If we are going to develop whip lash it might as well be in the name of beauty. Can you imagine what you could see after 100 years have passed? No doubt fashions and styles would have changed numerous times as well as trends. Cut.com’s new video, “100 Years of Beauty: Marshay” is a time lapse film featuring popular black female hairstyles and beauty looks spanning from 1910 to 2010. Director Michael Gaston and editor Blaine Ludy revealed that the 59-second video took three completely separate shoots to complete. This video is fitting with Black History month being just around the corner so it’s cool to see a quick review of our striking appearance. Let’s continue to let our intelligence, sophistication as well as beauty continue to shine brightly for the next 100 years and beyond.
This was just too cool to pass up so we HAD to write about it. Legendary makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench is a chip off the old block (sorry we couldn’t help it LOL) and created Lego Masks for the Agi & Sam fashion show. Lego masks protruded from the model’s faces as they walked the catwalk with some masks simply outlining facial features while other Lego designs completely covered them. The designs were very fitting for the “Coolman” collection and we loved the ‘out of the box’ concept.
Alright, alright, alright, alrighttttttt! Major props and accolades for the Oliver Spencer Fall/Winter 2015 Collection. The couture found in this runway show is relaxed chic at its finest. From the use of fabrics including lambswool and cashmere to the slightly over-sized fits everything looked tailored yet unrestrained. The looks are for the guy who’s confident, collected and nonchalant. We loved the bold suits, bomber jackets as well as cropped trousers. Wonderful fashions from start to finish and congratulations on an amazing show!
London has been set ablaze with fiery hot menswear fashion shows. Besides all of the male eye candy the couture is getting us just as warm under our stylish collars. The Nasir Mazhar Autumn/Winter 2015 collection gave us a slight late 90’s vibe when hip hop artists were wearing those puffed up, shiny ensembles. If you don’t remember or were not alive slide on over to google and look up Diddy as well as Mase then get back to us. The fashions were very bold and in your face, so if your man loves to be seen he will love this collection. One of our favorite pieces from the collection were a pair of green and black sporty looking pants. They looked comfy but had really neat panel detailing that gave them a cool flair.
Break away from the beanies, snap-backs as well as fedoras and opt for a total out of the box look…the top hat. Top hats may be a more male-driven fashion, however the accessory can look just as elegant and sophisticated on women. We spotted the top hat during an equestrian themed runway show for fall/winter fashion week in Toronto, Canada. Pair the hat with denim, boots, khakis, blazers, long coats and even a nicely tailored suit. With such a stylish hat you are bound to make a strong fashion statement.

We had an amazing night cheering on our favorite cast member for this season’s search for who will be the global ambassador for Diane von Furstenberg. Brittany Hampton ultimately took home the win and admittedthat it was a hard secret to keep due to being apart of a large family. Hampton looks forward to her new role and fitting in with the Furstenberg brand family. Our fashions for the night included jumpsuits, sleek hair and heels.
Alicia toted her things with handbag by Lauren Blakwell.
Arianne accessorized her jumpsuit with a navy blue bag by Kenneth Cole Reaction.
Congratulations to the gorgeous Brittany Hampton on becoming DVF’s new global brand ambassador! Brittany will travel the world to bring a younger influence to the iconic fashion brand. Diane mentioned that Brittany had made a good first impression and had to draw back in order to not show bias. However, Hampton’s skill set as well as drive put her over the top of the other candidates and competition.
