Stylist Kithe Brewtster

MUA: Vincent M. Oquendo for Tracy Mattingly

We adored the dress Sessilee Lopez wore on the

cover of this December 2010 issue of 944 Magazine designed by The Blonds.

Since that moment, were in HIGH anticipation of their Fall 2011 Collection.

They have become our blonde pseudo twin spawns of Manish Arora,

with the "balls to the wall" knack-for-detail.

Fashion || ESSENCE Magazine does African Luxe: MAASAI

Fashion || ESSENCE Magazine does African Luxe: MAASAI

For their April 2010 issue, Essence magazine premieres a spread titled

"MIX MASTER: Africa's Maasai influences collide in a melange of exuberant hues, Silhouettes, and textures."

Photographer: David Roemer
Styled by: Billie Causieestko

Beautifully done. African influenced style taking a stronghold on runways and collections

in high-fashion is what provides me with some enthusiasm; not the African prints.

Why? African prints/fabric is nothing new, but the idea of giving credit to cultural groups within Africa is VERY exciting.

Maasai accessories have made a greater impact on Spring accessories within the past three years.

Check out Pages 128-129 of the issue to get a full scope of how to integrate global fashion into

your wardrobe, and how to get the looks from featured in this blog for less.

Fashion || Arlenis Sosa on the Cover of LATINA Mag

This weekend marks my first time purchasing LATINA Magazine.

Why you might ask? Because Arlenis Sosa is on the March 2010 cover and she is FABULOUS.

My favorite look from the spread photographs a bold use of several colors in her styling.

Stand out pieces from this look include the following:

Purple Vintage brocade blazer, Yves Saint Laurent
Canary Yellow Denim jeans, Marc by Marc Jacobs
Sea Green Patent leather pumps, Christian Louboutin.

I also adore the Black Rock & Republic heels styled with the harem pant look!

Fashion || Modern Clown vs. Fashion Eccentric

Fashion || Modern Clown vs. Fashion Eccentric

clown: /klaʊn/ [kloun] –noun a comic performer, as in a circus, theatrical production, or the like, who wears an outlandish
costume and makeup and entertains by pantomiming common situations or actions in exaggerated or ridiculous fashion.

When I think of a clown, I think of an individual with exaggerated qualities that
goes to extreme lengths to make their "audience" laugh or smile.
Meanwhile they fill their personal voids through enabling another person's happiness.

A clown stands out in the a crowd, sometimes in a way that attracts ridicule for
compromising integrity, or attracts intrigue for being brave enough to be intensely different.

What does it take to survive the micro-environment that is THE FASHION INDUSTRY

in comparison to what it takes to survive today's GLOBAL COMMUNITY/SOCIETY?

What used to be frowned upon (extreme eccentricity) has become a major determining factor in whether or not
they are given an opportunity sought after by a crowd. People who at one time might have been considered

clown-like in appearance, behavior, personality, or by way of communication have become

trendsetters, creative directors, entertainers, reality tv contestants, names of designer labels, and faces of major movements.

Why? They are the bright haired and bright-eyed creative-geniuses wearing mix-matched colors and prints.

More ironically they are the same people many of us would not dare chastise because
they bring some of the most inconceivable ideas to the table without compromising their integrity.

It is as if it is their duty to ensure you will never forget them in hopes that you might consider
why you should be memorable and "wildly" different from the next person.

"Modern Clown vs. Fashion Eccentric" was inspired by the Z!NK's "Clowning Around" shoot featured in their Holiday 2009 issue.
To incorporate the season, the model is styled head-to-toe in fabulous furs from every spectrum.

The intense tangerine hair in contrast with the indigo shadowed-eyes are stunning and play off the theme in a way that

characterizes the shoot with folly and a rocker glam appeal. Pure eye candy!

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.
