We spotted stunning model Grace Bol working her stuff for the Rick Owens Faun SS15 collection. Bol looks sophisticated and statuesque as her hand delicately holds her dress and eyes peer deeply towards the camera. Grace adds a softness to the intricate design which encapsulates femininity with edge.

100 Years of Black Beauty Under a Minute!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 19, 2015January 19, 2015Leave a Comment

If we are going to develop whip lash it might as well be in the name of beauty. Can you imagine what you could see after 100 years have passed? No doubt fashions and styles would have changed numerous times as well as trends. Cut.com’s new video, “100 Years of Beauty: Marshay” is a time lapse film featuring popular black female hairstyles and beauty looks spanning from 1910 to 2010. Director Michael Gaston and editor Blaine Ludy revealed that the 59-second video took three completely separate shoots to complete. This video is fitting with Black History month being just around the corner so it’s cool to see a quick review of our striking appearance. Let’s continue to let our intelligence, sophistication as well as beauty continue to shine brightly for the next 100 years and beyond.

Fashionable Mention: Isamaya Ffrench Creates Lego Masks For Agi & Sam

This was just too cool to pass up so we HAD to write about it. Legendary makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench is a chip off the old block (sorry we couldn’t help it LOL) and created Lego Masks for the Agi & Sam fashion show. Lego masks protruded from the model’s faces as they walked the catwalk with some masks simply outlining facial features while other Lego designs completely covered them. The designs were very fitting for the “Coolman” collection and we loved the ‘out of the box’ concept.

Alright, alright, alright, alrighttttttt! Major props and accolades for the Oliver Spencer Fall/Winter 2015 Collection. The couture found in this runway show is relaxed chic at its finest. From the use of fabrics including lambswool and cashmere to the slightly over-sized fits everything looked tailored yet unrestrained. The looks are for the guy who’s confident, collected and nonchalant. We loved the bold suits, bomber jackets as well as cropped trousers. Wonderful fashions from start to finish and congratulations on an amazing show!

Nasir Mazhar Autumn Winter 2015 Fashion Show

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

London has been set ablaze with fiery hot menswear fashion shows. Besides all of the male eye candy the couture is getting us just as warm under our stylish collars. The Nasir Mazhar Autumn/Winter 2015 collection gave us a slight late 90’s vibe when hip hop artists were wearing those puffed up, shiny ensembles. If you don’t remember or were not alive slide on over to google and look up Diddy as well as Mase then get back to us. The fashions were very bold and in your face, so if your man loves to be seen he will love this collection. One of our favorite pieces from the collection were a pair of green and black sporty looking pants. They looked comfy but had really neat panel detailing that gave them a cool flair.

Fashionable Mention: Top Hats

Break away from the beanies, snap-backs as well as fedoras and opt for a total out of the box look…the top hat. Top hats may be a more male-driven fashion, however the accessory can look just as elegant and sophisticated on women. We spotted the top hat during an equestrian themed runway show for fall/winter fashion week in Toronto, Canada. Pair the hat with denim, boots, khakis, blazers, long coats and even a nicely tailored suit. With such a stylish hat you are bound to make a strong fashion statement.
