Ray Kay, video director for Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” had some very kind words for the flourishing pop star and also gives a little insight on the costume direction for the clip. Oh and if you’re not familiar with Kay’s work see Beyonce’s “Freak Em Dress”, The-Dream’s “Rockin’ That Thang”, Pretty Ricky’s “My Body”, Destiny Child’s “Solider” and many more.
“I’m so excited to see all the buzz about this video on the web. Willow really deserves this, she’s a superstar already. The video will surely be considered a classic a few years from now. I think we managed to create a fresh expression using Willow’s amazing energy, a positive and inspiring concept, and mixing the colors of the sets with Willow’s fashion, which consisted of custom-made clothing and exclusive One Z jumpsuits from California Christiania Republic. She’s a trendsetter already and I’m sure others will be copying her style soon!”
