Fashion || Gucci Fall 2011 Collection Serves High Fashion Dames

Fedoras, Fur, and Femme Fury at Gucci's 90th Anniversary runway show.
The Fall 2011 collection followed an ongoing list of designers that have designed a
collection reminiscent of 70s glamour, effortless sex appeal, and style.
Glamour: palazzo pants, patent leather dresses, and fur shrugs
Sex Appeal: Airy draped chiffon dresses with sheer bodices and crotch-high splits
Effortless Style: eyes mysteriously hidden by wide brims on wool fedoras and oversized sunglasses.

Photography || Emma Summerton, Kryptonite to Lifeless Images


Photography || Emma Summerton, Kryptonite to Lifeless Images

Emma Summerton has the potential to be a legendary fashion photographer as she has gone from being THE editorial photographer to watch to an "in-demand" talent that can likely be described as the kryptonite to lifeless images.
The depth of the images she captures go beyond how they're staged and styled;
we're drawn to the richness of color, contrast and again the 'depth' of what she captures.
It's enough to make you want to walk into the picture at times.

The same hand on the shutter brought the dynamic pretty, young, things cover for i-D magazine
(Issue dedicated to Michael Jackson featuring Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, and Arlenis Sosa), a beautifully bohemian and yet intrinsically luxe editorial for VOGUE Italia, and the above spread shot for a recent issue of VOGUE Italia Beauty. We can't help but notice her work time and time again with more than good reason. Wonderful work Emma!

Fashion || PYT: There's Room For Everybody


Fashion || PYT: There's Room For Everybody

"There are loads of black models working and the idea that there's only a few of us, or four of us,
to let in as top models at any one time is just bullshit. It creates unnecessary competition when we should be standing together..." -Jourdan Dunn

Insi-De Look at the PYT Issue
Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, Arlenis Sosa
Fierce and Fabulous inside of the i-D P.Y.T. Issue.
The ladies spend time to discuss the now infamous "BLACK ISSUE"
of Vogue Italia and prominent African-American women in the fashion industry.
The overall purpose of this issue was to begin the new season by paying
homage to the King of Pop and Style in their Pre-Fall issue.
The magazine is full of famous MJ lyrics and quotables that are placed alongside coordinating high fashion editorials.

More importantly it focuses on the beauty of what makes us
all so different yet oh-so-worthy of acclaim.
