Azealia is truly a new and fresh face for Hip Hop having her own twist on the rap game . I can expect many great accomplishments for the mermaid in the next few upcoming years

American Rebel

When America was said to be "...the land of the free and the home of the brave", they sure were right because the American Rebel trend is freely expressed and bravely overlooked all across this great nation. This particular trend came about when the printed vintage patterns trend did, but this one seemed to have taken over like some new craze.  American rebel accounts for anything American flag patterned as well as navy and military inspired clothing .

Various Celebrities have gotten into this trend as well..

Azealia Banks

Solange

Wiz Khalifa

 

Lady Gaga & Beyonce

This Trend also accounts for shoes , hats and scarfs etc.
