amfAR New York Gala Fashion Recap

Leave a Comment on amfAR New York Gala Fashion Recap

It was an electric night dedicated to the fight against the global AIDS epidemic. Many celebrities were on hand to show their support as well as honor those for their notable contributions. For instance, supermodel Naomi Campbell was on hand to present the amfAR Award of Courage to designer Donatella Versace. We present our amFar New York Gala Fashion Recap!

Everyone looked fantastic for the star-studded event. Moreover, we noticed that Versace had a major night. Several fabulous ladies wore garments from the luxury brand which was fitting due to the lovely Donatella being honored. Check out who made up the Versace squad!

The creation of amfAR came about to the unfortunate passing Hollywood actor, Rock Hudson. Hudson was the first well-known public figure to die of AIDS-related illness. Right before his death Rock donated $250,000 to help others in the future who might face a similiar health issue. His longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor used his donation in order to help establish amfAR.

amFar New York Gala Fashion Recap-Raising Funds for Research

To raise funds there were quite a few art pieces up for grabs. Here are a few that caught our eye along with the cool story behind them:

“Thrilled and honored to be auctioning off this work by American street artist Alec Monopoly at amfAR New York Gala. This piece was specifically chosen by the artist since it reflects the kinetic energy and constant motion of New Yorkers. To date the amfAR New York Gala has raised more than $17 million in support of the fight against HIV/Aids.”

“When it comes to the history of amfAR, there is a special place for the woman who helped start it all. Christopher Makos’ 1988 black and white portrait of amfAR Founding International Chairman Elizabeth Taylor on Malcolm Forbes is just one of the many works generously donated to be auctioned.”

Liya Kebede and Imaan Hammam For Vogue Italia April 2016

Liya Kebede and Imaan Hammam For Vogue Italia April 2016

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.

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!

J. Crew Fall 2015 Editorial

Leave a Comment on J. Crew Fall 2015 Editorial

Who doesn’t love J.Crew. The clothes are so chic, well-tailored and are chock full of great investment pieces for  your wardrobe. This year J. Crew Fall 2015 Editorial is no different. It features black models Joan Small and Liya Kebede both wearing blazers in classic blue and Khaki. I do though love Liya’s look with the turtle neck with a a jean chambray over it tucked in straight leg denim with the great tailored blazer mentioned above. This is a great way to layer for the cooler months ahead without looking bulky.

Fashionable Mention Liya Kebede for Peek & Cloppenburg Spring-Summer 2015 Campaign

We absolutely ADORE this look from the Peek & Cloppenburg spring/summer collection. Of course anything would look amazing on model Liya Kebede who poses for the 2015 campaign, but we still find that the entire ensemble is chic sophistication. This look showcases the whole “less is more” vibe by only incorporating a change in color with accessories i.e. the shoes and handbag. With everything so streamlined and relaxed the focus and emphasis really does get to be on design and tailoring.

One of our favorite models of all time is giving mad “face” for the spring/summer 2015 L’Oreal Paris Infallible collection ad campaign. Recently, Liya Kebede was named Global Brand Ambassador for L’Oreal cosmetics, skincare, and haircare lines. Moreover, solidifying her rank in the fashion, beauty and entertainment industries, Forbes named her one of the top fifteen highest earning models.

The ad campaign showcases L’Oreal’s long-lasting foundation that is said to last 24 hours. Liya’s gorgeous look for the campaign was brought together by hairstylist Stephane Lancien and MUA Charlotte Willer. The ad was lensed by celebrity, beauty and fashion photographer Kenneth Willardt.
