Imagine running in a shoe that literally leaves nothing but air beneath your feet. Sound farfetched? Having a bit of a Marty McFly “in the future” fashion moment? Well, the new Nike tech is pioneering an innovative design making the impossible possible. In the just released Nike Kiss My Air Ad Campaign Starring Winnie Harlow Nike reveals their Nike Air Vapormax. Kicks that are extremely lightweight, comfy, supportive yet with stretch. Ladies welcome to a new era!

How did Nike achieve more air? Their new shoe contains a cushioning system which provides the wearer with more bounce as well as flexibility. Moreover, there are absolutely no additional structural elements (no foam layer) which results in nothing but air being found underfoot. Cool right?

Well, making a an awesome product is one thing. However, choosing the right face and personage to market such product is another. Nike shared why chose model Winnie Harlow to bring the Vapormax to the masses. Nike states,

“When you refuse to be held down by convention, even the ground starts feeling a lot like Air. Whether she’s killing the runway or challenging perceptions of beauty in her industry, Winnie Harlow defies standards to set her own. Measure up to yourself, never others. Nike Air Vapor Max Asphalt is here.”

Nike Kiss My Air Ad Campaign Starring Winnie Harlow – Model Celebration

We are always happy to see more models of color have the opportunity shine bright in a brand’s ad campaign. Winnie Harlow is just as excited about this particular accomplishment. Harlow explains,

“I can’t believe this… I have a Nike campaign. One of my ultimate goals in life and I really didn’t think I’d accomplish it so soon. But by the grace of God, I am really apart of the Nike family and I’m so honored.

I’ve seen my face on billboards and in Times Square and it’s always such a special feeling. But my heart jumped when I passed Nike and saw my hard work plastered and blown up for everyone to see on the inside and outside of the stores. Thank you guys for continuing to allow me to inspire. Thank you to my team for believing in me and thank Nike for welcoming me to the Fam.”

Congratulations Winnie on the ad campaign it is so well-deserved! Want to cop a pair of Nike’s new Air Vapor Max Asphalt shoe? It is available now! A pair will cost you around $260 plus tax.

Fashion Scene: The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams

Arianne Suggs April 28, 2017April 28, 2017Leave a Comment

Pharrell Williams is talented beyond compare, but he is certainly known for two things… music and fashion! Williams can always be spotted at the hottest music red carpet events as well as couture runway designer shows. Furthermore, he is constantly touted for his personal style and pizzazz in numerous men’s style mags. Therefore, it is no surprise to see him now stepping once again into the fashion spotlight front and center. The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams is taking fall/winter trends by storm!

Fashion Scene: The Chanel Gabrielle Bag Campaign Starring Pharrell Williams

We are reminded of a Seinfeld episode when Jerry is carrying an “European handbag” to transport all his daily valuables. Jerry loved it and it made something else very clear. Men have things they want to have on them when going around town just as much as us ladies. However, it seems that men are not always thought of in this way.

Most bags on the market are exclusively made with women in mind. This campaign by Chanel is attempting to give men more chic choices when it comes to bags. Is this a look all men would enjoy? Probably not, many guys still enjoy more of a briefcase design or a bag with small handles that they can carry by hand. However, if one prefers straps they will definitely enjoy the comfort level of swinging something over their shoulder and going about their activities.

Pharrell is the first man to be featured in a Chanel bag campaign. The campaign’s film short was directed by Antoine Carlier. Get a peek of it below.

Arianne Suggs March 23, 2017March 23, 2017Leave a Comment

Right off the presses… models Imaan Hamman, Dilone and Aamito Lagum Cover Allure April 2017 Issue! We are over here screaming over all the fabulousness our eyes are enjoying in regards to this upcoming April edition. Allure is using not one, but three gorgeous models of color in order to highlight “the Beauty of Diversity.” Ugh, love it!

Imaan Hamman, Dilone and Aamito Lagum Cover Allure April 2017 Issue

From Tinseltown to the fashion industry, one hot topic has been that of diversity. For years there have been those that have helped break down walls and open doors thanks to their undeniable talent as well as work ethic. The work of such ones is never in vain. If anything their work is really paying dividends.

More and more platforms are beginning to not only show more diverse looks but honor them. Allure magazine is stepping up to the plate to keep the discussion and positive vibes going. Furthermore, it looks like they hit a home run!

The editorial spread as well as cover featuring models Aamito Lagum, Dilone and Imaan Hamman is beyond breathtaking. From the fashions used to style them, to their insane stunning complexions beauty in a range of shades is definitely captured. Moreover, don’t even get us started about their natural hair looks. Can you say bomb dot com?

Allure April 2017 Issue

Allure’s April issue is absolutely amazing, but then the question can be begged, why create such an journal centered on diversity? What served as their motivation or inspiration behind this issue? Allure explains:

“Our skin is so much more than a reflection in the mirror. Our skin is a metaphor that defines how we are seen and how we see ourselves. For our April 2017 issue (featuring models Dilone, Imaan Hamman and Aamito Lagum on the cover!), [we] asked 41 women of color to tell us the story of their lives through their skin and skin tone. Because our skin can be both a vulnerability and a defense. But most importantly, it can be a source of celebration.”

Yes, let’s definitely continue to celebrate and see beauty in all shades! Have you seen the Beauty of Diversity editorial photographed by Patrick Demarchelier? It’s definitely a must see and is sprinkled throughout this post. Enjoy loves!

Arianne Suggs February 9, 2017February 9, 2017Leave a Comment

Lady in reddddddd! We hope you sang that AND we hope you are just as excited as we are that Solange Covers Elle Magazine March 2017 Issue! Solange has definitely come into her own as an artist and it is great to see more and more embracing her vibes. Moreover, for years we have felt she is also underrated when it comes to being a style risk taker. She’s not afraid to try anything and is always fun to see on a red carpet. For these reasons and more Solange makes and deserves to be the fabulous cover girl she is!

Solange Covers Elle Magazine March 2017 Issue

For the March edition of ELLE Solange talks about a little bit of everything. She dives into music, love, her ambitions, art and her huge 2016 album. Regarding creating her wildly successful music she stated,

“Writing felt like this insular thing that I could go back in my room and express all that I would observe. [Also] all the emotions that would arise. It felt like mine, my little thing.”

Salamishah Tillet who is a scholar, professor at the University of Pennsylvania and activist shared thoughts on Solange. Inside the March issue Tillet gives her views regarding A Seat at the Table. She says,

“A Seat at the Table boldly channels the contradictions of our moment. The stew of pride, disappointment, vulnerability, and anger that African Americans are experiencing. In an era marked as much by the election of our first black president as the murder of young black people.

[Nevertheless] the record is sweeping in its reckoning with the nation’s vexed racial past and present. Furthermore its intimate and unexpectedly gentle.”

How did A Seat at the Table make you feel? Get the full scoop and check out Solange’s chic editorial when the ELLE March issue hits stands!

Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 17, 2017January 16, 2017Leave a Comment

So many awesome campaigns are being revealed on the daily we can barely catch our breath! The model of century has done it again with yet another stunning ad campaign. Nevertheless, this time it’s double trouble because she is sharing the limelight with a very handsome co-star. Let us tell more about Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign.

Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign

She could wear a sack and we’d still buy it! Luckily, Naomi Campbell is working it in a chic collection of denim. Campbell is apart of the Givenchy family slash gang and was chosen for the Spring/Summer 2017 ad campaign. Campbell commented on her latest project stating, “Meet the new Givenchy jeans SS17 (Spring/Summer 2017) pinups. I love you Riccardo Tisci, thank you for always pushing me out of my comfort zone for another great project.”

Miss Campbell out of her comfort zone? Seems so far fetched since she always dazzles us with her body of work. However, when you ponder her statement it does start to make a lot of sense. As they say in order to be great you have to step outside your own box. Therefore, Naomi proves that unless you change you will remain the same.

Nonetheless, in the ad campaign Naomi shares camera time with male model, Justin Levy. The pair’s chemistry is electric with both serving face as well as amazing physiques. The renown and extremely talented Carine Roitfeld styled the campaign with the fabulous photog duo, Luigi and Lango creating art behind the lense. Kudos to all involved everything came out exquisitely!
