We first heard about Azealia Banks when Nme magazine mentioned her 212 video last year. When they chose her to top their 2011 cool list we paid attention and got tickets to see her on the Nme tour in February. She was amazing.
What was really interesting was that she had not yet attracted all the designer love she gets nowadays so we have watched her and her style grow massively in just 6 months.

Azealia's Style Evolution
Before the designer fans her style was more like this
First Fashion Footstep
The first thing she did style-wise was dye her hair pink for the Nme tour in February then change it nearly every week.

July
Waterfalls start with just a drop of water and Azealia's expression of personality through her hair has evolved to the Mermaid fancy dress balls/gigs that Azealia regularly throws for fans and fellow rappers.
As well as mermaids, she's into butterlflies,
and genies.
Alexander Wang used Azealia for his autumn/winter campaign.
August
Her Van Vogue launch was so popular Rankin's website kept crashing.
She's on top form with Van Vogue.
This Spin magazine look fits in with the 'aquababes' theme she's got going with the mermaid ball.
