Arianne June 16, 2016June 16, 2016Leave a Comment

The “Let’s Paint” women’s fashion collection created for spring and summer of 2016 offers a splash of colorful contrast against black silhouettes. Fashion Designer, Delia Alleyne introduced the line during the September 2015 market week in New York City. The looks include rompers, jackets, funky trousers and that classic little black dress. The “Let’s Paint” collection is splashy, bold and is styled with a retro artist’s cap that makes the collection reminiscent of the psychedelic sixties. The applied fabrics range from nets to denim, to brocades as the paint splatter and appliqueing adds detail and an interesting design element to the collection.

“Painting is like a metaphor for life…“, explains Delia. “We are born as blank canvases waiting to be. Then moment by moment; stroke by stroke… We create life’s memories by applying one colorful moment in our life at a time.“

Delia, with her distinguished pink hairstyle, has a passion for colorful fashions. Residing in Trinidad and Tobago, Delia creates fashions tailored towards confident women. Her personal clients are bold about making a grand appearance during special occasions, nightlife hot-spots and red carpet showcases. Delia is inspired by the many crafty artists who surround her Caribbean nation. She began her career designing fashion gowns for pageantry.

Delia’s tenure at Trinidad’s Caribbean Academy of Fashion and Design school prepared her for a mentorship working on costume design projects with the famed Caribbean couturieres Meiling Esau. Delia strives to bring an avant-garde genre of fashion design into ready-to-wear by applying unique design details, and using finer fabrics. Delia’s goal is for the “Let’s Paint” collection to become a luxuriant lifestyle brand that is recognized throughout the Caribbean.

To quickly illustrate, Rihanna brought back her famous Creepers shoes. The first time around the popular shoe sold out of minutes. Since then, RiRi fans have begged and pleaded for the shoe design to come back into the fashion picture. Rihanna finally answered the style call and brought back the shoe in three new colors. The result? The kicks sold out in 30 minutes… again.

With that type of influence and power fashion houses and brands continue to line up for the chance to collaborate the chic mogul. With that being said it no wonder that Dior decided to work with Rihanna once again. Ah yes, the Rihanna x Dior sunglasses collection is not the first time the music icon and luxurious brand have crossed paths.

Black Beauty: Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations

Arianne Suggs April 25, 2016April 25, 2016Leave a Comment

We cannot feel our faces over this beauty news, but like The Weeknd, we like it! Anastasia, the queen of the brow formation and duchess of the contour is about to release a product that will once more change the face (pun intended) of the makeup game. What is she up to now to help us look all pretty? She is dropping Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations!

Just hours ago a teaser photo was released showing four gorgeous models on set shooting the ad campaign for the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations. Now get this… all four models were women of color! This marks a major beauty first. Anastasia of Beverly Hills is one of the first major cosmetics brands to release a new product starting with dark skin tones. Other lighter tones will be released but at a later time.

For years, the shortage of foundation colors for darker skinned women have often been overlooked by big name cosmetics. However, in more recent times a mind shift is occurring in the beauty industry. Thanks to efforts of supermodel Iman as well as black cosmetics companies such as Fashion Fair some options have been made available. Nevertheless, when you can count on one hand the number of brands offering deep, rich shades it shows that much improvement can still be achieved. Leaving out black girls and women from the makeup picture, cuts out a huge chunk of profits. However, now it seems that more companies are aiming to place their hands in the dark makeup pot.

We are excited to see a brand like ABH cater to all skin tones. The Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations will begin with four shades: Walnut, Amber, Almond and Cocoa. See them all below!

From left to right the shades are: Walnut, Amber, Almond and Cocoa

Beautiful right? Trust us you are going to want to get your hands on these sticks. This is the era of photoshop and filters. However, with these cream foundations you won’t need them or a beauty lamp to look Gram worthy. Just so you can see the true to color results of the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations check out this unedited, unretouched behind-the-scenes shot:

The ad campaign for the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations was lensed by Marcel Cantu. Makeup was beat by Keita Moore aka KilPrity if you follow on Snapchat. Hair was fried, dyed and laid to the side by Marcia Hamilton. Get excited for these new gorgeous shades! They will be available for purchase this August.
