Wow, it seems like several noted black musicians are bringing some serious heat to the fashion industry! Ciara gets a nod from Topshop, Rihanna begins to front Stance and now Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson had an announcement of her very own. JHud is now the face of New York & Company’s SOHO Jeans.

Hudson looked beyond cute for the launch party celebrating her momentous new job position . We loved the retro hair touch that she added to her denim on denim ensemble which is a very hot trend right now. Jennifer incorporated a headscarf aka bandana to complete her chic head-to-toe look. Bandana’s are a great hair accessory to hold hair in place or simply change up a classic. We love the short cut that Hudson is rocking yet the addition of the scarf helped her hairstyle take on a new life. This one little and simple accessory cause her to morph from edgy to sassy girly-girl.

The collection that Jennifer Hudson will be the face of is a quite affordable with all pieces being under $70. If you wish that you had lived during the disco era or are hoping that there really is a Doc out there creating a DeLorean time machine so that you can return to that decade then you’re going to love these jeans. The entire collection was inspired and designed with the 70’s solely in mind. Groovy baby!

Rihanna Wants You to Upgrade Your Sock Game With Stance

Rihanna Wants You to Upgrade Your Sock Game With Stance

Our favorite model/singer of all time has a new fashion venture that is just simply cool. How many celebrities out there are choosing to endorse socks? Better yet, how many could lend one’s name to a sock brand and make them look like the must-have accessory of the season? We have to say it, but most likely only Rihanna!

Just days ago RiRi released an attention grabbing music video for her music chart hit BBHMM that had everyone talking. Now the trendy, sassy star is the newest face aka Punk and Poet for Stance socks and the brand couldn’t be happier to have her on board. The Vice President of the women’s division of Stance, Candy Harris spilled the beans on why Rihanna was their obvious choice. She said,

“She’s one of the few women in fashion whose style can go from street to couture in the blink of an eye.”

Rihanna Wants You to Upgrade Your Sock Game With Stance3

Yeah, just think back on any look by Rihanna whether on a red carpet or on the streets of any another country and it is clear that she just gets “It.” Rihanna oozes a fashion and style appeal that makes even a pink dress that looks like a cupcake seem like the perfect prom dress.However, even though she is one of the few that can get away with wearing a paper sack… socks? Harris revealed,

“I know a lot of people are probably saying ‘Why socks? And that’s really the beauty of it, and that’s why Rihanna’s perfect, because she’s constantly innovating and looking to see what’s next. Socks are not really a trend; they’re a fashion staple.”

After that statement, it does make you have an Aha moment doesn’t it? Think about it, when is the last time someone said, “Oh you are wearing socks? Girl that was so two seasons ago!” We are sure you would be hard pressed to think of a conversation that went like that. Nevertheless, that proves the point that socks are not swayed by time, trends or any other fashion movement. They never go out of style, everyone wears them and they are really an untapped market.

Rihanna Wants You to Upgrade Your Sock Game With Stance2

While numerous celebrities are sticking to fragrances, typical fashion lines and hair extensions Rihanna has once again emerged as a true out of the box fashion thinker. For the Murder Rih Wrote (yeah, that’s sock collection name and we love the pun) ad campaign Rihanna seems to mix retro with modern chic due the styling of her hair as well as makeup and the edgy display and vibe of the socks. So then, what is the inspiration behind Rihanna’s first design of socks for Stance? Stance mentioned on their Instagram that,

“Every bad girl knows $$ makes the world go round, @badgalriri‘s first ever collab sock pays tribute to those who know how to hustle as hard as she does.”

Therefore, all the boss ladies of the world unite because we are getting some recognition! Over the past decade Rihanna has proven that hard work and dedication does get you places; especially if you are willing to take a Stance for what you truly believe in.

Rihanna Wants You to Upgrade Your Sock Game With Stance4

Fashion Notes: For the past few years runway models have been spotted coming the catwalk with socks and heels. As during those shows, Rihanna’s ad shows that the look doesn’t just have to remain in elementary school. Socks and heels can look just as sexy with the right attitude and vibes. Would you wear it?

Kendrick Lamar Wants to End Gang Rivalry Through Fashion

Kendrick Lamar Wants to End Gang Rivalry Through Fashion

Some of us were either too little or not even alive to remember all the horrors and violence that surrounded two rival gangs… the Bloods and the Crips. However, for those that witnessed the blood spilled out between the two it is a war that you probably will never forget. Things have been much calmer than in times past, but the problem is that both gangs still exist. Where there is a flame there can come to be a fire so it is best to snuff out any remnants. Therefore, can true peace finally be achieved between these two long-time enemies?

Kendrick Lamar Wants to End Gang Rivalry Through Fashion3

Hip hop artist Kendrick Lamar would like to think so and has even taken action to bring on the unity, something Queen Latifah rapped about back in the day. Lamar is using fashion to make a statement. Kendrick Lamar has teamed up with the good people at Reebok to create the Ventilator “Blue & Red” Sneaker that will debut on July 18th. The sneakers have a very simple and neutral design with the exception of having the two signature colors of the Bloods (red) and Crips (blue). Could it be so easy that a little fashion could end a hateful rivalry between two L.A. gangs? Only time will tell, but its nice to see someone aiming for a better tomorrow.
