Presenting: Stuzo Fashion Show

STUZO CLOTHING started in 2010 by Stoney Michelli & Uzo Ejikeme. Although based in Los Angeles, their hearts beat to the drums of the big city of New York! Our mission is to create a space in the fashion world where all are welcome without judgment. Stuzo Clothing is a genderless clothing company designed to invoke thought and emotion. Our brand is for the non-conforming and bold at heart. Our pieces are unisex or gender free as we prefer to call them because clothes don’t have any organs last time we checked. We are inspired by love, people and life. Whatever shape or form you choose to exist in, we celebrate that!

The Stuzo Clothing fashion show will take place Saturday night during the famous Hollywood Party! Get your tickets HERE.

MUSICAL PERFORMERS

DAYA

After making her debut with 2016’s double-platinum single “Hide Away”, 20-year-old singer/songwriter Daya wasted no time in skyrocketing her career. Soon after, she won her first ever Grammy Award for smash collaboration with The Chainsmokers “Don’t Let Me Down” (6x platinum), released a gold-certified album, and headlined a national tour. Just months after debuting at #5 on Billboard’s 21 Under 21 list in 2016, the Pittsburgh-born independent artist emerged as the youngest honoree on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 music list in 2017. In addition to signing with Interscope Records and releasing two of her own singles (“New” and “Safe”), Daya has collaborated with Gryffin/Illenium (“Feel Good”) and RL Grime (“I Wanna Know”).

KIANA LEDÉ

Kiana Ledé will be bringing her soulful R&B stylings to the Dinah stage, sharing her confessional and catchy songs to connect and unite us all! A self-made singer, songwriter, and actress, Kiana’s message is one of empowerment and never giving up despite challenges and disadvantages. She explains that growing up as a mixed race girl, she was able to pull from many influences, making her music so unique in today’s world full of copy-of-a-copy pop stars.

Kiana’s career began at a very young age, winning an online talent competition, landing her first deal at 15 years old and performing on The Today Show and at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. After that deal fizzled out, the budding talent moved to LA to pursue her career on her own.

She launched the #SoulFoodSessions in 2016, acoustically serving up piping hot popular covers and generating over 50 million views in addition to a storm of coverage. Around the same time, she joined the cast of MTV’s Scream for season two in the role of Zoe Vaughn. Recognizing the grind, Republic Records Co-Founder and Chief Executive Monte Lipman personally signed Kiana. She contributed “Big Spender” to the chart-dominating official soundtrack for Fifty Shades Freed and released the 2018 debut EP,Selfless. As she received acclaim from Refinery29Baeble MusicComplex,stupidDOPE, and more, the single “Fairplay” has amassed more than 10 million streamsand attracted A$AP Ferg for the remix. Powered by a fiery fusion of R&B, pop, alternative, and indie, she drops lyrics that toe the line between confessional and catchy.
