Served Fresh Turns Simone Manuel Into Little Mermaid!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 17, 2016August 16, 2016Leave a Comment

The hashtag “Black Women Did That” has been on and popping! Especially, during the 2016 Olympics. Moreover, the hashtag committed to instilling confidence in young black girls around the world can add another cool triumph. Olympian Simone Manuel stole hearts as she became the first African American woman to win an individual gold medal in swimming. Served First has figured out an amazing way to capture the moment. Check it out everyone, Served Fresh Turns Simone Manuel Into Little Mermaid!

Served Fresh Turns Simone Manuel Into Little Mermaid

“Out where they walk, out where they run, out where they play all day in the sun!” Most little girls always dream of being a Disney princess. Simone Manuel is now definitely living the dream! In a super cute artwork by clothing brand Served First Manuel is seen chilling “Under the Sea” with Flounder.

In the pic Simone also rocks a crown and a gold medal! Very fitting due to her historic win. Served First recognizes just how huge Manuel’s achievement is and spoke on how they were inspired by it. They said,

“We designed our First Children’s piece aimed at encouraging young women of color that they too can achieve greatness in the face of adversity. The significance of her victory resonates profoundly with us as swimming pools have been a racially sensitive flashpoint in the U.S. for generations.

Historically, African-Americans were often denied access to swimming pools during the segregation era and long thereafter. In fact, we remember quite vividly how an entire pool was drained after actress, Dorothy Dandridge dipped her toe in.

With artwork inspired by the Little Mermaid, our nieces, sisters, cousins and daughters can now showcase their pride and affection for Simone.”

Details – How to Get Yours

The artwork is up for purchase. You can rock a Simone Manuel Little Mermaid tee to show your support of Black Girl Magic. BY THE WAY! We checked out the Served Fresh website in order to get the price of the Simone Manuel t-shirt and found out something cool.

If you order before August 19th Served First has a coupon code you can use to receive 10% off! Just surf over to their site and a pop-up window will show you the way. This is a limited-time offer but once you see some of their other merchandise you will want to put it to good use. From Usain Bolt to Drake there are tons of awesome designs to get into.

The regular Simone Manuel tee will cost you $35.00. Nevertheless, there is also a crewneck version that retails for $78.50. Head to www.servedfreshcollection.com to get yours now.

Rihanna W Magazine September 2016

If we had to guess which celebrity would probably survive if the world came to an end Rihanna would be high on the list. She has mastered the art of truly being herself in an industry full of fabrication. Plus, she has overcome negativity and past lukewarm sales to become one of the biggest artists of all time!

She is deemed a fashion icon and has even surpassed MJ on the charts when it comes to number ones. If she can achieve being one of the last musicians of her “time” to still be relevant over a decade later. Rihanna can definitely be the last woman standing here on earth.

Simply Wow

No one can do it like a badgal. The Rihanna W magazine September 2016 editorial is a moody masterpiece. Photography was lensed by the extremely gifted Steven Klein. Also, styling for the shoot was of course handled by the one and only Edward Enninful.

Nevertheless, we cannot ignore the exquisite makeup looks adorned by Rihanna. The extraordinary beauty looks were designed by the infamous Pat McGrath. Pat went all out even creating 3D art that intensified Rihanna’s facial features. As a result, RiRi seems to pop right off the page and she looks like she missed her calling as a supermodel.

However, don’t just take our word for it. Check out a behind the scene look of Rihanna’s photo shoot.

Furthermore, if you liked that here is the full length version. Also, keep sliding down to see Rihanna’s sick editorial. Enjoy Navy!

The Details

Olivier Rousteing describes the Fall – Winter campaign as “Music Meets Fashion.” Very fitting since an iconic musician and heavily sought after model were both casted. Moreover, West over the years has turned his attention to couture. Thus, bringing the fusion full circle.

Joan Smalls For Balmain

The fabulous Pascal Dangin who blessed the Balmain Fall – Winter 2016 Ad Campaign with his magical fingers took to social to announce the ad’s release. He said,

“First image of our new Balmain campaign FW2016 #BalmainArmy with Kanye West [and] Joan Smalls. Photographed by Steven Klein.”
