Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 6, 2017June 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Can you believe that it is already the 2017 CFDA Awards night? This is one of the fashion industry’s biggest events of the year! Everyone who is anyone makes sure that they come out to play and slay.

Therefore, its time to accept that a full 365 has actually passed us by ushering in yet another amazing evening of stylish flair. However, this disbelief could be because we are still riding high off of Beyonce taking home the CFDA’s Fashion Icon Award just last year. Bey’s pinstriped suit, humongous black hat and acceptance speech had one and all saying, “Long live the Queen!”

Nevertheless, this year’s 2017 CFDA Awards was chalk full of more amazing winners and of course, fabulous couture! Everybody from Scandal‘s Kerry Washington to the always fun to watch style risk taker, Janelle Monae hit the red carpet (actually though, this year it wasn’t rouge). We have the voguish recap you lovers of fashion crave and desire!

Liya Kebede and Imaan Hammam For Vogue Italia April 2016

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 16, 2016April 16, 2016Leave a Comment

Iconic photographer Patrick Marchelier has once more created a stunning editorial for the Vogue Italia April 2016 edition. Color can be the spice of life, however, there is something majestic about classic, sophisticated black and white imagery. For the Vogue Italia April 2016 issue three models serve up a slice of visual heaven. Imaan Hammam, Liya Kebede and Gigi Hadid are all featured in the gorgeous shoot.

We especially enjoyed the stylized moody essence of the editorial. Each model displays a dark, somber yet beautiful pose that spotlights their individual glamour. The effortless and ease of their positions has a seductive, magnetic appeal. The Vogue Italia April 2016 “Individuallure” editorial by Marchelier is a come-hither masterpiece that is enchantingly captivating.

Besides, the models themselves, the fashions displayed are just as engaging. Liya, Imaan and Gigi all wear designs by Valentino. The couture proves that subtlety and simplicity can still be a very dramatic style presentation. Nevertheless, their ensembles were given extra flair thanks to bold statement jewelry.

Model: Liya Kebede

Couture: Spring/Summer 2016 Valentino

Accessory/Jewelry: Alessandro Gaggio for Valentino

Model: Imaan Hammam

Couture: Fall 2016 Valentino

Accessory/Jewelry: Alessandro Gaggio for Valentino

To complement their sophisticated and conservative attire the model’s hair were flawlessly matched. They wore different hairstyles that could be described as “simple.” Liya’s tresses were elegantly pulled back, while Imaan and Gigi wore high chignons with wispy strands of hair flowing lightly around the hairline as well as the chignon itself.

Beauty Notes: Three words… less is more. Never underestimate the power of natural beauty. Emphasis on your best features can be even more gorgeous than a bold lip, strong contour and faux lashes. You’re beautiful so let the world the see it!

Collection: Burberry Spring 2016 London Fashion Week

Designer: Christopher Bailey

Models Who Walked the Show: Ysaunny Brito, Lameka Fox, Lineisy Montero, Aamito Lagum, Binx Walton and Imaan Hammam

On The Runway: If it’s not “Baroque Don’t Fix It”. Christopher Bailey delivered again this year for ss16. He doesn’t miss a beat. It’s an art how he is able to have a young “it” girl vibe to his collection yet the girls still look posh and refined. The runway was choke full of lace, sheer garments, plenty of intricate cut-out appliques and of course the Burberry trench which is the only type of trench you should ever have in your closet.

Alicia Suggs September 14, 2015September 14, 2015Leave a Comment

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!!

Collection: Diane von Furstenberg S/S 2016 – NYFW

Designer: Diane von Furstenberg

Models Who Walked the Show: Lineisy Montero, Binx Walton, Imaan Hammam, Amilna Estevão, Anais Mali, Tami Williams, Maria Borges, Aya jones, Karly Loyce, Jourdan Dunn

On The Runway: Diane von Furstenberg called her show Fortvna, after the Roman goddess of luck and the subject of the first painting Von Furstenberg ever bought. The verdict, we love it! Diane is on fire right now, her hit TV show is back on and her Spring/Summer 2016 collection shows why this woman is so successful. She understands woman, what we feel comfortable in and how to show off our best assets. Plus with the 40th anniversary of her iconic wrap dress we should all look to Diane since she knows about longevity, hard-work and perseverance.

Imaan Hammam, Aya Jones and Lineisy Montero- Future of Modeling Industry

Arianne Suggs July 7, 2015July 7, 2015Leave a Comment

With new gorgeous faces being seen on a daily basis it is hard to break out in an industry that is all about youth and beauty. As many television shows have helped to emphasize is that a model has to have that special something or Je Ne Sais Quoi that electrifies them off the pages of editorials, runways as well as ad campaigns. Teen Vogue is diving into this industry and giving attention to those believed to be rising new faces.

It wasn’t that long ago where black models were barely seen or utilized regularly as muse’s of top designers. So then, it is very exciting to see three black models receive a nod of approval and highlighted as the new “It” girls on the block. Models Aya Jones, Imaan Hammam and Lineisy Montero are all featured in the August issue.

Besides, a fun editorial the ladies all take a turn on the cover. Moreover, each model shares an inspirational quote, see them all below:
