To say Vashtie Kola stays busy would be an understatement. Not only is she a video director and stylist, but she also has her own clothing line, VIOLETTE. But it's V's trend-setting ability that really makes her stand out. Vintage cut-off jean shorts? Yeah she pioneered that. Take a walk around the L.E.S. and you'll see her influence on young bitties everywhere. But most importantly for us, Vashtie knows a thing or two about dope footwear—which is why we tapped her for our next mega sneaker list. Her favorites range from Jordans to Chanel flats and everything in between. What's the "Downtown Sweetheart"'s favorite sneaker of all time? Start clicking and we'll meet you at #1.

UMMNOOO u think she is thirsty?!!!! really did pharell help her write the treatment for Common's video "Testify" or maybe he helped her make every NYC girl want to have that downtown swagg. Vashtie is talented...period end of story.

I agree with Clay... I guess he helped her produce that CRS "US Placer" video too or maybe held the camera for Justin Bieber's joint... umm not to mention Solange's "T.O.N.Y" and Jada's "Letters to BIG" and the list goes on... It's more than obvious that you have the slightest clue abt who she is... BYE HATER!!
