From Glitter to Gold: 
How Taliek Jeqon Reimagined Beyoncé’s Flaunt Shoot in a Harlem Living Room

In a captivating new video, Taliek Jeqon—fashion stylist, creative director, and founder of CheckMyCloset.net—invites viewers into his world where style meets storytelling.

When Beyoncé’s glitter-drenched spread for Flaunt Magazine hit the scene, it instantly became a cultural moment—iconic, sultry, and unapologetically bold. But for creative visionary Taliek Jeqon, it was more than just a stunning editorial. It was a spark.With a passion for storytelling through makeup Taliek saw an opportunity not just to pay homage to Queen Bey, but to challenge the limits of space, budget, and expectations. 
With the power of vision over budget, Taliek teamed up with rising photographer and art director Jasmine Aislin. What most would’ve written off as “just a $5 setup” became, under Taliek’s direction, a $50,000 fantasy—minus the cost. Using only a few tubes of glitter, DIY lighting tricks, and a living room transformed into a studio, the team crafted a set that radiated high fashion editorial.
