SPICE is ‘VOGUE’ Certified5 min read

Dancehall artiste Spice, more formerly known as Grace Hamilton, has been given a new label on the entertainment scene.

Now, the deejay’s explosive energy has caught the attention of the world’s leading authority on all things fashion, Vogue. Just a few days after her performance at Reggae Sumfest 2017, the major fashion house singled out the entertainer, as the fashion-forward queen of dancehall.

Deidre Dyer of Vogue wrote: ‘While there was a veritable runway of festival style on the ground at Red Stripe’s Reggae Sumfest last weekend, the most show-stopping look appeared when Spice hit centre stage for her late-night set. The dancehall singer arrived on a four-poster bed, replete with satin sheets and fluffy marabou pillows, to perform her bawdy hit, Sheet. She quickly ditched her pink boudoir robe for a chain-encrusted gold bustier, then kicked off her heels. It was a perfect example of the artiste’s fearless, ever-changing wardrobe – one that is redefining dancehall style.

Spice his shown that she understands that fashion is a crucial element of performance her performances are always kicked up a notch by elaborate bodysuits and a rotation of colourful wigs. Then there’s her uniforms and latex bodysuits that often border.

But beyond the bold wigs and bodysuits, Spice isn’t afraid to dabble in more provocative, gender-defying fashion. Case in point: the fake moustache and three-piece suit she wore for her 2014 hit, Like A Man, which addressed gender bias and sexism in the dancehall scene.
