Fashion IS art. For their September 2018 edition Harpers Bazaar Pays Homage to Vladmir Tretchikoff; a Russian visionary who’s dazzling artwork still captivates and mesmerizes decades later. The editorial entitled, “The Female Gaze” is a multi-page spread that stars top models, Maria Borges as well as the lovely Xin Xie.

Harpers Bazaar Pays Homage to Vladmir Tretchikoff Starring Maria Borges

Vladimir’s artistry is well-known for it’s vibrancy, vividness; and of course alluring beauty. Tretchikoff’s stunning array of portraits at times captured the essence and spirit of women from across Africa as well as Asia. Another draw to his work is that he always seemed to make the woman in his paintings ooze with regal flair.

The Female Gaze magazine editorial recreates several famous Tretchikoff pieces including: Balinese Girl, Zulu Girl and Chinese Girl (1952). Maria Borges is the muse for the Balinese as well as Zulu masterpieces.

Fashion Notes: For the recreation of Balinese Girl, Maria Borges wears a stunning headwrap garment that is a design of Eric Javits. Javits is the designer behind several infamous celebrity headpieces and hats. Including those worn by Beyoncé, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Serena Williams, Chanel Iman and Mary J. Blige. He is also the ingenious designer behind Naomi Campbell’s golden Balinese headpiece seen at the amfAR event.

Arianne Suggs July 18, 2017July 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Every wonder what the life of a high-end designer is like? Now you can get a sneak peek along with a preview of some chic fall fashion! The Brandon Maxwell Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign dives into the creative process of bringing a collection to the masses. Moreover, Brandon Maxwell is using an amazing girl gang of models in order to showcase his fab garments. Check out Joan Smalls, Maria Borges, Lameka Fox along with Charlee Fraser, Andreea Diaconu and Romee Strijd in the new photo/video campaign!

Brandon Maxwell Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign Starring Joan, Maria and Lameka

In fashion visuals are everything. For his latest campaign Maxwell utlizes both videos and photography to highlight his designs. Regarding details as well as the inspiration behind the campaign, Brandon Maxwell says,

“Introducing the first in a series of six videos for our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign, starring Joan Smalls. I’ve never set out to do a traditional campaign. In many ways these projects begin less as a vehicle to sell the clothing and more as a therapeutic exercise. To help me gain a deeper understanding of the industry within I work. Maintain some sense of self and to stay steady on the path in search for something I know to be true.

Each season’s campaigns are meant to show my world through my eyes. In this instance it’s the castings, the fittings, process, the way I see it. A world where the women are cast as much for their brains, personality, and dedication as they are for their beauty. Our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign features six incredible women that I have had the pleasure to get to know and work with on many projects over the years.

These are the women that bring our clothes to life. I think it’s important to hear their stories. To understand that they are more than just what they seem on the runway, and in a way, so are the clothes. They are garments that are meant to be lived in, and that have a purpose.

In all the clothes there is a space left for the woman. The power, the confidence, the unwavering sense of self. In their company, I am somehow able to find strength within myself at the time that I need it the most.”

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 7, 2017January 6, 2017Leave a Comment

The new year always seems to usher in new opportunities. Nonetheless, it looks like our fave models are gearing up to take over the industry for 2017! We are spotting some amazing projects and we are only a few days in thus far. If you live, breathe and obsess over all things skincare than get a load of this.

Do you ever wish you could just give your skin a drink? There are many reasons why dry skin can suddenly occur. For instance, during wintertime the air contains less moisture thus vacuuming up any hydration in your skin.

L’Oreal is here to save the skincare day. This year get your hands on the L’Oreal Hydra Fresh Genius Water. A mist that contains thousands of water bursting bubbles. This product is apart of a complete system designed to give you watery-smooth skin all day long.

Our girl Maria Borges has been tapped to star in the brand’s 2017 ad campaign. Borges hit up social with the awesome news stating, “Bon jour! Kicking off 2017 with a new campaign for L’Oreal Paris!” Immediately, the love began pouring in because the campaign photo is absolutely stunning.

Borges is no stranger to L’Oreal skincare; she uses the products freely and shares the wealth with her girlfriends. Moreover, on Instagram Maria was seen using L’Oreal’s clay mask. Nevertheless, if you ever go to purchase them remember that the three different masks serve three different purposes. Here’s a cheat sheet:

Black: Detox and Brighten
Green: Purify and Matify
Red: Exfoliate and Glow

We are loving the diversity and this display of black girl magic. Models of all shades and their beauty are being highlighted like never before. We hope this great trend continues and congrats to Maria on scoring a fab campaign!

3 Easy Spring Trends Every Girl Can Rock

Arianne Suggs April 11, 2016April 11, 2016Leave a Comment

We are living in a time where more and more people want variety and diversity. However, in the fashion realm at times shape, size and even height can dictate which trends will fit a girl’s style for a particular season. Nevertheless, we have noted several trends that transcend style “limitations.” Here are 3 easy spring trends that every girl can rock!

Spring Trends #1– Once You Go White… : White couture is an excellent tint for spring and is versatile. The light and airy tint works for day and nighttime looks. Moreover, it can look causal (slacks/maxi dress) or sexy and sophisticated (jumpsuits/tailored jacket/cut-out dress). Moreover, did we mention that white looks amazing on us melanin girls? So go ahead and give this trend shade a try, you might not want to go back to anything else.

Spring Trends #2– Throw Lots of Shade: Pretend that you are a cast member of Real Housewives of Atlanta and get to throwing some shade! Okay, we are not referring to verbal shade, we mean the shades known better as sunglasses. This season is all about going big or going home when it comes to sunnies. So do not be afraid to opt for a pair of frames that are a little larger than you would normally wear.

Spring Trends #3 Go Nude: We have to stress we are talking about nail color in this sense (LOL). You will love this nail polish tint because it will easily go with your spring and summer fashions seamlessly due to be a neutral color. Moreover, the right nude nail product will look like you went and got a mani. Can you say, “OMG I’m going to save a few bucks?!” Nevertheless, if clashing nail color is a style fear of yours, then take out the guesswork and go grab yourself a pretty nude nail polish.

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.
