i’ll probably be thinking about how magical this night was for the rest of my life. when i started @prophetmedia.co four years ago, i could have never imagined it would lead me here. i’ve had big, bold ideas my whole life, and to have a team around me who believes in them so fully and fights endlessly to bring them to life… i’m just incredibly grateful.
thank you to @kingprincess69 and @lisarinna for trusting this insane vision. making CUNT News with you was one of the great joys of my life, and this award is ours together 🍒
i also wanted to talk a bit more about the creative direction behind the look, which visionary @cassadeehirsch and i spent the past month dreaming up together. i knew going into this that i wanted to wear something that physically embodied the digital work we were being recognized for. it had to be equally parts campy and classy, chic and sleazy, and truly embody CUNT. cass absolutely knocked it out of the park with this custom piece by @volkov.nyc , stunning jewelry by @alexisbittar , and amazing glam by @aliciadangelo . my favorite look to date :’) thank you for all the love!
BREAKING NEWS… we won the People’s Voice @thewebbyawards for Social Arts & Entertainment! What an absolute honor to be recognized for this campaign. It is one of our favorites to date, and it is proof that big, bold creative will cut through the noise. Mikaela, you’re a visionary. Lisa, you’re truly the only person who could have pulled off this role. And to the team who poured their heads, hearts, and copious amounts of red paint into this campaign, we could not be more grateful. Long live camp, long live Cherry 🍒 We’ll see you May 11th
this past october, i had the honor of directing a feature length concert film for @americfootball , with performances and interviews from the band, ethel cain, yvette young, m.a.g.s., and turnstile!Â
this was my first feature length project — something i fought very hard to make, and something i have been dreaming of doing for years. i am so proud of this film, and could not be more excited to announce that it will be premiering in theaters across America this May.
i think the movie we made is both a love letter to a band and also a cultural document that dives into an amazing community of artists and their fans. i truly cannot wait for you to see it.
a huge thank you to the @polyvinylrecords team and @amberleone for hearing out my ideas and believing in them enough to make this happen. and of course, thank you to the incredible @prophetmedia.co team — you amaze me every day.
see you in a movie theater ;)
25 today, oh boy !
as i’ve approached this birthday i have been very emotional but i am also feeling an overwhelming sense of mental clarity. more than ever before, i know who i am, and what i want. i used to be afraid of getting older, but now more than anything i am just feeling grateful. i think i’ve lived out my early 20s the best i possibly could have — i get to see the world through my art, sink my teeth into the most fun, creatively fulfilling projects, and have the most wonderful friends. there isn’t much more i could really ask for at this point.
anyway today i am with my best friends celebrating in berlin but here’s some film from my birthday party last week 🙂‍↔️💓
my heart is so full !!! thanks for all the love on “try u on” :-) here are some bts shots from the music video 🧡 if you haven’t seen it yet, link’s in bio
