Arianne Suggs November 19, 2015November 19, 2015Leave a Comment

We would like to welcome Deanna S. Reid back into the 1966 house as she introduces us to some more amazing fashions this time by Woman’s Touch Apparel. We had the amazing opportunity to interview Deanna and she spilled the deets on everything from photography to fashion. Enjoy and don’t forget to scroll to see more of her editorial look book.

1966: What was the inspiration or deciding factor that motivated you to enter the world of photography?

Deanna R.: My father bought me my first point and shoot camera when I was in middle school. I always snapped pictures with family and friends. In college, I bought my first professional camera and shot my best friend’s audition photos for America’s Next Top Model. From there I started learning the technical aspects of photography from other photographers and online tutorials.

1966: Have you always had a love or passion for taking photos?

Deanna R.: Photography has always been my passion but now it is my goal to pursue it. I’m at the point in my life where my passion for the work is undeniable. The urge to progress is constant.

1966: We absolutely love your fashion editorial pieces, are there any challenges to getting the perfect shot?

Deanna R.: The challenge is not finding the right shot. The challenge or rather the excitement is finding the connection to the subject that builds the momentum to the shots that we want. It’s a collaborative effort.

1966: We can’t get enough of the “Bad Gal” tee but what was your favorite fashion piece from the shoot?

Deanna R.: My favorite piece was the Bad Gal Crop Top Out of Africa Edition. The print is bold and fun!

1966: Lastly Deanna, if you could photograph any celebrity from now or the past, who would it be and why?

Deanna R.: Sorry I can’t choose one celebrity lol. I would do a collaborative shoot with Erykah Badu and Solange. They are beautiful women who embrace individuality and creativity in music and fashion.

Fashionable Mention: Balmain X H&M Cotton and Leather Shoes With Metal Detailing

Arianne Suggs November 5, 2015November 5, 2015Leave a Comment

Let us not forget boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen that today marks a fashion moment that shall definitely go down in history as being one of the best couture pairings ever. For months on our style calendars we have waited out for time to pass so that November 5th would finally be upon us at long last. Why is today so awesome when it comes to being “en vogue?”

The Balmain X H&M collaboration is finally available to the masses for purchase. One item that we definitely want to cop ASAP before stores run out is the Balmain X H&M Cotton and Leather Shoe With Metal Detailing. These heels which retails for $199 are right on trend for the season and will give your various ensembles the perfect chic boost. Just scroll through this post to see all of the different outfits that were paired with these beauties.

Caged style heels are huge right now so if you want to look like a bag of money you will want to indulge in this look. Balmain has been a brand that has been just out of reach for many ladies due to its price point. However, retailers such as H&M understand that the French label’s appeal is a major sale waiting to happen thanks to its cool factor made evident by supermodels, bloggers, celebrities, social media models and the like.

Besides stunning shoes, you will be able to get your fashion hands on Balmain’s infamous sequined dresses, beaded coats and jackets as well as gold and black tops. Nonetheless, our final thoughts on word on the caged heels is that it is a very versatile design. This means you can wear them with dresses, pants, jumpsuits and skirts which will go a long way in getting your money’s worth.

Fashionable Mention: Versace Men’s S/S 15 Collection

Arianne Suggs April 24, 2015April 24, 2015Leave a Comment

Toga! Toga! Toga! Versace is known for making men feel like high-ranking kings of the world through impeccable designs and tailoring. Nevertheless, what really caught our eye this season was the beach wear for men. The models coming down the runway embodied Greek Olympian strength and panache that made us want to go put a gold medal around their necks. The overall look may be a little much to translate into the streets but the opulence of the collection is still refreshing to see. Versace proves that swim wear for men can be in the words of Drake, “Fancy.”

DKNY: Spring 2015 RTW

Arianne Suggs March 18, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a Comment

DKNY showed off just how fun fashion can be with their runway show highlighting their spring 2015 RTW collection. Boisterous shades, extra large prints and some serious layering added to the chic allure. We loved this out of the box ensemble that proves that layering can look hip, current and very modern.

Fashion Notes: There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing sneakers with a dress of skirt. Fashion doesn’t always have to be so dressy, keep your look causal with flats or athletic kicks.

Spring 2015 Streetstyle: Sweater + Shorts

Arianne Suggs March 16, 2015March 16, 2015Leave a Comment

As the months continue to roll on towards summer the disrobing effect forges ahead to reveal more and more skin. For spring, Californian attire normally begins to introduce shorts back into the style mix. For instance, this past weekend the sun was out and blazing with temperatures reaching into the 90’s in some areas. The beaches became packed and smooth legs could be seen for miles with the naked eye.

How can you get the Cali spring look? Combine a light off the shoulder sweater with shorts, spaghetti strap tank as well as a pair of boots and you are in the club. This look is California chic at its finest.

Get Your Man Right: Umit Benan S/S 2015 Collection

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 11, 2015Leave a Comment

For today’s Get Your Man Right we pulled a look from the Umit Benan Spring/Summer 2015 Collection. As you notice it has a clean preppy style to it but is a step up from “Carlton of Fresh Prince of Bel Air” to more of Will Smith’s character’s style thanks to the added color in the sweater, pushed up sleeves and backwards hat. If your boy enjoys dressing in a little more upscale fashion but doesn’t want to lose his cool this is the perfect ensemble for him.

2015 Spring Fashion Trend: Baggy Denim

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 10, 2015Leave a Comment

Hip hop artists for years have worn their denim a little on the big side. It has often been up to major debate as to whether pants should stay up or be acceptable to go a little south. Nevertheless, for their spring 2015 runway show DSQUARED showcased models wearing extra baggy denim. The look was very relaxed and upped the cool chic factor by being coupled with bright colors.

Would you wear the baggy denim look? Share your thoughts on our Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr or tweet us @1966magazine.
