that was popular in Mexico in the 90s is not a positive word.
In addition to the style of dressing that is deeply influenced by Hip-Pop, makeup seems to be a very important point of Chola Style. Such as accessories pasted on the face, slender eyebrows... Such an exaggerated dressing at that time, can be regarded as a marginal culture. If you're not cool enough, or not a "bad girl" enough, you really can't control it.
Selena Gomez
However, it is often such a controversial style that will attract more artists to start following suit. For example, Gwen Stefani, the american singer who most admired Chola Style in the early days. Although all her looks are more or less influenced by Chola Style, her favorite thing is to paste things on her face.
In addition to Stefani, there is Also Rihanna. The Halloween look in 2013 is another typical Chola Style Look. There are "tears", there are slender eyebrows, and another important point of Chola Style is pointed out - the broken hair deliberately displayed on the forehead, Chola bangs.
When Ri Ri filmed the inner pages of her last album, "Anti", she also referred to Chola Style's makeup style.
In fact, it is not difficult to find that although Chola Style has been changed by different people, some of the essence points are always there. In this way, all artists, or designers who like Chola Style, have found a balance to innovate.
Not only that, but a while ago, even Kanye's Qianjin Little Northwest North West was on the magazine cover in the style of Chola Style.
At the london fashion week that just ended, Burberry led by Tisci once again caused a lot of discussion in the industry. Attracting everyone's attention, in addition to the new series that are quite young, Chola Style's full makeup is definitely the most prominent Tisci this time, and even steals the limelight of ready-to-wear.
The curls of hair on her forehead and the hair that looks like it's coated with 100 layers of wax exaggerate Chola Style's classic style.
Riccardo Tisci really loves this style. Back in the Givenchy era, Tisci hyped up the Chola Style at the Fall/Winter 2015 Ready-to-Wear Show. On that show, in addition to the hair on his forehead, another symbol of Chola Style was also revealed, that is, diamonds and pearls attached to the face.
The Tisci of givenchy was much more frantic than it is now. At the time, Givenchy's series was completely inseparable from Chola Style. Makeup and ready-to-wear are complementary.
「 Chola Style and FKA Twigs 」
It is not Rihanna, nor Riccardo Tisci, but FKA Twigs who really has an indissoluble relationship with Chola Style and really brings such a style to the general public.
FKA Twigs, who has been known as the Chola Style since 12 years
Whether it is the musical style (known as the divine dance style by fans) or the personal styling, FKA Twigs, which only released his debut album in 2014, once the album was released, established its niche independent but wonderful music status.
《LP1》
《M3LL155X》
Not to mention the album cover, which includes two concept works from M3LL155X and LP1. Chola Style seems to be synonymous with FKA Twigs. That's why I would say that FKA Twigs is what really makes this style famous.
FKA Twigs, who fit Chola Style so well, has also said that as an artist, as a musician, she is strange. It's like Chola Style.
Having shot ads for Apple and Nike, talked about a vigorous love affair, and had a sickness, FKA Twigs now continues to show fans the various cultural styles they love, through the electronic magazine he founded, AVANTgarden.

In its latest issue late last year, FKA Twigs also explored alien cultures created by Fecal Matter, the most popular subculture artist on the IG. At the beginning of the year, Rick Owens's runway, there were also similar alien elements

Playing with creativity, playing with culture, probably no one can compare to her now.

You say, FKA Twigs, which has been playing Chola Style for a long time, has caused a lot of people to follow the trend?
