Every wonder what the life of a high-end designer is like? Now you can get a sneak peek along with a preview of some chic fall fashion! The Brandon Maxwell Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign dives into the creative process of bringing a collection to the masses. Moreover, Brandon Maxwell is using an amazing girl gang of models in order to showcase his fab garments. Check out Joan Smalls, Maria Borges, Lameka Fox along with Charlee Fraser, Andreea Diaconu and Romee Strijd in the new photo/video campaign!

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.”

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.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides Spring / Summer 2017

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 27, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Rihanna just seems to know how to speak fashion as well as lazy comfort. The iconic stylish risk taker has not yet failed in any of her shoe designs. From the constantly needing to be restocked Creepers to her Slides every last shoe has sold out. With a track record like that it is safe to say another best seller is here! Get ready to slide into summer with the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides from the Spring / Summer 2017 Collection.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides Spring / Summer 2017

The Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides are part child nostalgia and part ingenious design. Especially, when it comes to us girls. Yes, we love to torture our peds and ankles with heels that resemble medieval torture devices. However, at other times we just want a comfortable shoe to slide into and call it a day.

Case in point, the wild popularity of the UGG boot. Easy to put on, and a true gift from heaven for any relaxed, sweatpants/cramps from H-E double hockey sticks day. Jellies fall right into this wonderful category.

Fenty x Puma helped stir up even more excitement about the new jelly slides stating, “Introducing a new slide to the Fenty x Puma by Rihanna Collection. The Jelly Slide features a Puma logo on a textured, all over Jelly Strap and a whimsical diamond pattern outside.”

So far consumers who have purchased the jellies say that they love them. However, we have to agree it is a little fashionably depressing over the limited amount of colors available. So far you can get a pair in blue, black or pink.

Nevertheless, if the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides sell well we are sure Rih with hit us with a round too of additional hues. So then, hang in there more is probably on the way. For now cop yourself a pair now for $90.

Nike Kiss My Air Ad Campaign Starring Winnie Harlow!

Arianne May 9, 2017May 9, 2017Leave a Comment

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!

Nike Kiss My Air Ad Campaign Starring Winnie Harlow

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.
