You can literally hear crickets and a pen dropping. The Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2019 fashion show made history; and it’s not even going viral. Maison Valentino’s Creative Director, Pierpaolo Piccioli cast 43 black models for Paris Fashion Week; in an industry in the past, where it was the norm to only see one; maybe two sprinkled throughout the entire show.
However, Pierpaolo did not allow “the standard” to influence his decision making. Instead he turned to celebration. The celebrating of true black beauty in all of its glorious femininity.
Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2019 Cast 43 Black Models and Industry is Silent
Why is all of this hoopla and spotlight on this subject necessary? Well, a quick lesson in history is all that is needed. Renown photographer Derek Blasberg recounts the dark truth and reality of Paris fashion. He explains,
“There was a time when French fashion houses wouldn’t lend clothes to black fashion magazines; (the owner of Ebony had to purchase clothes for photo shoots); and black models weren’t allowed to get dressed in the same backstages as white girls.
Today, Maison Valentino took the notion of color and couture and flipped it upside down in one of the most spectacular shows at Paris fashion week. Afterward, the designer, Pierpaolo Piccioli told me he wanted to celebrate black beauty beyond cultural conversations about diversity; and position the entire spectrum of femininity atop fashion’s food chain. The collection brought Naomi Campbell, who closed the show, to tears.”
Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2019 Cast 43 Black Models and Industry is Silent (Continued)
Are these claims true about the struggles of black magazines? The daughter of the owner of Ebony Magazine, Linda Johnson Rice, confirmed this sad truth in a statement directed to Derek Blasberg. Linda says,
“Thank you Derek for acknowledging Ebony magazine. My mother Eunice W. Johnson did have to buy the couture for the Ebony Fashion Fair show. Maison Valentino was one of her favorites. She was a woman of innate style, taste and determination.”
Sad, just sad. Nevertheless, the industry has truly come a long way. In 2018, more black models and celebs were seen on the cover of September issues (the biggest edition of the year for any magazine, thus making it a great honor); than ever before. Also, the designer twins behind DSQUARED have put on shows featuring an all black cast of models. Additionally, long gone is the segregation between white and black models.
However, as the saying goes, “If you forget history, you are bound to forget it.” Therefore, let’s not forget those who paved the way for the black models of today, or forget there is still room for PLENTY of improvement. Yet, let’s also celebrate glamorous black beauty being seen in a major fashion capital. Thank you Pierpaolo Piccioli, your message and show was absolutely breathtaking.

Are you ready to go back? Creative Director Richard Rene, for the Guy Laroche fashion house, took his audience back to the era of 1981; where Charles and Diana get hitched, MTV launches and you could go see Raiders of the Lost Ark or Superman II. You know right where history typically acknowledges that the glamour and excitement typified by the 80’s began. The Guy Laroche Spring 2019 show is not only a nod to 80’s greatness; but an amazing freeze frame view of opulent style from the “decade of excess.”
Paris Fashion Week: Guy Laroche Spring 2019 -Fashion and Makeup Recap
As a quick reminder or lesson in the French fashion scene. Guy Laroche started his career in the fashion industry in 1949. Due to his talent and vision in just 7 years Guy would create his very own luxury label for womenswear. Even after his death in 1989 the brand continues to dominate in setting the bar high.
Even for the Spring 2019 fashion show respect for the artistry that is Guy Laroche flair can clearly be seen. There were so many lined up and milling around to get into the show, yet it was clearly and utterly apparent that the venue would not be able to hold everyone. Nonetheless, those who made it inside definitely will never forget it.
The “Shadow and Light” show put on by Richard Rene delivered with references of punk, edge, and futuristic vibes. Strong tailoring and fab silhouettes were also apparent. Nevertheless, our favorite element had to be the use of monochromatic tones, a signature of Rene. So uncomplicated and straightforward but still packing a powerful couture punch.
Furthermore, in keeping with the eighties theme and essence, several models of color hit the runway with sculpted flat tops. Think Grace Jones and Bobby Brown and you will instantly get the picture. Seriously, these ladies looked like the epitome of cool. Other styles noted included cornrows, deep side parts, dyed hair color and sleek, slicked back “pompadour” tresses.
Paris Fashion Week: Guy Laroche Spring 2019 -Fashion and Makeup Recap (Continued)
Quickly let’s get into the beauty look for the Guy Laroche SS19 fashion show. Normally, one or just a couple looks are given to the models going down a designer’s catwalk. However, Laroche’s show went total glam and beauty excessive.
Makeup extraordinaire, Kabuki, led the charge in creating the signature makeup looks for the show. Regarding the process and beauty variation, Kabuki reveals,
“MAC Cosmetics enabled me to create 15 individualized makeup looks for Guy Laroche this season! [For instance] here I am applying a mix of yellow and white lip-mix.”
Yes, Kabuki created not one, not two, but a total of 15 looks! Enough for two weeks worth of glam daily. Moreover, the show showcased extremely bold color on the eyes, brows and lips; while the rest of the face was kept quite au natural.
Yellow, blue, green and pink all found their way into the mix. Nonetheless, we felt that the makeup served as a nice departure from the collection’s simplistic color palette. Although, black and white will forever be deemed classic and chic tones. A hint of color perfectly pops and marries the two color spectrums together seamlessly. Just check out some of the Guy Laroche beauty inspo below to see just how beautiful, boisterous color looks against black and white; and how it will also be a big trend for next spring!
Are you daring enough to give bold color makeup a try? Well, if not makeup, maybe statement accessories will be more your bag. For instance, for the spring 2019 collection, Laroche incorporated exaggerated shaped eyewear and earrings into its couture equation. Bringing the overall look into a more harmonized retro, yet refreshing modern realm. All in all another great show by a master of high-end fashion!

Designer Carly Cushnie is killing us softly! Giving us a little something of everything… think dresses, pant suits and swimwear. The Cushnie Spring-Summer 2019 Runway Show ushered in a feminine flair; with strong emphasis on silhouette as well as delicate detailing.
There was also plenty of black girl magic to around. Models such as Winnie Harlow, Aid Curtiss, Tarah Rodgers, Hereith Paul, Alicia Burke, Maria Borges as well as Grace Mahary.
New York Fashion Week: Cushnie Spring-Summer 2019 Runway Show
In a realm well-known for over the top glamour and structure; it is refreshing to see Cushnie still lean toward simplistic luxury. The fashion label’s fashion show for the Spring/Summer 2019 season incorporated enchanting floor-length gowns, as well as modern denim wear.
If you love a great jean ensemble then the LEE x Cushnie lineup (which is apart of the Cushnie SS19 collection) will certainly be worth your couture consideration. It includes tops, pants, jumpsuits and even cut-out dresses. A very fun, relaxed and flirty addition to an already set to stun runway show.
Another aspect that we absolutely loved about the show is the sexy elements of the gowns. Cushnie proves that less can be more. While the gowns cover most of the body; deep V necks, high thigh slits, cut-outs, fringe, spaghetti strap as well as off the shoulder designs infused each look with sultry sass.
Lastly, the color tones are playful, sophisticated and strong. From festive to noire, the hues of the collection are perfect for the spring as well as summer seasons.
Fashion Notes: When it comes to fashion styling remember to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple sis). Models in the show wore sleek and well-trimmed tresses as well as simple yet large hoop earrings.
Cushnie Designer and Owner, Carly Cushnie
