DJ Eva Shaw Is Not For The Weak | After Hours | Refinery29 - video Dailymotion

Refinery29

DJ Eva Shaw is incredibly striking, but we don't need to tell you that. You might've already seen her in runway shows, fashion magazines, and ad campaigns. But, after spending her teenage years posing for the camera, she wanted to get out, move around, call the shots. Now, she's commandeering sweat-inducing DJ sets behind the turntable, and the spinning life is proving to be more her thing.  For our third and final installment of our DJ series, After Hours, we sat down with Shaw as she prepped for a very late-night rager at NYC's Pacha. (No, really — Shaw's set started at 1 a.m.) From discovering a connection between fashion and music to tapping into an allegiance of avidly "intense" fans, Shaw dishes the details on her personal style with us and H&M. Getting styled like a model to dance all night? Music won't be the only thing spinning.

00:06When I was first scouted to model I was 13 and I was wearing a really baggy t-shirt that

00:11I had

00:12printed out like a picture of a frog with my name on it that I made at the science center.

00:18So I

00:18wasn't exactly the most fashionable person and now I feel pretty comfortable but it took a while for

00:33sure. Yeah my first gig was actually with another DJ and he told me to go on for a little

00:39bit because

00:39he had to go to the bathroom so I was like freaking out but I took over anyway and the

00:45club owner was there and he saw me and he was like yeah you know you're pretty good you should

00:49uh you should play here yourself. The other DJ was kind of like uh hmm. There's not a whole lot

00:55of girls

00:56that are DJing the kind of style that I play.

01:09I think there's definitely a connection between my fashion and the music that I like. Kind of picking

01:14things that I like and then mashing it up. I feel like I change a lot like I'm kind of

01:18a chameleon

01:19sometimes I'll be a little crazy and in your face with my outfits and other times I'll be refined. I

01:25really like high fashion and then other times I just like being a complete tomboy and I go anywhere

01:31in that between that and sometimes a mix of both. You can really mix up things that are more affordable

01:36with high-end stuff and make it look really fashionable. I like to wear comfortable clothes

01:41when I DJ because I like jumping around and when I can I usually get on the booth and like

01:46spray everyone

01:47the champagne. I try to enjoy the moment um but I also do think about the future a lot. So

01:52up until

01:52now I've always had sort of like an idea of what I'm going to do. Later when I was modeling

01:57I didn't

01:57know I was going to be a DJ. You can kind of plan but at the same time you know

02:01you can't be too strict

02:02with with an idea of the future because you really don't know what's going to happen. As long as you

02:07keep doing then something's going to come up. You have to risk things in life in order to get something

02:13big.
