Fashion Lookbook By DeAnna S. Reid Featuring Clothes Minded Boutique

Arianne Suggs September 28, 2015September 28, 2015Leave a Comment

Photographer DeAnna S. Reid has once again captured a cool fashion vibe. Reid lensed a shoot in Phoenix, Arizona featuring couture from Clothes Minded Boutique (yeah, we absolutely adore the pun too). Reid called upon the talents of model, Samantha Daniels to bring her voguish vision to life!

The overall look showcases how to make the over-sized, baggy style streamlined and chic. If you are afraid of losing your curves then accentuate or create some with the help of some well placed accessories. For this look in particular Daniels’ waist was highlighted with the help of a belt. Moreover, a few buttons were left undone near the top of her shirt to show off a little skin. Lastly, a gorgeous designed necklace brings the whole outfit together seamlessly.

Plaid always works well during the fall and winter seasons. It is a very relaxed style but still adds some pizazz due thanks to its print design as well as colors. Pair a plaid top with shorts, tights, pants or skirts and you have a simplistic yet modernistic ensemble.

Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear The Blonds

Designer: The Blonds

On The Runway: Powder puff girls gone wild was the scene of this show. You can’t help but join in the fun at the Blonds runway show. It’s over the top, outlandish, bold and borderline bonkers but we love it. The Blonds don’t care, they go to the beat of their own drum. So if you like a lot of metallic, glitter and bustiers you’ve come to the right show.

Collection: Sophie Theallet S/S 2016 – NYFW

Designer: Sophie Theallet

Models Who Walked the Show: Veronica Webb, Lula Kenfe, Mari Agory, Leomie Anderson and Sessilee Lopez

On The Runway: It was a “dream of Africa,” as Theallet references her collection. There were textures of burlap, lace and a heck of a lot of snakeskin. This collection is literally my favorite right now from the S/S16 season. Theallet doesn’t miss a beat. From head to toe, from stitching to the hem line is just perfection. The color palette is divine and the styling is superb. Forever in love with Theallet.

Fashionable Mention: Marc Jacobs Decadence

Arianne Suggs September 15, 2015September 15, 2015Leave a Comment

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no it is just the coolest fragrance design you have ever seen! We love when designers step outside the box and create a full on masterpiece. Of course half the reason fragrances sale so well is due to their captivating and alluring notes. However, for some of us a perfume’s overall packaging can also sway us to have the register ringing.

We are loving Marc Jacobs newest fragrance Decadence which comes packaged as a chic purse-shaped bottle. Jacobs says he wanted his fragrance to truly be indulgent. Indulgence means the act or practice of gratifying a desire or passion. Decadence includes sensuous notes of Bulgarian rose, papyrus woods as well as Italian plum. So then, give in to your desire to have one decadent fragrance.

Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Jeremy Scott

Designer: Jeremy Scott

Models Who Walked the Show: Riley Montana, Kai Newman, Leomie Anderson and Cindy Bruna

On The Runway: Ok is it just us or is this Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Jeremy Scott collection giving you vibes of the movie “Mars Attack”. Jeremy Scott delivers once again with his outlandish attires down the runway that leaves you in somewhat of bewilderment. Yet I did love the sort of 70s vibe we were getting through this collection and the of plenty midriff tops. So at least we know Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus will have plenty of things to choose from for there next shows. Other than that who would wear this. Would you wear any of the pieces? Let us know.

Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Thom Browne

Alicia Suggs September 15, 2015September 15, 2015Leave a Comment

Collection: Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Thom Browne

Designer: Thom Browne

Models Who Walked the Show: Adau Mornyang, Lula Kenfe, Milan Dixon and Shamone Edwards.

On The Runway: Soooo. This collection was over the top, kooky and eccentric but in a strange way you just have to love it. To be able to put all these extremes together from the makeup to the two braids sticking straight in the air and yet still have the clothes do the talking is a true art-form. I could really see many people flocking to grab these pieces off the runway, you may dial it down a bit but the core designs are really solid in craftsmanship.

Tommy Hilfiger S/S 2016 – NYFW

Collection: Tommy Hilfiger S/S 2016

Designer: Tommy Hilfiger

Models Who Walked the Show: Tami Williams, Lineisy Montero, Alecia Morais, Leomie Anderson, Jasmine Tookes, Aaya Jones, Imaan Hammam, Kai Newman, Karly Loyce andAmilna estevão

On The Runway: I’m not sure if Tommy Hilfiger is still trying to get on our good side with the black community, but I will say that this collection is a good step in the right direction. I have never seen him use so many models of color that it’s quite shocking. The collection was great and a bit different from what we usually see from Mr. Hilfiger. The vibe was quite Jamaican, safari islander girl. The crochet pieces with the use of ethnic prints and colors were spectacular yet still had the refinement of a true Hilfiger collection. Bravo!!
