British Vogue invited Stormzy to speak together with his stylist Melissa Holdbrook-Akposoe (Melissa’s Wardrobe) and review his most iconic performances to this point: from Stormzy’s breakout track ‘Shut Up’ and the headline-making 2018 Brit Awards performance, to his recent hit ‘Mel Made Me Do It’ — a tribute to his long-term friend & stylist.

The pair discuss the outfits that he’s worn during his rise to fame, alongside Stormzy’s newfound appreciation for fashion. “It’s sick to see that as much as I’ve grown, there are still things which might be the exact same,” Stormzy says as he reflects back. “I began in a black tracksuit with all of the mandem, but we’ve led to a hot-pink suit with the mandem… The identical folks that were there from the start”. Watch the complete episode of Behind The Curtain with Stormzy and Melissa Holdbrook-Akposo, as they delve into 11 tentpole moments in Stormzy’s profession to this point.
