DEV performed at a recent concert wearing head-to-toe leopard print with matching pieces from Motel. She wears their Hardy Boyfriend Shirt in Leopard Print ($70.00) with the Jordan Skinny Jean in Leopard Print ($60.00). DEV added her own twist to the top with golden metal collar tips. She’s also got on her Jeffrey Campbell “Clinic” Wedges ($179.95), which she has been wearing a lot recently.

DEV October 2009 photoshoot by gotchapix

Back in October 2009, DEV had a photoshoot with Drop Doctors on the set of “Fireball” music video wearing the A-Morir Love/Hate Convertible Chain Sunglasses ($250.00). A-Morir’s hand-crafted sunglasses, the work of designer Kerin Rose, have been popularized by celebrities like Rihanna and Lady Gaga which has spurned a number of inexpensive knock-offs. You can get a pair of “Celebrity Style” chain sunglasses from Sunglass Warehouse for only $15.95.

DEV also wears the Damaged Deconstructed Cardigan Dress from Hellz Bellz, which is sold out. Check out pictures below:

DEV at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival in Austin, TX on March 15, 2012

Taking center stage for DEV’s performance at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival are her golden yellow Leather Shorts by Emma Cook ($530.00). Her black and white platform oxford Jeffrey Campbell “Warning” shoes ($160.00) have a creeper-style woven toe detail and etched silver buckles. You can get a sheer blouse like DEV’s with the Chiffon Oversized Button-Up from American Apparel ($58.00). I think her exact necklace is the Hammered Collar Necklace from Nasty Gal ($20.00, sold out), but you can get similar necklaces from Nordstrom or Nasty Gal.

DEV modeling for Fly Society

DEV is wearing Fly Society’s LBC T-Shirt ($26.50 at PacSun). The phrase “So Much Drama in the LBC” is a line from the Snoop Dogg song “Gin and Juice.” Fly Society writes:

The famous rap promo tee. Way before downloading destroyed promo, record labels’ budget for rap albums always included promo tees with a hook or catchphrase in bold white letters from the album they were promoting. These things were rampant in the streets all the way up until recent times. They have now gone the way of the dinosaur kinda like Pen & Pixel album covers…
Take it back to ’94, and grab this t-shirt and more exclusively at PacSun.

Fly Society – $26.50

Dev is wearing the Skull Cut-Out Tee from Vans, which sells for $30.00 in their online store. It’s easy to make your own version — use tailor’s chalk or a washable marker to draw eye sockets, nostril openings, and tooth shapes onto the back of a t-shirt and then carefully cut them out with a pair of scissors. Here’s a tutorial to show you how:

Dev's "Booty Bounce" music video

Electro-pop singer Dev (born Devin Star Tailes) wears 26 different outfits in her music video for “Booty Bounce.” A sample from this song was used as the chorus of Far East Movement’s number 1 hit “Like a G6.”

All of the clothing is from streetwear brand Hellz Bellz, save for some American Apparel hosiery. The pieces in the video span a few years of collections, so most of them are no longer available for purchase, but I’ve managed to identify 22 of the items worn. Read full story »
