Style File: Designer Stella Jean

As I've stated in a previous post that every season I find a new fashion favorite in the latest street style photos and this time I've found several stylish and inspiring women. The latest one to catch my eye is a Rome based designer of Haitian and Italian background named Stella Jean. Stella was the featured in VOGUE Italia's "Who's Is On Next?" as one designer to watch.

All I can say is that her collection left me speechless! Sure, some of you may say that it's nothing new since she uses African wax-prints, but I beg to differ. Her designs are gorgeous and I'd love to get my hands on a few of her pieces!

ONE LOOK: Naomi Campbell for Igor Chapurin

Naomi Campbell showed she still has an astonishing figure on the catwalk at a fashion show held in Moscow yesterday. Naomi, who turns 41 on May 22, has been modelling since she was 15, was wearing a white and grey cat suit which made it look like her curves had been painted on.

On Monday, she is hosting a Fashion For Relief charity catwalk event along with VOGUE Italia's Franca Sozzani at the Cannes Film Festival to raise funds for those affected by Japan's earthquake and tsunami.

Vogue Italia Hits The Web

Leave it to the international editions of magazines to be the first when it comes to showing diversity, too bad their American counterparts have yet to be so courageous when it comes to inclusion. Fashionistas everywhere can now get a daily dose of Italian and European style and also visit a section of Vogue Italia solely dedicated to models of color, writers, artist and so on and even Vogue Curvy.

Thanks, Shala for these delicious morsels of style bites. Thanks are definitely in order for Franca Sozzani, the Editor of Vogue Italia who gave us one of ( probably) the best selling issues(The Black Issue) in Vogue Italia's publishing history and shows us the love!

Maybe she can teach you know who a thing or two when it comes to selling magazines and let her know that style and fashion is global and is accessible to everyone and having a woman of African heritage, Hispanic, or Asian woman on an American VOGUE cover can and will sell magazines! Style is not meant to offend, only an ignorant individual would think so!
