infinite coles

  • video by indie studios

    Featured in issue No. 22 of Ladygunn Magazine, the video and corresponding photoshoot stars mega-talented singer / songwriter Infinite Coles.

    Infinite is the son of Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan.

    The inspiration for this collaboration between Infinite and Indie Studios was our shared interest in creating a safe space in fashion and art to explore and redefine gender norms, and to discuss difficult issues like homelessness.

    Infinite's personal journey to find acceptance, love and a safe space to call home motivated him to write his new EP which includes the original song, Round.

    Cole’s sexually-charged performance recontextualizes the experience of homelessness and challenges the stereotypes of gender and beauty.
