Beautiful Black Women: Tessa Thompson Covers The Cut Fall Fashion 2018 Issue

Yes, you will see plenty of fabulous fall fashion in The Cut’s new journal; however, the real meat and potatoes lies in their cover story. What do they talk about with Thompson? The Cut let’s us in on the goods by revealing,

“‘The internet makes everything a ‘thing.’ ‘ Tessa Mae Thompson is our Fall Fashion cover star. The enigmatic actress opens up about her high school playist; catfishing people with her friends; and yes, Janelle Monae. Plus, the most voluminous fall clothes.

The Tessa Thompson discourse lately has been loud and demanding. But the interest in her reached a frenzy when she appeared in Janelle Monae’s video, ‘Pynk.’ She told us, ‘The truth is Janelle and I are both in a space where we’re trying to push boundaries in terms of the idea of what space a woman of color can occupy.'”

Need a date? Well, if you’re Tessa Thompson the last place to look for one would be online. In the latest edition of The Cut Tessa reveals why she admires Greta Garbo, and why she’s skeptical of online dating. In an excerpt from her exclusive with the magazine she states,

“‘I currently don’t have time to date. Also, because dating right now requires that somebody gets on a plane. Which is fine, but that’s a lot to ask when you’re first… It’s a lot of expectation.’

She’s skeptical of online dating; though she admits to once catfishing people with her friends on a dating app; largely as a social experiment. ‘It didn’t go well. We had some passive-aggressive and some just like aggressive messages, being, like, ‘You’re not real!’ And I was like, ‘And you’re right, I’m not!’ Delete.'”

So as you can see, even celebs are adjusting to the new world and whirl of dating. Nonetheless, catch Thompson’s full interview as well as The Cut’s Fall Fashion preview in their spanking new issue out now.

Get Your Man Right: The Tom Ford Atticus Sunglasses

Arianne August 20, 2018August 20, 2018

Men’s fashion should be simply two things: cool and effortless. When a guy can achieve that in his wardrobe, girl… his couture prowess and appeal skyrockets one hundred fold! This is even more true when it comes to accessories such as sunglasses. The right pair can make all the difference in his looks. Which is why today we are selecting the Tom Ford Atticus Sunglasses.

Get Your Man Right: The Tom Ford Atticus Sunglasses

“I don’t want to look too… you know, girly.” If your man has ever said that to you during a fashion discussion he means this: I want to show some brawn. Your dude likes his fashion as strong as his biceps.

Also, plenty of guys out there prefer glasses that have bigger frames, wider lenses, wrap around his head and seem to be quite sturdy. Most likely this is because he doesn’t want to have to buy a new pair anytime soon. Plus, he wants the ability to toss them into his car, gym bag, briefcase or wherever; knowing he can pull them out and put them on to look like a ten.

The Tom Ford Atticus Sunglasses definitely fit all such bills. They have the vibe of ski googles but the chicness of a high fashion model design. Furthermore, they may appear to be sort of “over the top” but can easily pair well with relaxed looks AND more formal wear. Perfect for the guy who wants a style that can go from day to night without him really having to think about it.

Lastly, there is nothing “girly” about these babies. Just edgy, modern and sophisticated. A grown up pair of sunglasses for a guy who wants to elevate his style a tad bit. Get him right by going to www.tomford.com, they retail for $495.

ArianneUpdated on August 1, 2018August 1, 2018

Clothing brand, Woolrich, is teaming up with one of the most influential artists that the music world has ever been privileged to experience. The Lauryn Hill Woolrich American Soul Campaign is a celebration of true American culture. An exclusive campaign that brings to light the very fabric of America that still transcends color and entwines us together… music.

The American Soul campaign is a visual ad showcasing the fashion label’s Fall/ Winter 2018 collection. The collection contains trendy outerwear designs with plaid, fur, graphics and even edgy military green details.

This campaign truly reflects Hill’s personal style. It is like she walked out of a time machine from 1998 till now; never missing a beat. Furthermore, the brand wants to celebrate Lauryn’s major influence on the music industry. Besides breaking records her biggest LP of all time turns 20 years old. In regards to her music and why they chose her for this collaboration Woolrich reveals,

“Connecting with the true narrative of American history; music. Discover American Soul campaign, an exclusive collaboration with Ms. Lauryn Hill shot by Jack Davison.

The music of one American innovator remains one of our most iconic cultural exports. Shot on location in Washington Heights; in homage to Lauryn Hill’s video for ‘Doo Wop (That Thing).’

2018 marks the 20th anniversary of ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,’ the Grammy award-winning; globally renowned album that captured the heart of American culture.”

Lauryn Hill Woolrich American Soul Campaign-Miseducation Turns 20 – The Takeaway

Capture hearts she did indeed. Back in the late nineties, Lauryn became the first female hip hop artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart without any features. A record that stood 19 years until Cardi B.

Moreover, Hill’s influential album also put her on the map at the Grammy’s. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill went on to gain ten nominations and win 5 trophies in one evening. Thus, making Lauryn the first one woman to win five or more Grammy awards in a single night.

Runway Fashion: Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show

ArianneUpdated on July 6, 2018July 6, 2018

Whenever you think of an Iris Van Herpen show you know you are in for masterful drama as well as a level of architectural precision that is light-years ahead of any artisan. The recent Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show did not disappoint. Exquisite tailoring, imaginative patterns as well as mind-blowing lasercut garments radiantly made their way down the dark, shadowy catwalk.

Runway Fashion: Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show

We can only describe this fashion show in one word, mesmerizing. From gowns that float as if they had sprouted wings or drip from a waterfall; to attire reminiscent of iridescent feathers. The entire Iris Van Herpen Fall 2018 collection is just a divine spectacle to behold.

Designer Iris Van Herpen shared a few words regarding the inspiration beyond this extraordinary show. Iris reveals,

“For ‘Syntopia’ I felt inspired by the intricate echoing work of the artists Studio Drift. Their spatial kinetic installation ‘In 20 Steps’ is constructed of 20 delicate glass wings; that represent all the different steps of flying in an abstract way.

The vivacious glass bird flows in symbiosis with the models while they move over the runway. Their delicate interaction emphasizes the fragility of new worlds living and soaring together.”

Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown

Arianne Suggs March 28, 2018March 28, 2018Leave a Comment

All we can say is, “WOW!” The entire Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2018 runway show was a tantalizing affair; however, the closing look stole the attention of everyone in attendance. The vibe, the details, the unspoken allure. Every element just works and brings a certain je ne sais quoi to a collection that is already flawless.

Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown

Hereith Paul, you are a lucky girl! Paul is the gorgeous model that had the honor and pleasure, of wearing the final closing Cushnie et Ochs look. The dress is a showstopper… Glitzy, spell-binding and more gleam than the night sky on a clear night.

Photographs of this garment did not even come close to doing it justice. The gown gets its bling appeal thanks to a little help from Swarowski. This dress in particular incorporates dazzling, strategically placed Swarowski Drop Crystals.

The crystalized look is currently a favorite among designers for the fall 2018 season. We spotted the trend at not just Cushnie et Ochs, but during a number of other fall runway shows. We noted Swarowski elements and jewelry were utilized during collections for: Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu and Rosie Assoulin.

Nevertheless, we foresee the Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown being a red carpet favorite. Immediately, upon seeing it all 1966 staff felt that this is a design that Queen Beyonce would absolutely dominate in at any event. We are reminded of her sheer, embellished gown that she wore to the 2015 Met Ball (see below). This is so her style and one that would land any starlet with an amazing pair of legs on the Best Dressed List. All eyes on you RiRi!
