Axel Arigato x Samsung -Tech Meets Fashion With Help of Teyana Taylor

You probably can see right through this ad campaign (wink, wink). Thus far, early previews of the type of couture to expect from the Axel Arigato x Samsung mix up is leaving little to the imagination. In the campaign singer and entertainer, Teyana Taylor, poses in plastic couture reminiscent of the decade that was the 90s. Remember transparent bags and Diddy as well as Ma$e dancing in plastic joggers (if not; Google it’s fab)? Well, that is coming back with fervor yet with a bit of a modern twist.

Teyana’s full body ensemble incorporates a stylish, yet revealing pant and hoodie. The Swedish brand informs that more looks are definitely on the way; and couture lovers can expect the full collection to roll out in three phases.

The collection will first be available to the edgy, fashion conscious in London beginning on September 7th. Next up, the good people of Stockholm will get their shot at the line on September 14th. Lastly, all the rest of us mortals will finally be able to see and get our hands on pieces and garments from the capsule starting on September 17th. Axel Arigato says that on the 17th the entire collection will be online. Sweet.

Axel Arigato x Samsung -Tech Meets Fashion With Help of Teyana Taylor (Continued)

This team up as well as the resulting fashions are quite fitting. Why so? Well, for over a year now Samsung’s growing infamous tagline is, “Do What You Can’t.” Roving around the streets in see through clothing certainly fits that bill.

Furthermore, the collaboration between Samsung and Axel Arigato is aptly entitled, I Can See Clearly Now. A nice play off every smartphone owner’s dream of being able to hear, see and talk to anyone with their phone without interruption.

Already, tech fans are wondering if this collab also means amazing clear accessories or even a clear phone design. As epic as that sounds we will all just have to keep our eyes peeled when the capsule officially drops. Nonetheless, by the looks of things it is definitely going to be, wait for it… legendary.

Ask and Tell: Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Ensemble

ArianneUpdated on August 28, 2018August 28, 2018

The Item: Athlete and fashion designer, Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Couture Ensemble. Serena fashionably made waves on the court during her match with Magda Linette.

You Asked: I have been so upset ever since I heard about the whole cat suit ban thing. I think it is awful that they still will not just let Serena be. So of course I was curious to see what she might wear. Happy she is winning and her outfit is very cool. Can you please tell me who is the designer of it?

Ask and Tell: Serena Williams 90th U.S. Open Match Win Ensemble

The Verdict: Thank you for your message and we can completely understand your frustration over the black bodysuit. Which actually was designed to help prevent blood clots, a situation that almost killed her after giving birth to her daughter. Nevertheless, Nike and Off White came together in order to create another iconic look for the tennis superstar.

In a collaborative effort, Nike and Off White designed a ballet asymmetrical ballet dress, leather jacket as well as a matching AKA QUEEN tennis bag. That bag is already getting tons of hits alone. Once and if these two brands decide to release it to the public for purchase we are sure it will sell out in record fashion.

Fashion IS art. For their September 2018 edition Harpers Bazaar Pays Homage to Vladmir Tretchikoff; a Russian visionary who’s dazzling artwork still captivates and mesmerizes decades later. The editorial entitled, “The Female Gaze” is a multi-page spread that stars top models, Maria Borges as well as the lovely Xin Xie.

Harpers Bazaar Pays Homage to Vladmir Tretchikoff Starring Maria Borges

Vladimir’s artistry is well-known for it’s vibrancy, vividness; and of course alluring beauty. Tretchikoff’s stunning array of portraits at times captured the essence and spirit of women from across Africa as well as Asia. Another draw to his work is that he always seemed to make the woman in his paintings ooze with regal flair.

The Female Gaze magazine editorial recreates several famous Tretchikoff pieces including: Balinese Girl, Zulu Girl and Chinese Girl (1952). Maria Borges is the muse for the Balinese as well as Zulu masterpieces.

Fashion Notes: For the recreation of Balinese Girl, Maria Borges wears a stunning headwrap garment that is a design of Eric Javits. Javits is the designer behind several infamous celebrity headpieces and hats. Including those worn by Beyoncé, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Serena Williams, Chanel Iman and Mary J. Blige. He is also the ingenious designer behind Naomi Campbell’s golden Balinese headpiece seen at the amfAR event.
