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!

Collection: Burberry Spring 2016 London Fashion Week

Designer: Christopher Bailey

Models Who Walked the Show: Ysaunny Brito, Lameka Fox, Lineisy Montero, Aamito Lagum, Binx Walton and Imaan Hammam

On The Runway: If it’s not “Baroque Don’t Fix It”. Christopher Bailey delivered again this year for ss16. He doesn’t miss a beat. It’s an art how he is able to have a young “it” girl vibe to his collection yet the girls still look posh and refined. The runway was choke full of lace, sheer garments, plenty of intricate cut-out appliques and of course the Burberry trench which is the only type of trench you should ever have in your closet.

Collection: Opening Ceremony S/S 2016 – NYFW

Designer: Carol Lim, Humberto Leon

Models Who Walked the Show: Amilna Estevão, Ysaunny Brito, Grace Bol andAamito Lagum

On The Runway: The Opening Ceremony S/S 2016 – NYFW collection looked like an art project gone right. It had a sort of collage feel to the clothes in where all the right pieces of fabric molded together to form a beautiful end result. There was a lot of black in this collection but it was offset with burnt orange, hues of cream and banana yellow.

Tome Spring 2016 NYFW

Designer: Ramon Martin and Ryan Lobo

Models Who Walked the Show: Aamito Lagum, Maria Borges, Leomie Anderson, Marihenny Rivera, Herieth Paul and Yasmin Warsame

On The Runway: Artisan flare with eccentric menswear touch. Stripes, trousers and very loose fitting silhouettes which made since because their muse was the pioneering Australian visual artist Fiona Hall. And another running theme we keep seeing on the runway is effortless hair pulled back into messy low bun or hair slicked down pushed off the face.

Aamito Lagum & Senait Gidey Star in W Magazine May 2015 Editorial

Arianne Suggs May 1, 2015May 1, 2015Leave a Comment

Gorgeous models Aamito Lagum and Senait Gidey are serving up some classic vintage glam for W magazine. The pair wears relaxed fashions that include sweaters, chic dress pants, button down tops and bell bottom “flared” pants. The retro feel of the shoot still comes across fresh which makes the couture invoke a more modern twist on the decade that was and the trends that emerged from that moment in time. We really got a kick out of the shoe-wear that although quite boisterous came across muted blending seamlessly with the ensembles as a whole.
