Meet Zerina Akers, the stylist behind Beyoncé’s epic visual album.
, and across the African continent, it serves as a showcase for both their talents. With more than a hundred different looks, each frame of the film overflows with fashion culled from runways, boutiques, designers yet to be discovered by the mainstream, and custom pieces Akers made all by herself. To say it was a labor of love feels like an understatement. As Akers tells it, the process began organically, a relaxed afternoon at Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Hamptons estate.
Akers’s willingness to utilize emerging talent instead of just relying on high fashion’s usual suspects is a reflection of her industry beginnings. Originally from Landover, Maryland, Akers was interested in style from the start. As a teenager, she organized fashion shows at school, staying up late to design original looks for fellow students. Her career in the industry began in the early 2000s.
The star’s signature look is sexy, opulent, and worn with swagger, though Akers always aims to push the boundaries. “There are things we know are the standards,” she says. “The accentuated waist—that waist is worth a billion dollars—and certain silhouettes, but I’ve also been exploring new shapes with her, refining that code a bit because she’s been at this a long time and I’m the new one here. So it’s about how we can work together to create something fresh.
