The Brandon Maxwell Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign dives into the creative process of bringing a collection to the masses.

Brandon Maxwell Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign Starring Joan, Maria and Lameka

In fashion visuals are everything. For his latest campaign Maxwell utlizes both videos and photography to highlight his designs. Regarding details as well as the inspiration behind the campaign, Brandon Maxwell says,

“Introducing the first in a series of six videos for our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign, starring Joan Smalls. I’ve never set out to do a traditional campaign. In many ways these projects begin less as a vehicle to sell the clothing and more as a therapeutic exercise. To help me gain a deeper understanding of the industry within I work. Maintain some sense of self and to stay steady on the path in search for something I know to be true.

Each season’s campaigns are meant to show my world through my eyes. In this instance it’s the castings, the fittings, process, the way I see it. A world where the women are cast as much for their brains, personality, and dedication as they are for their beauty. Our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign features six incredible women that I have had the pleasure to get to know and work with on many projects over the years.

These are the women that bring our clothes to life. I think it’s important to hear their stories. To understand that they are more than just what they seem on the runway, and in a way, so are the clothes. They are garments that are meant to be lived in, and that have a purpose.

In all the clothes there is a space left for the woman. The power, the confidence, the unwavering sense of self. In their company, I am somehow able to find strength within myself at the time that I need it the most.”

Beauty Insider: Blinc Cosmetics Reveals How to Get Perfect Eyeliner Line

Arianne Suggs July 18, 2017July 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Are your eyeliner skills “shaky” at best? Is a stick figure your idea of an artwork masterpiece? It’s okay, most of us do not emerge from the womb knowing how to wield beauty tools like nobody’s business. The good thing is that even if you are not “born with it;” you can enhance your makeup application skills with the right tips. Case in point, today’s Beauty Insider: Blinc Cosmetics Reveals How to Get Perfect Eyeliner Line!

Beauty Insider: Blinc Cosmetics Reveals How to Get Perfect Eyeliner Line

We always love receiving tips and tricks straight from the pros themselves. Blinc Cosmetics kindly spilled the deets on how a gal can get that bomb eyeliner line. They state,

“To get the perfect eyeliner line, look down and pull your lid to the side. It doesn’t matter if you start from the outside in or the other way around. The key is drawing your line a little at a time.

If you try to line your eye in one fell swoop, it will likely be uneven. To avoid that, drag your liner across your lid slowly and in short spurts.

For an everyday look that is effortless but elegant; we suggest only lining your eyelids with a dark color, and using a lighter nude or white on the inner corners. This will make your eyes appear brighter and more awake. 8 colors are available on blincinc.com!”

Thank you Blinc Cosmetics! We look forward to more awesome makeup tips. Be sure to check out Blinc online for awesome products.

ERDEM x HM Ad Campaign Starring Imaan Hammam and Neels Visser

Arianne Suggs July 17, 2017July 17, 2017Leave a Comment

When we first heard that ERDEM and HM were coming together for a collaboration we lost our fashion marbles. Then, the pot got even sweeter. We learned that the ERDEM x HM collection would not just include fashions for the ladies, but would prove to be quite historic. ERDEM x HM would also mark the first ever menswear collection for the UK label. Brilliant!

ERDEM x HM Ad Campaign Starring Imaan Hammam and Neels Visser

The campaign for this upcoming couture release stars two of the hottest names in fashion, models Imaan Hammam and Neels Visser. Both supermodels took a moment to alert their fans of the campaign along with the collection’s tentative release. They stated,

“So happy to announce my new campaign with ERDEM and HM. It’s been a pleasure to work with this incredible team! Can’t wait to see it in stores this Fall!

-Imaan Hammam

“I’m very excited to announce my new campaign with ERDEM x HM! It has been so amazing to work with such a talented team on this. Can’t wait to see it in stores this fall! To see the full look I’m wearing and more previews of the collection, peep HM and ERDEM.”

-Neels Visser

Now with many collaborations between fashion houses and HM; they are not always readily available in all markets. A little unfair, but with the way many stores are closing we do not blame HM for keeping things rather limited. In regards to this collection HM says, “We do not have a list of stores that will carry the collection just yet. Please check back as we get closer to the launch date, November 2nd. More information will follow later via social media. Keep an eye on the website and subscribe for the newsletter for any updates.”

So if you want to get a piece of this collection keep the month of November close in mind. Also, hit up the HM social page on the Gram and of course, 1966 Magazine for any additional updates.

Fashionable Mention: Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses

Arianne Suggs July 17, 2017July 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Is geek chic making a fashion trend comeback? In a word, yes! The sophisticated and classic look is all over runway shows for designers and fashion houses such as Dolce and Gabbana. Moreover, early BTS shots of the Fendi FW17 ad campaign reveal Karl Lagerfeld directing model, Gigi Hadid while she rocks glasses with bold frames. Therefore, there is no better time to invest in a pair of stylish glasses in order to be en vogue. What is a design that is sure to set you apart from the rest of the crowd? Check out today’s Fashionable Mention: Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses.

Fashionable Mention: Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses

The Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses are a refreshing mix of modern and retro style. The glasses reach back into the glory days of fashion with it’s stunning cat-eye shape. Yet, thanks to its sleek design it is able to look exclusive, swank and current.

One styling question we have been asked about in the past, is regarding if any additional accessories can be worn if one does choose to wear glasses. The fear is often that too many accessories can look “heavy,” overdone or less coordinated. However, that is not the case. Glasses do not need to limit you to wearing just glasses.

For instance, in the Dita Eyewear SS17 ad campaign pictured within this post the model is styled with large hoop earrings as well as septum jewelry. This illustrates that additional jewelry can be incorporated. Nevertheless, a good rule of thumb is to use the frames as a guideline. If the frames are striking then opt for jewelry that is less elaborate. This way none of the accessories will compete for attention; they will simply compliment each other.
