What happens when fashion meets free jazz and Afrofuturism? For House of Aama, the answer is a moody, retro take on vibrant prints, patterns, and textures.

Mother-daughter design duo Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka brought that vision to The Bomb Fashion Show’s Los Angeles debut at the Nya West in Hollywood for the Cadillac-sponsored event. Curated from their Sun Records collection, the presentation featured a fresh pairing of looks inspired by music’s exploration of Black identity with the auto brand’s future-forward electric offerings. 

Their marquee look featured a flowing blue pleated sundress with a vibrant sunray print that played off the vehicle’s deep red finish. Another look featured a burgundy knit vest layered over a magenta blouse and wide-leg denim pants for the ultimate lesson in preppy color. 

“You can’t have anything that’s modern without something from the past and something that’s rooted in history and culture,” said Henry of the look. “So having references to being nostalgic, sentimental, but for the modern day and projecting into the future[…] that’s House of Aama.”

Bach Mai is known for adding drama to his designs, and his presentation at The Bomb Fashion Show’s Los Angeles debut was no exception. There were sweeping folds, sculpted waists, and enough volume for the slay the runway or a red carpet.

Instead of a celeb fashionista, the Houston-native found his muse in Cadillac’s LYRIQ. Models moved in formation throughout a collection of the brand’s all-electric cars, beautifully staged at Nya West in Hollywood.  

His marquee look featured a voluminous cobalt-blue gown paired with a structured bomber jacket. The rich blue was especially striking against the car’s Opulent Blue colorway, with the jacket serving up just the right amount of edge and attitude.

Another look featured a metallic silver skirt ballooning beneath a fitted black bodice, with its exaggerated shape adding a touch of space-age glamour.

Mai saw a natural connection between his work and Cadillac’s place in American luxury.

“I love that Bach Mai and Cadillac both speak the language and that’s one of American glamour,” said Mai. “I think Cadillac really just defines American luxury and that’s what I hope my brand will do one day as well.”

That connection was evident throughout the collection. Mai drew on classic eveningwear, playing with proportions and architectural shapes to create looks that felt right at home alongside Cadillac’s sleek designs.

Fashion Bomb Daily was on the scene at the Culture Coldest Icon Awards in Atlanta, an evening dedicated to honoring the icons shaping culture. Founded by marketing professional and PMM Agency founder Kim Blackwell, the awards celebrate trailblazers across fashion, music, sports, and entertainment whose influence extends far beyond their industries, recognizing the people who set trends, open doors, and inspire the next generation.

Hosted by Marsai Martin, the evening featured speeches and honorees like Minyon Moore, Andrew Young, and Taylor Townsend.

Former President Bill Clinton even came through to present former senior White Hour Advisor Minyon Moore with her Icon Award.

True to its name, the event came with a dress code that encouraged guests to bring their coldest style, turning the evening into a showcase of personal expression and fashion as culture.

Throughout the evening, guests and honorees shared what they love most about Kim and the community she has built around celebrating style and impact.

Icon Award recipient Taylor Townsend, the Grand Slam doubles champion, spoke with Fashion Bomb Daily about how she expresses herself through fashion on the tennis court. “I’m former number 1 in the world, number 2 in doubles, a top 100 player, and I still don’t have a clothing sponsor,” she shared. Her solution? Create her own clothing line and sponsor herself.

Guests also brought the style. We asked attendees to show off their coldest accessories, and Atlanta delivered, from Chanel chain belts to gorgeous smiles.

Fashion Bomb Daily Founder and CEO Claire Sulmers embraced the dress code in an ice queen-inspired gown from Akira, paired with Kandee’s Shoes heels and a clutch from TSMGO Fashion Rental.

This was only day one! Stay tuned for more moments from the Culture’s Coldest!

If there’s one thing Houston-native Bach Mai knows, it’s how to bring the drama to couture. Just ask some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Mai has dressed an enviable who’s who list of celebrities who aren’t afraid to take up space, including Jennifer Lopez, Megan Thee Stallion, Lucy Liu, and Amal Clooney. 

[SEE ALSO: How House of Aama Is Weaving Black History Into Modern Luxury]

Mai started dressmaking as a teen, eventually securing an apprenticeship with the Houston Ballet, and went on to work for such brands as Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, and under legendary designer John Galliano at Maison Margiela. 

In 2021, he launched his own namesake label paying homage to his Vietnamese roots and earning renown for avant garde looks marrying old-school couture and modern femininity. Since then, his work has been featured in Vogue and WWD, as well as on the runways of New York Fashion Week. 

So, of course, we’re thrilled to have the designer bring all of his fashion drama to “The Bomb Fashion Show LA,” presented by Cadillac, on October 14.

Before the show, we caught up with Mai to talk about his creative influences, what American luxury means to him, and how he’s translating Cadillac’s design legacy into a fashionable moment.

FASHION BOMB DAILY: How would you describe your design aesthetic? 
BACH MAI: My work lives at the intersection of three pillars of inspiration: mid-century couture, Americana, and the Asian cultural influences I grew up with. I’ve always been enchanted by the golden age of couture: Dior, Balenciaga, Charles James, and the way they sculpted a woman’s silhouette with such romance and intention. I pair that with the heritage of American sportswear, real clothes for real women living real lives, all seen through the glamour and elegance I came to know growing up in Texas. The result is effusively feminine, a little audacious, and always joyful. I design for a woman who dresses for her own pleasure, who wants to stand out in the room, and who believes fashion should be fun. 

FBD: What makes your work distinctly “you”?
BACH MAI: What makes it distinctly mine is that it’s rooted in couture technique, but never precious. It’s meant to be lived in, danced in, and remembered.

FBD: What excites you most about interpreting a luxury vehicle through your own creative lens?
BACH MAI: Cadillac is a true American icon, and there’s a beautiful kinship between its world and mine. Some of the most glamorous moments in American design history belong to Cadillac, in the same mid-century era that inspires so much of my work. What excited me most was finding the conversation between the two: the sweep of a fender and the sweep of a skirt, the precision of an engineered line and the precision of a tailored seam.

In curating these four looks, I was drawn to the idea of motion, of a woman arriving, and of the confidence you feel stepping out of something beautifully made. The Multiline points toward the future, and I love the idea of honoring that heritage of American glamour while imagining where it goes next.

FBD: How do you define luxury, and what role do craftsmanship, materials and detail play in that definition?
BACH MAI: For me, luxury is the feeling of something made with devotion. It’s the hours you can’t see: the hand finishing, the fittings, the hundred small decisions that make a garment feel effortless when it’s worn. I was fortunate to learn in the haute couture ateliers in Paris, and that experience taught me a deep reverence for craft.

Materials are where every piece begins. I’m drawn to beautiful, artisanal textiles that have a life and a story of their own. Detail is what makes a piece personal, and it’s why so much of what we do is made to order. True luxury isn’t about excess. It’s about intention, and about the joy a woman feels when she knows something was made just for her.

For Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka, fashion is a family affair. The mother-daughter duo first launched their fashion brand, House of Aama, as a small upcycling project in 2013. It has since grown into a luxury fashion house showcasing the beauty of Black history and ancestral storytelling.

Their multigenerational creations weave rich colors, expressive prints, and silhouettes into a palette of statement pieces-turned-wearable art. Their collections evoke their family’s Southern and Caribbean roots with such names as Bloodroot, Salt Water, and Folk Grounds. It’s no wonder their unique perspectives are frequently spotted on red carpets worn by such celebs as Gabrielle Union, Ayan Broomfield, and Sarah Jeffrey and graced the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, and more. 

Now, House of Aama is bringing that storytelling to The Bomb Fashion Show LA on October 14, presented by Cadillac. 

Before the show, we caught up with the duo to talk about their creative process, the stories behind their designs and what guests can expect from their upcoming presentation.

FASHION BOMB DAILY: How would you describe your design aesthetic? 
HOUSE OF AAMA: House of Aama’s aesthetic is rooted in folklore, familial memory, and Black cultural traditions, particularly those of the American South and the Caribbean. We begin with research: family photographs, oral histories, music, and archival materials and translate those discoveries into silhouette, print, and texture. As a mother-daughter design practice, our work also holds a conversation between generations. 

What makes it distinctly ours is that relationship between personal history and imagination: the garments carry stories, but they are made to become part of someone else’s life.

FBD: How do you define luxury? What role do craftsmanship, materials and detail play in that definition?
HOUSE OF AAMA: For us, luxury is care made tangible. It lives in the quality of a material, the thought behind a silhouette, and the attention given to how something is constructed and feels on the body. Craftsmanship gives our stories a physical form, so every choice from fabric to finishing helps communicate what we value. We also think about luxury through the things our families have kept and passed down. An object becomes precious through both its making and its use, gathering meaning over time.

FBD: What excites you most about interpreting a luxury vehicle through your own creative lens?
HOUSE OF AAMA: We’re interested in how two different expressions of American luxury can come into conversation. Cadillac has a strong presence in cultural memory, particularly through music and film, and those are also sources we return to in our work.

The VISTIQ in Radiant Red gives us an opportunity to explore color, proportion, and presence through pieces from our collections. We’re thinking about how the garments and The VISTIQ can complement one another while each retaining a distinct identity.

FBD: Without giving too much away, what can guests expect from your collection? What details should they look for when seeing the looks for the first time?
HOUSE OF AAMA: We’re bringing together a selection of House of Aama pieces with saturated color, expressive prints, and contrasting textures. Guests will see fluid silhouettes alongside knitwear, with rich blues in conversation with warmer reds and golds. Look closely at how the artwork translates across different materials, and how the fabrics catch the light and move with the body. Music and cultural memory are recurring threads in our work, and this presentation offers another way to experience those stories.

Sometimes, the most powerful fashion statements are the ones that don’t have to shout. For Los Angeles-based designer Vivian Chan, it’s all about the details. Think clean lines, sculptural silhouettes and perfectly placed touches that make a look feel effortlessly put together. Her namesake label, VIVIANCHAN, has become a favorite among women who appreciate understated elegance with a little edge, including Michelle Yeoh, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, and Kendall Jenner.

[SEE ALSO: How Bach Mai Is Redefining American Glamour]

But Chan’s love affair with fashion started long before the celebrity fittings and red carpets. Born in Taiwan to a Taiwanese mother and Hong Kong-born father, she immigrated to Los Angeles with her family at age six. Some of her earliest memories are of watching her mother run a clothing boutique, where she learned how the right outfit could transform the way a woman feels. That early exposure eventually became the foundation for her own label, launched in 2013, where femininity and individuality remain at the heart of every collection.

Now, Chan is bringing her minimalist-meets-modern aesthetic to The Bomb Fashion Show LA on October 14, presented by Cadillac. Before the show, we caught up with the designer to talk about her creative process, the beauty of understated luxury and why the smallest details often make the biggest impact.

FASHION BOMB DAILY: How would you describe your design aesthetic? 
VIVIAN CHAN: My design aesthetic is modern and minimal, with a focus on strong silhouettes, clean lines, and thoughtful details. I’m drawn to the balance between structure and softness, creating pieces that feel distinctive without being overdone.

I pay close attention to proportion, fit, and construction because even the smallest adjustments can completely change how a garment looks and feels. I want my designs to make an impact while allowing the woman wearing them to remain the focus.

FBD: What excites you most about interpreting a luxury vehicle through your own creative lens?
VIVIAN CHAN: Fashion and automotive design share many of the same principles, from proportion and form to materials and function. I find it exciting to explore how those ideas translate across different creative disciplines.

What drew me to the Cadillac OPTIQ was its combination of sculptural lines, modern design, and bold color. I wanted to take those elements and interpret them through my own design perspective, creating something that feels connected to the vehicle while remaining true to my aesthetic.

FBD: How do you define luxury, and what role do craftsmanship, materials and detail play in that definition?
VIVIAN CHAN: To me, luxury is about intention. It’s the thought and care behind every decision, from the selection of materials to the way something is constructed and finished.

I believe true luxury is often found in the details that aren’t immediately noticeable. The way something fits, feels, and moves can make all the difference. It’s about creating a piece that feels just as special in its function as it does in its presentation.

FBD: Without giving too much away, what can guests expect from your collection? What details should they look for when seeing the looks for the first time?
VIVIAN CHAN: Guests can expect four looks inspired by the Cadillac OPTIQ in Monarch Orange, exploring different tones, textures, and silhouettes.

Rather than interpreting the vehicle too literally, I wanted to use variations in color and fabric to bring depth and dimension to the collection. Each look has its own identity while contributing to the overall presentation.

I’d encourage guests to look at how the materials interact with light, the contrast between textures, and the subtle construction details that make each piece unique.

Fashion meets heritage with a colorful new collaboration between iconic textile house Vlisco and celebrated Nigerian designer Lisa Folawiyo.

For generations, Vlisco’s vibrant prints have been synonymous with celebrations, cultural expression, and statement-making style. Now, the heritage textile brand is giving its signature fabrics a contemporary refresh with Vlisco VIBE, a new collection designed to bring bold prints beyond special occasions and into everyday wardrobes.

Launching October 13, 2026, the collection marks an exciting new chapter for the 180-year-old company, which has enlisted Nigerian fashion designer Lisa Folawiyo to demonstrate just how versatile its fabrics can be.

Known for her distinctive approach to African prints, unexpected color combinations, and modern silhouettes, Folawiyo has created an exclusive five-piece capsule collection that embodies the spirit of Vlisco VIBE.

And if the campaign imagery is any indication, the results are nothing short of fabulous.

A Colorful New Approach to Everyday Dressing

The campaign is a visual feast of electric blues, vibrant pinks, citrus yellows, and graphic patterns, photographed against architectural backdrops that are equally bold.

One standout ensemble features a cropped, long-sleeved blue printed blouse paired with a multicolored skirt featuring contrasting orange, green, and geometric motifs. The combination feels youthful, playful, and unapologetically fashion-forward.

Elsewhere, a sleeveless printed ensemble in shades of pink, turquoise, and navy offers a relaxed yet polished approach to coordinated dressing.

Another striking look pairs a flowing printed top with wide-leg trousers in a lively yellow and burgundy palette, proving that statement prints can be just as effortless as wardrobe neutrals.

The beauty of the collection lies in its styling possibilities. These are pieces that can be dressed up with heels and statement jewelry or paired with flats for a more relaxed daytime look.

Rather than reserving bold African-inspired textiles for weddings, parties, or milestone celebrations, Vlisco VIBE encourages fashion lovers to incorporate them into their daily rotation.

Lisa Folawiyo Brings Her Signature Vision

Folawiyo is an inspired choice for the collaboration.

The Nigerian designer has built a recognizable aesthetic around the art of transforming printed textiles into contemporary fashion. Her designs frequently juxtapose unexpected patterns, colors, and silhouettes, creating looks that feel distinctly modern while celebrating African craftsmanship.

For Vlisco VIBE, she brings that same sensibility to five exclusive designs that demonstrate the versatility of the new fabrics.

What makes the collaboration particularly interesting is that customers won’t simply be admiring the designer’s creations from afar.

Vlisco will offer sewing patterns for each of Folawiyo’s five designs alongside the fabrics, allowing customers to recreate the looks, personalize them, and collaborate with their own tailors.

It’s a thoughtful approach that recognizes the longstanding tradition of transforming fabric into one-of-a-kind garments, while introducing that creative process to a new generation of fashion enthusiasts.

Heritage Meets Modern Luxury

Founded in 1846, Vlisco has a rich history rooted in textile innovation and cultural exchange between the Netherlands and Africa.

Its distinctive prints have become particularly meaningful across West and Central Africa, where generations of women have embraced the fabrics as expressions of personal style, cultural identity, and community.

With Vlisco VIBE, the company is building upon that legacy while responding to the needs of the contemporary consumer.

The inaugural collection introduces four new print designs in 18 colorways, crafted from fine cotton satin for a lightweight feel, breathable comfort, and fluid drape.

Available in two- and four-yard lengths, the fabrics are intended to accommodate everything from coordinated separates to relaxed silhouettes.

The collection also introduces a more accessible price positioning, opening the door for more customers to experience Vlisco’s distinctive designs.

As Vlisco Creative Director Marlou van Engelen explains, the brand’s latest chapter is about bringing its longstanding commitment to creativity into everyday life.

“With Vlisco VIBE, we’re bringing that same creative spirit into everyday moments,” she says.

The philosophy feels especially relevant at a time when personal style is increasingly about individuality rather than rigid fashion rules.

Why save your most beautiful prints for a special occasion when getting dressed can be a celebration in itself?

The Fashion Bomb Verdict

At Fashion Bomb Daily, we’re always excited to see collaborations that celebrate African design while making fashion feel fresh, wearable, and accessible.

What stands out about Vlisco VIBE is its ability to honor the history of printed textiles without confining them to tradition.

Folawiyo’s capsule demonstrates that vibrant patterns can be sophisticated, playful, professional, and effortlessly chic—all depending on how they’re styled.

From colorful coordinated sets to statement-making separates, the collection makes a compelling case for embracing more color in our everyday wardrobes.

And with customers encouraged to reinterpret the designs through their own tailoring choices, Vlisco VIBE is ultimately a celebration of individuality.

Vlisco VIBE launched October 13, 2026, and is available online and at Vlisco retail stores.

There’s something magical about a beautifully captured fashion moment. The perfect lighting, an unexpected movement, a dramatic soundtrack, and suddenly, what could have been a fleeting celebrity sighting becomes a cinematic masterpiece. It’s the kind of content that makes you stop scrolling, watch twice, and wonder: Who shot that?

Enter Mohamed Zalloufi, professionally known as Mohtohsoh, the Paris-born photographer and videographer whose captivating Fashion Week coverage has been making waves on social media.

From cinematic moments featuring Zendaya and her longtime stylist Law Roach to footage of Porsha Williams and other fashionable faces, Mohtohsoh has developed an eye for transforming celebrity appearances into visual storytelling.

His recent Paris Fashion Week coverage was among Fashion Bomb Daily’s highest-performing Instagram content, prompting us to learn more about the creative talent behind the camera.

But as it turns out, there’s much more to Mohtohsoh than his viral fashion videos.

From Michael Jackson Music Videos to Fashion Week

Born in Paris and raised between France and Morocco, Zalloufi credits his multicultural upbringing with shaping his artistic perspective. Although he currently resides in Toronto, his career regularly takes him between Toronto, Paris, and New York.

His fascination with visual storytelling began long before he ever attended a fashion show.

“My love for visuals started when I was around 10 years old,” he recalls.

After Michael Jackson’s passing in 2009, a young Zalloufi began immersing himself in the King of Pop’s iconic music videos. His curiosity soon expanded to Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and the visual album era, when artists increasingly used elaborate imagery to create immersive worlds around their music.

He was fascinated by the relationship between music, fashion, and popular culture, and how a few minutes of video could leave a lasting impression.

In 2017, he began producing French-language YouTube videos about music and pop culture. Two years later, he purchased his first professional camera, a Sony A7 III, and officially began offering videography services.

Without a traditional introduction to the fashion industry, he started experimenting with concept videos alongside friends in Paris, drawing inspiration from innovative creators like Cole Walliser, known for his glamorous slow-motion Glambot videos.

Those early experiments helped him develop his visual language while building a portfolio that could attract clients.

In 2022, he made a pivotal decision: attend New York Fashion Week and focus on fashion video coverage.

It was a leap of faith that would eventually change his career.

Building a Career, One Fashion Moment at a Time

While social media audiences may be discovering Mohtohsoh through his recent Fashion Week footage, his résumé includes an impressive roster of entertainment personalities, luxury brands, and publications.

One of his earliest breakthroughs came in 2019, when he created a speculative advertisement for French department store Galeries Lafayette. The project attracted attention from both the retailer and Chanel France, providing encouragement at a crucial stage in his career.

That same year, through Creative Lab Agency, he worked on internal video projects for Guerlain and Christian Louboutin.

By 2023, his work had taken him into entertainment, including projects with Issa Rae during her Viarae wine press tour and coverage of French superstar Aya Nakamura’s London concert.

In 2024, he worked with Bella Thorne for Marie Claire and Nicole Ari Parker for Town & Country in collaboration with Michael Kors.

But one moment stands above the rest.

In February 2024, Beyoncé made a surprise appearance at LUAR’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway show during New York Fashion Week, sending the fashion world into a frenzy.

For Mohtohsoh, who had spent his childhood studying Beyoncé’s music videos, documenting the superstar was more than another assignment. It was the realization of a childhood dream.

“Beyoncé has been such a huge part of my visual inspiration since childhood,” he explains.

The experience was a powerful reminder that the artists who first inspired his creativity were now appearing in front of his own lens.

His career reached another milestone in 2026 when he photographed his first magazine cover, featuring R&B artist Odeal for French publication Shimmya Mag.

The assignment brought his creative journey full circle, combining his love of music with his growing expertise in photography and editorial storytelling.

More Than a Street-Style Videographer

Despite his success, Mohtohsoh is candid about the challenges of working in fashion.

One of the biggest? Being placed into a creative box.

When people see him photographing celebrities outside runway shows, they often assume he’s exclusively a street-style photographer or paparazzo.

While he respects both professions and acknowledges the opportunities street-style photography has afforded him, his ambitions extend far beyond documenting arrivals and departures.

He wants to create editorial campaigns, collaborate directly with artists, and develop more intimate visual narratives.

“Sometimes you have to find your own way into a room before you can show people what else you’re capable of,” he says.

It’s a sentiment that will resonate with many emerging creatives navigating an industry where access and relationships can be just as important as talent.

He also points to the challenge of convincing brands and public relations agencies to recognize the professional value of independent creators.

Producing exceptional content requires expensive equipment, preparation, creative expertise, and countless hours of work. Yet creators are sometimes expected to provide their services without compensation simply because an event involves a celebrity.

For Mohtohsoh, learning to advocate for himself and establish the value of his work has become an essential part of his professional growth.

The Art of Making Women Look Beautiful

Perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of Mohtohsoh’s creative philosophy is his commitment to thoughtfully representing Black women and women of color.

He explains that growing up around Black women deeply influenced his perspective and the responsibility he feels when photographing his subjects.

For him, beautiful imagery goes beyond choosing a flattering angle.

It means understanding skin tones, mastering lighting, carefully considering color grading, and ensuring that the person being photographed feels authentically represented.

“I want people to recognize themselves in my work and feel good about how they’re portrayed,” he shares.

That attention to detail is particularly significant in an industry where women of color have not always received the same consideration in photography, lighting, and visual production.

His approach is rooted in celebrating beauty while respecting the individuality of the people standing before his camera.

And perhaps that’s part of what makes his Fashion Week coverage so captivating: he isn’t simply recording an outfit. He’s thinking about the person wearing it, the cultural moment surrounding it, and the emotion the final image should communicate.

What’s Next for Mohtohsoh?

Although his work behind the camera continues to attract attention, Mohtohsoh has aspirations to eventually step in front of it.

Over the next five years, he hopes to build a career that combines interviewing, photography, entertainment, and cultural commentary.

He cites Claire Sulmers, Zane Lowe, and Nardwuar as inspirations, admiring their ability to connect with artists through thoughtful questions, cultural knowledge, and distinct personalities.

His goal is to create conversations that go beyond predictable red-carpet sound bites.

He wants celebrities and artists to feel comfortable enough to share their experiences and reveal aspects of themselves that audiences rarely see.

Ultimately, he envisions building a platform that brings together everything he loves: music, fashion, filmmaking, photography, and pop culture.

“I don’t just want to capture the culture. I want to participate in the conversations that shape it.”

Interestingly, his creative ambitions are supported by an entirely different academic background. Mohtohsoh holds a master’s degree in Finance and Accounting and has experience in marketing.

His mother encouraged his artistic pursuits, even when he chose to follow a less traditional professional path.

That combination of business knowledge and artistic passion has helped him understand both the creative and commercial sides of his industry.

His Advice for Aspiring Fashion Creatives

For anyone hoping to break into fashion photography or videography, Mohtohsoh offers refreshingly practical advice.

“Learn the Fashion Week calendar, book a flight, and go.”

He acknowledges that the first season can be intimidating, particularly when you don’t have established connections or access to coveted runway shows.

But he believes that showing up, meeting people, and consistently producing quality work can eventually open doors.

For those unable to travel internationally, he suggests connecting with local designers, stylists, makeup artists, and other creatives to produce collaborative projects.

Rather than waiting for someone to offer an opportunity, he encourages aspiring professionals to create their own.

He also stresses the importance of understanding your value and getting paid.

Building a portfolio may require occasional creative collaborations, but working for free shouldn’t become a permanent business model.

Above all, he emphasizes consistency, patience, and the importance of nurturing relationships.

As his own journey demonstrates, an experimental video filmed with friends in Paris can eventually lead to a career documenting some of the world’s most recognizable stars.

From Michael Jackson music videos to Beyoncé’s unforgettable Fashion Week appearance, and now to cinematic moments featuring today’s most fashionable celebrities, Mohtohsoh is proof that creative curiosity can evolve into a powerful career.

And while millions of people may recognize the famous faces appearing in his videos, it’s time to recognize the talent behind the lens.

Remember the name: Mohtohsoh.
