When Vinka dropped her new music video “La La La”, fans were quick to notice the daring fashion choices that perfectly matched the song’s energy. Behind those standout looks was fashion stylist and designer Solomon Tazibone, under his brand Kredibility Styling. In a recent interview, Solomon shared the creative process, challenges, and inspiration behind styling the video directed by Aaronaire.
According to Solomon, the original concept featured three costumes, but the final decision was narrowed down to two. “Vinka doesn’t like to do too many costumes in one shoot,” he explained. “Sometimes you put in a lot of effort and money into different outfits, but they only appear for a few seconds in the final cut.”
Both final looks, one red and one white were designed to embody sensuality and elegance with a bold twist. “The director wanted to push sexiness but also go against the grain by adding veils to both outfits,” Solomon said. “It was about mixing sensuality with a bit of mystery.”
The red look featured a sequined corset paired with short shorts and fringe detailing at the hem, creating the illusion of a romper. “It gave this playful yet powerful vibe,” he noted. “I had to be clever with fabric choices since we didn’t have much prep time, so I picked sequined fabric that photographed beautifully.”
The white look, however, demanded more time and effort. “That one was the most labour-intensive,” Solomon revealed. “It was a beaded pearl outfit made from a bra and stretchy shorts. I had to bring in someone who could handle the intricate beading work.” Despite delays, the outfit was completed just in time for filming. “We started shooting with the red look as they finalized the pearl one. It literally arrived on set as we wrapped up the first scene.”
Reflecting on the entire experience, Solomon said the goal was clear: to push boundaries and make a statement. “Aaron [Aaronaire] wanted to shock people a little, imagine pairing a bridal veil with a skimpy outfit,” he laughed. “That contrast was the whole point.”
Though Solomon wasn’t in charge of dressing the dancers, he acknowledged that their styling also followed the same sensual and bold direction that defined the video’s overall aesthetic.
