Diva Liberation breaks down the difference between authentic style and hipsterism. While his style was born in Texas, it has been seriously honed by DC’s natural stylish energy as well as his process of self-discovery.

Coming at you with the perfect balance of accessories old and new, he uses his style to break down barriers and tell his own story. Make sure you hear him talk about why he isn’t a hipster—and how you can tell the difference between hipness and authentic style.

Listen to Sophia tell it all—whether she considers herself a diva, how she braves the winter, and how DC’s inherent flyness has affected her.

Even on a cold and windy day, Alicia serves up some top-notch advice on keeping it fly. Grounded in gold and molded by all the style DC has to offer, Alicia’s style has evolved into the fashion-forward diva you see today.

Wolfblister keeps around a picture of William Burroughs and David Bowie (together!). He takes style inspiration from both them, as well as his mom, transmutation, and werewolves. Hear him talk about how style is like cooking and the bottom line is always to tell your own story.

Keep it simple and perfect it all with just the right amount of flashy accessories. Day or night, this diva keeps it real. Be sure to hear his thoughts on being a diva (pro tip: he gets it from his mama).
