Video stylist in dancehall era

Well supported

From the 1990s the dancehall video became a place where clothes were made as deliberately as the music, and the stylist an author of the result. The look that reached the rest of the world — the fabrics, the colour, the silhouette — was frequently their work, and it is almost never credited on the record it sold.
