BFYNE SS20 Paradise Collection-Be the Belle of Summer’s Ball!

BFYNE SS20 Paradise collection

 

The BFYNE SS20 Paradise collection is here and trust us, it is breathtaking! What’s all available in this jam packed vibrant drop? New suits, new cover-ups but same classic gorgeous vibe. BFYNE is definitely THE brand pushing the style envelope and changing the way we all view swimwear; one print at a time!

 

 

Based in Miami, Florida, BFYNE has steadily been redefining not only fashion standards, but black beauty. In times past, you may think of the likes of Tyra Banks and Danielle Harrington for Sports Illustrated; when it come to gazing upon a gorgeous black essence in swimwear. However, outside of that… sadly, you may not have that many others coming to mind.

Which is why BFYNE’s success and movement is so refreshing. They couple stunning, glamorous design with drop dead gorgeous melanin rich models. This is revolutionary because there was a time when you just did not see this in fashion.

Nevertheless, it’s important for young black girls to see positive imagery of themselves. To encourage them to feel beautiful, important, seen and most importantly that they can achieve big things as well.

 

 

Maybe like BFYNE they ARE they next big brand or label. Or maybe perhaps they’re the next wave in science, sports, finance, music, entertainment, health, medical or education. The possibilities are endless when confidence is instilled and inspiration can grow. Which is why we love BFYNE for their use of stunning black models in their absolutely beautiful creations.

What served as the inspiration behind BFYNE’s Paradise SS20 collection? The couture swim label reveals,

“We often think of it as a destination. But what a limiting definition for such a tangible phenomenon. Truly, it exists in our moments and our connections. In the experience of exploring, dreaming and discovery. Inspired by the infinite hues that decorate a nomadic lifestyle, BFYNE presents its SS20 Collection: Paradise.

From the union of quality and elevated design, BFYNE’s latest collection emerges to give you an unparalleled experience. 24 months of passionate labor bleeds into this collection of prolific prints. Honest to BFYNE’s roots in West African culture, you’ll find patterns that leave you with feelings of inspiration, exhilaration and home. Steady yourself. This aesthetic is not for the faint.

 

 

Fashion. Creativity. Breath. A movement with you in mind. Welcome to Paradise.”

There’s something for everyone. Whimsical beauty, voguish pieces; what’s not to love? The Paradise collection is available now and includes every piece you need in order to be style standout this summer!

The editorial you are about to witness is all about BUSINESS! Women are starting companies, being BOSSES and they need the clothes to match their entrepreneurial essence. One magazine piece that we thought recently captured and captivated this success driven aspect of fashion well; is the Ruth Akele for Vogue Arabia June 2020 edition!

 

 

Power suits, blouses, bold tones and ….shorts?? Yep… all find their way into this couture mix of excellence. Vogue Arabia had a short blurb on their issue which gives a new spin on office style. Vogue says,

“Let our June 2020 issue inspire you to step into a brave new world of suiting by experimenting with avant-garde cutting techniques in a high octane color palette. To see more looks, make sure to pick up your copy of our latest edition.”

As the mag mentions, one thing that we love is the fresh infusion of color. That is not normally something one would probably think of for office attire. Usually, the typical uniform includes neutral colors with an emphasis on blue, gray, black or a beige.

 

 

This editorial invites fashion lovers to expand their horizons a bit (our favorite look is the green Balenciaga suit). To be a little more fearless with their wardrobe and really experiment. Fashion is all about self expression and its a real shame that in the work force we have had to put limits and restraints on personal style. Kudos to Vogue and the stunning Ruth Akele on these visuals!

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019

She’s style, she is grace, she’s a cover girl oh hey! Supermodel IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 edition and she is looking as fabulous as ever. In the article, InStyle discusses her iconic career and more!

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue -Fashion’s Unrivaled Empress

How did IMAN come to have such an amazing career in the tough and gruff modeling and fashion industries? Well, the model is discussing just that to InStyle. Regarding the piece and IMAN’s gorgeous visuals, the magazine says,

“Supreme. For our second March subscriber cover, IMAN wore this t-shirt as an homage to her stature as an unrivaled deity of the modeling world; a trailblazing cosmetics entrepreneur; and a long-standing advocate for women. (Although it was her idea for it to be wet!).

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019

Her career has spanned four decades. And although she retired from the runways in 1989; she continues to outpace some of her youngest peers both in relevancy and ad pages. Most recently doing campaigns for Valentino and Balmain.

‘My plan is just loose. It’s kind of weird, because I’ve worked all my life, from when I was 14 years old… I’ve stumbled into things; or things found me. So now I’m at a stage where i’ll just see what happens.’

Read more of Eric Wilson’s profile of the supermodel at [our website online].”

IMAN Covers InStyle March 2019 Issue

So really, how did the wet tee shirt thing come about? It’s such a sexy move and InStyle’s Fashion News Director, Eric Wilson had the full scoop! Wilson reveals,

“About that time I had to ask IMAN why she decided to pose in a wet T-shirt for the cover of InStyle. ‘I suggested it,’ she told me. ‘I’m 63 — why would I have a Supreme T-shirt? It’s just a boring T-shirt. It’s too young and too hip.

So (on the set) I said, jokingly, ‘Why don’t we get it wet?’ And as I said it, everybody said, ‘Yeah!’ I was like, “F&%&, now I have to deliver.'”

Sounds juicy. Also, Eric says there is more to the story. So get the details on that as well as the rest of interview at www.instyle.com/celebrity/iman-march-feature.

Sounds action packed! Nevertheless, how is Winnie feeling about her latest cover? Well, the model shares how emphasis was put on natural hair and styling. Harlow reveals,

“I got to shoot this cover with a group of my SUPER TALENTED friends! So much fun and so much talent on set. Thank you Petr Matejcek and ELLE Czech for letting us experiment on this shoot.

Not often do I allow my natural hair to be used for work because I’m about protecting my kinks and curls from damage; (if you knew the struggle). It was amazing to have one of my main hair dressers who specializes in black hair booked to achieve this intricate updo with my natural hair which is such a different look for me!”
