Daya - STAGE THREADS Ep. 26

If I had to sum up the album in one outfit, it would probably be this outfit right here. I just try to make the decision based off of vibes. Hey, it's Deja. We're backstage at my Chicago show on the Till Every Petal Drops tour, touring my album Till Every Petal Drops, and we're gonna take a look at some of my looks for tour, and I am so excited to show you. So for this tour, since it's the Till Every Petal Drops tour, we wanted to do some flower-inspired looks, and my stylist, Joyce, is an amazing stylist. She absolutely crushes it, and she's been helping me pick out some looks in different kind of versions of the world. We have the cyber blue, which has been a consistent theme throughout the album, and then we have the red, which is like more of a straightforward red rose. We have this feather moment, which I think is just like plays off of like the kind of the darkness with the black feathers, the darkness, the broodiness of the album, but also has some lightness and playfulness to it too. And then we got this Nausicaa set, which I wore in Nashville, and I'm obsessed with. It was so fun to wear on stage. It has this like beautiful flower right here, and yeah, we kind of wanted it to be like whimsical and playful and have textures that reflect the light really well, but also feel a little bit edgy, a little bit grungy too, so kind of beating in the middle of those two worlds a little bit. Yeah, so when we started planning the tour, I was workshopping some things with my creative director, Lou, and we were just putting together like an overall visual palette for the tour. We wanted to include some like hero colors of the album, so the cyber blue is one of them, kind of these like lighter red and purples. So we had the initial conversation with my stylist, Joyce, and she had reached out to a few local designers to New York, some people from London, and they put together some sketches for dental outfits, and we reviewed them together, and this was the result of that. So this is a beautiful custom design by Emily Ane. It's got this beautiful kind of it's blue metallic fabric. It reflects the light really well. I'm super, super excited. I'm going to wear this tonight. I can't wait. Someone told me I look like a cyber Polly Pocket, and that's like the best description I've ever heard. I'm going to wear it with these boots, the Demonia boots, so I'm going to be very, very tall tonight. I mean it's just like, it's very bouncy, and it literally feels like a pillow. It's very comfortable. It's like one of the most comfortable stage outfits I've ever worn, but it just feels very chic at the same time, very elevated, and I love that it's literally turning me into a literal flower. Like there's nothing more on the nose than this, and yeah, it's going to be super fun to bounce around in tonight. This feather look is by Finesse, and we really love the texture of this. We love the flowiness. It's going to be really fun to play with on stage. I love that it also hits that like cyber blue and kind of reflective with the light, but also has these like darker little accents, which I feel is very true to the album. Like a little bit playful, but also a little bit moody and mysterious, so I feel like this one, if I had to sum up the album in one outfit, it would probably be this outfit right here. Yeah, this will just be with a black boot, classic black boot. Yeah, just to grunge it up a little bit more. This one is also by Finesse, and was actually one of the last looks that we tried on because I'm not typically a red person, but for some reason, this one, I just felt like immediately comfortable and at home in, and it's just like has such a cool flow to it. I have a song called Matador on the album that this really reminds me of, so yeah, I'm really excited for this one. Okay, so this is by Nausicaa. It's this amazing designer based in New York. We really loved the glitter on this, and the shine, and we have these little flower moments, this big one that went, that goes right on my shoulder right here. Super fun, and I feel like it nailed the theme, and I love a two-piece set because it just feels like more, it's more flowy, and allows for more movement on stage. So yeah, I love this one so much, and this one pairs with these amazing beige Sergio Rossi boots. I love these two colors together. It feels very like earthy. So this is half of an outfit, outfit in progress. The top is currently being shipped to us, which is, you know, road life, but I'm really excited about this one. It's black, and then it's going to have like a maroon or like a burgundy corset, and then we're going to have some burgundy socks. A big theme of a lot of these outfits is we're going to do like high socks above the boot, depending on what color we land on. So that's been really fun to play with, and I'm super excited for this look. We'll wear it with the black boots too. We have this Spanish designer, Delicado Studio, this like very adorable green bolero look, bolero top, and then we have this corset. It'll probably pair with like a black boy short and these black boots as well. I usually like to consider what city, what the vibes are of the city. I feel like that factors a lot into what I'm wearing, and each city has like a totally different vibe, even within the East Coast and Midwest, which is mostly what we're touring this for. But yeah, I just felt like this was like a very fun and playful moment for Chicago, and this top and skirt felt like a very cutesy, girly Nashville moment, especially with these boots. But I think as I go, yeah, I just try to make the decision based off of based off of vibes. I don't really, like, I don't know that there's like really any other way to say that. I mean, it is thoughtful, but it's just, it's how I feel in the city and how I feel, how I felt performing there in years past, and what I feel the crowd will appreciate the most, hopefully. So for GLAM, we wanted to be very intentional with these looks. I also spoke to my stylist, Joyce, very closely about all of this because she had very specific, a very specific vision. A lot of these call for, yeah, very specific looks, and some of them have, you know, more, a more glammed up, girly moment. Some of them are more grungy, and we kind of wanted to strike a balance between the two of those based on the outfit. Today, we're going a little bit more grunge. You can see with the bleached eyebrows. Yeah, for this outfit, I think because it is so girly, we wanted to balance it out with like kind of a darker eye, and so we did like a shadowy, smoky, dark brown, gray moment for this one. Day-to-day, I'm just showing up in baggy jeans and a sweatshirt, usually very low-key. I love to be comfortable. I can't lie. I love that it gives me a moment to also step into a new kind of persona when I'm on stage with these outfits. I feel like it really makes me feel like an elevated version of myself. So most of the accessories that we have for this tour are rings or earrings because there's so many like interesting necklines. I didn't really want to distract from that, so we have some simple silver detailed rings and earrings here. We like to play with kind of like geometric shapes a lot, so you'll see a lot of like this long piece and then these like oval pieces here, kind of ovally. Yeah, we have like a bunch of rings and and earrings, and then we have gloves for some of the looks too, which has been like a kind of another motif through all the looks, which has been really fun. Yeah, just some like black leather gloves, and then we have these like ombre gloves actually for this look, which I'm really excited about. Someone spray-painted the tips of the gloves, so that's going to be really fun. And it also feels like an organic like up-the-earth moment, like literally digging in the dirt type of thing. That's a wrap on the looks for tour. Thank you guys for joining me. My name is Deja again. My album is out now. It's called Till Every Petal Drops, and I hope you guys love it.
