Interview: Timeekah Murphy on Designing for Beyoncé - a podcast by CJ

Its been nearly one year since Beyoncé dropped the epic visual album Black is King as a companion to the 2019 soundtrack for The Lion King remake. The music, choreography, and visuals were unforgettable, but many also agree that the fashion took center stage in this production. For this week’s episode, I was able to connect with one of the talented designers whose pieces were featured in this amazing project. 

Timeekah Murphy is the founder of the Alani Taylor brand and co-founder of Déviant La Vie, both of which were featured in the music videos for Bigger and Spirit and played a huge part Timeekah’s growth as both a streetwear and high fashion designer. During this interview, we’ll talk about her unique military background, how she discovered her passion for fashion design, and of course, her experience designing for Queen B herself. You can learn more about Timeekah and Alani Taylor at alanitaylor.com or follow the brand on Instagram @alanitaylorco.
