Rhea (pronounced /ˈriː.ə/; ancient Greek Ῥέα) was the Titaness daughter of Ouranos, the sky, and Gaia, the earth, inclassical Greek mythology. She was known as “the mother of gods.“
“Pharrell’s New Masterpiece”, Rhea is a great singer and songwriter who happens to be sexy as hell. When K+R decided to feature Rhea we wanted to do something special with her. The idea was to show the light that shines within her and at the same time break down where that presence originates and “deconstruct” her visually to highlight her glow and the structure of her body with shapes. It’s like the blueprint and the masterpiece are fused together as one. Simple shapes and geometry were used to add a sense of architecture, which has a sophisticated, planned process feeling.
Rhea is one of the most soulful singers out right now. Now that Pharrell has recruited Rhea as the new member of N.E.R.D, be on the look out for some new hot music from the group.
Like we do with all of our exclusive features, we asked Rhea to share with us some of her favorite things. Click below to read what she said.
Rhea’s favorite things:
book: Oprah’s Biography
film: Pretty Woman
song: Ribbon In The Sky
quote: “It’s not about the race it’s about the marathon”.
meal: My Mom’s vegetarian cooking
garment: The all-in-one jumpsuit
website: www.ClosetDiaries.com
place: The Beach
vice: True Blood Series
artist: Zac Posen, Cavalli, Gucci- clothing can be art
photographer: Steven Meisel (Black models Italian Vogue – historic)
My perfect day begins with sunshine and ends with a goodnight kiss.
Sexy is… Feeling completely comfortable in my skin, my clothes my mind my body and my spirit. Being able to fully let go and show people who I am. My personal sexy comes from within and makes me SHINE
