“Mandatory reading of this [season]: the interview with the top model, Lais Ribeiro for Marie Claire June 2018. Which tells the trajectory of the first Brazilian Black model to enter the pantheon of angels. The most powerful cover of all the newsstands this month in the most revealing interview.”
Beautiful Black Women: Lais Ribeiro Covers Marie Claire Brazil June 2018
So what all is Lais talking about in this edition? She bares everything. From her early beginnings to having to fight for her spot in the fashion and beauty industries as a top model. Marie Claire Brazil EIC (Editor in Chief) explains further stating,
“Our beautiful cover [for] June with Lais Ribeiro, rehearsal and interview [conducted] in NYC (New York City) by two editors, Larissa Lucchese and Camila Lima. For us, Lais shows a powerful woman, a woman poor since childhood in Piaui; faced an early maternity, [also] harassment of famous photographer; racism and child autism. She tells all of this exclusively in this edition. To the newsstands!
[Thanks] of course, to Lais, our first black top model, which shows that fighting against racism and harassment does not imply loss of professional space; indeed, on the contrary. Very happy to have noticed the fact I never had it on our cover before.”

There is so much more to see, but hopefully the items we love will whet your appetite to fork over your debit and/or credit card.
Moreover, do not worry if your girls are bigger than the average supermodel. Rihanna wanted to make her collection available to girls with girls of all sizes and cups. Her range can go all the way up to 44DD. However, it is rumored that more is still in the works as well in the way of size AND sexy fun. Handcuffs are already available… OW!

Savage x Fenty Lingerie: Launch Party
Talk about standing room only. The Savage x Fenty Lingerie launch party was filled to compacity. Literally, every which way you turned someone was there.
Paparazzi eagerly snapped away from the moment of the lady of the hour’s arrival. Every half second a, “Rihanna over here,” could be heard echoing along the line of cameras and smartphones.
There was much to see. From racks carrying the long-awaited collection. To also large billboards or graphic walls if you will; touting the company name and messages.
However, one of the biggest attractions of the night had to be the special effects feature. Leave it to Rihanna to launch a product in a way that is not only memorable, but futuristic.
While many choose to use actual models in order to showcase their merchandise. Rihanna went in the complete opposite direction. She used herself, multiplied.
Yes, via tech, Rihanna appeared before the party in the form of a hologram. The holographic Rihanna strutted across as well as up and down the stage in a mesmerizing, divine fashion.
Savage x Fenty Lingerie: Launch Party (Continued)
Rih’s close friends were of course in attendance. Along with a slew of gorgeous models. However, it really came as no surprise. When you roll with the gorgeous Rihanna; you expect her squad to be “on the level.”
As industry and fans collided in order to celebrate Rihanna’s latest venture. Everyone’s RihMotions were clearly on edge. Being just hours away from the official launch; all invitees just wanted to see more and more of the final collection.
Robyn did not disappoint. In time she floated over to racks of her intimate apparel and in order to showcase items to the cameras. With so much buzz in the air it was clear… the Badgal had done it again!
Savage x Fenty Lingerie: Getting the Goods
In case you were wondering… yes, this collection too is going to sale out. If you attempted to log on to the www.savagex.com site in order to get your shopping on; you may have been met with a little informative screen.
The “line” getting into the online store is a beast in itself. Rihanna is no stranger to selling out of her products, and fast, so that this time she is doing her best to keep things orderly.
When Fenty Beauty dropped the website literally crashed. Like TKO. Therefore, this time consumers can get to the website, but can not begin to shop until space is made within the store.
If there is absolutely no space or room, purchasers are added to an queue. An ingenious method to keep the site from crashing and burning.
SavagexFenty Lingerie: Getting the Goods (Continued)
Another aspect of this queue that we like is the efficiency. Of course, you will receive an estimated wait time. However, you also do not need to wait around. You can close the window and your spot will be held for you.
For kicks and giggles we decided to test it out. Of course, fear initially gripped our bodies. Would our spot in line really be held for us? If there’s a glitch will we be booted to the bottom of the list?
Well, we had no reason to be afraid, because after closing out the window and returning; our spot in line was still there. WHEW! Also, a new window explaining that it was almost our turn to enter the store and if we wanted to leave the line we could.
Unfortunately, as much as we liked this process; it did not stop the site from running slow (most likely due to demand). Also, we were kicked out the store a couple times. Nevertheless, we like how things are being run thus far and look forward to FINALLY getting more sexy, savage-esqe gear.

All we can say is, “WOW!” The entire Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2018 runway show was a tantalizing affair; however, the closing look stole the attention of everyone in attendance. The vibe, the details, the unspoken allure. Every element just works and brings a certain je ne sais quoi to a collection that is already flawless.
Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown
Hereith Paul, you are a lucky girl! Paul is the gorgeous model that had the honor and pleasure, of wearing the final closing Cushnie et Ochs look. The dress is a showstopper… Glitzy, spell-binding and more gleam than the night sky on a clear night.
Photographs of this garment did not even come close to doing it justice. The gown gets its bling appeal thanks to a little help from Swarowski. This dress in particular incorporates dazzling, strategically placed Swarowski Drop Crystals.
The crystalized look is currently a favorite among designers for the fall 2018 season. We spotted the trend at not just Cushnie et Ochs, but during a number of other fall runway shows. We noted Swarowski elements and jewelry were utilized during collections for: Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu and Rosie Assoulin.
Nevertheless, we foresee the Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown being a red carpet favorite. Immediately, upon seeing it all 1966 staff felt that this is a design that Queen Beyonce would absolutely dominate in at any event. We are reminded of her sheer, embellished gown that she wore to the 2015 Met Ball (see below). This is so her style and one that would land any starlet with an amazing pair of legs on the Best Dressed List. All eyes on you RiRi!

Hansel and Gretel eat your heart out! When it comes to fashion week no one quite does it like fashion house, Chanel. From the spell-binding couture to the equally visually pleasing venues, the luxury fashion label knows how to leave its fashion show attendees aching for more! For the Chanel Winter 2018 -2019 collection, Karl Lagerfeld enchanted his audience with luxe woven garments set against a forest backdrop.
Winter Fashion 2018- Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show
Why is this show in particular making waves throughout the industry? Well, during fashion week you expect at least three things. A catwalk, glorious designs and a magnificent show. Chanel did all three with stylish hands tied in back.
In answering the long held question what would you take with you if you were stranded in a desert or forest; Chanel’s winter show made the answer abundantly clear… any of their fashions! Chanel’s dazzling designs cast their spell with a color palette that lines up perfectly with the fall and winter seasons. We observe stylish tops, skirts, jackets and accessories all peppered with tones reminiscent of the changing of the leaves’ colors during autumn.
The colors are warm yet sharp. Defined yet welcoming. Your eye is drawn in immediately but is able to take in every look’s detail in it’s entirety.
Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show
Your outfit may be the cake, but a proper handbag is the cherry on top! Chanel’s Winter 2018 handbags are trendy with an original edge. There are big bags, small bags, crossovers and of course, totes.
One element we love is the matchy-matchy look. Several handbags were twinning with their accompanying ensembles. Literally, tweed met tweed and hues met the exact same color(s). Whatever fabric was used to craft a couture design that same high end material was used for the look’s very own handbag.
This is great for the person who enjoys a perfect match. Or for someone who may struggle with pairing accessories with their clothing. Either way, Chanel has things covered.
One other detail that is certainly worth mentioning before moving on is Chanel’s use of the double bag. Have you ever needed two bags just to carry your essentials for the day? Well, Chanel wants you to know you are not alone. During the fall/winter runway show a model hit the catwalk with not one bag, but two swinging from her shoulder.
One smaller shoulder handbag layered over a larger tote made up the completed look. While carrying two bags may not become the next big thing. It is fun to see a neat way on how to make this style dilemma work in the best way.
Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show – Accessories
Hair was kept simple but was embellished with luxe, crystallized hair accessories. Other outfit additions we noticed included scarves, leggings/tights, chain belts as well as logo/name earrings and necklaces. Moreover, with the earrings we noticed Chanel indulged in the super hot uneven earrings trend. To rock it all you have to do is wear two different size earrings. They match but one is always super longer than the other. Thus making the finished result stylish, yet dramatic.
Furthermore, gleaming details were not just noticed in the accessories. Various boots, tights and pants all had shimmery elements. Proving that winter fashion does not need to be drab like the season’s weather. You can easily spice things up by utilizing sparkle.
Lastly, one other piece we loved was the fingerless gloves! Very Material Girl meets punk. The fun gloves came in different lengths; both regular hand glove size as well as elbow length. Certainly, a design that easily garners attention without trying too hard.
Well loves that is our fashion show recap. Keep scrolling to see even more runway shots!

She’s one of the hardest working models in the industry… and she’s not even real! Meet Shudu Gram, a CGI wonder that is being featured on magazine covers and shouted out by some of biggest brands in the world. With a career that any mere human lover of fashion would want and thousands of fans; it looks as though Shudu’s career is poised to only rise.
Melanin Magic: Meet Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel
Who is she? That is the question that started it all. Shudu Gram’s creator posed it after the CGI supermodel first started making waves. Since her introduction into the fashion world, one puzzling question seemed to develop and stay on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Is this beautiful woman even real?
Gorgeous, extremely. A killer fashion model, no doubt. An actual human being, major doubt.
As much as the world wanted to believe Shudu Gram’s photography was real; her beauty just seemed a little manufactured. However, that’s when the magic occurred. No one cares!
Like us, literally every fan didn’t care if she is in fact fake. In the end, her work or the work of her creator is just simply too exquisite to ignore. Human or CGI people respect the images as stunning art additions for the world to behold.
Therefore, who is the genius behind Shudu Gram? Obviously, someone not only talented, but should win an award for being able to keep such a huge secret. Shudu is the creation of photographer, Cameron-James Wilson. Wilson is no stranger to the fashion industry; having worked with everyone from Victoria’s Secret model Devon Windsor to Gigi Hadid.
Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel
From the beginning, we have been huge fans of Wilson’s artistry with his CGI supermodel. We have featured her numerous times and still can not get enough. Even though some may take offense to the likeness of a black model’s features being used; we think Cameron-James’ work is lovely and tastefully done.
In a world that normally tries to tear down black girls and women. Saying we are unattractive and unable to sell or push merchandise with our beauty. It is nice to see someone create imagery that celebrates our Melanin Magic and brings our beauty to the fore. Proving once again our beauty is striking, sought after and of course, sellable.
Shudu Gram’s gorgeous self has been utilized on the cover of ULIHOUMISM magazine as well as a muse for Soul Sky brand. A clothing label originally from Africa. Furthermore, recently even Fenty Beauty has shown off Shudu’s fabulousness. The cosmetics giant is the first makeup brand to use Shudu’s image to market a beauty product. Thus, showing Rihanna is always ahead of the game and competition; even when it comes to using CGI models. Shudu can be seen rocking Rihanna’s MATTEMOISELLE in “SAWC.”

Therefore, well done Cameron-James Wilson! Moreover, congratulations on designing the world’s first CGI supermodel.
