Ciara in StyleBistro

As StyleBistro's latest celebrity guest editor, Ciara sat down with Associate Editor Mercedes Hawkins to talk about the intersection of fashion and music. Mercedes says, "I felt like I was talking to one of my friends about our love of fashion and music. Ciara revealed her growing appreciation for fashion, and how it influences her music and her evolution as a woman. She may be one of the hottest R&B stars around, but she is easy to talk to and wasn't afraid to let me in on her insecurities. You can tell she loves to push her self creatively, and fashion plays a big role in that....
