Le Look Du Jour: Ajak Deng and Nykhor Paul for Louis Vuitton Spring 2013

The Campaign Featuring Ajak and Nykhor: I edited the original photo to highlight these two beautiful women as captured by Steven Meisel.

Were these designs from the 1960's inspiration for Marc Jacobs 60's inspired collection for Louis Vuitton and his own namesake collection??

I've seen a lot of collections that are eerily similar to several previous collections that I've seen in the VOGUE and L'Officiel archives and I've been dying to do a blog post about them because there seems to be a lot of copying going on. On a better note: The designers who presented 60's inspired silhouettes had better collections out all of those who didn't anyway.

What's Haute Now!!

The Latest and the Greatest according to moi!

Some of the American fashion Gods must be listening to their readers because Joan Smalls has landed on the cover of the July issue of W Magazine.

Joan's beauty was captured by the legendary Steven Meisel for her gorgeous cover and editorial. This is not her first cover because Joan has had several international covers and since most international fashion magazines are also obsessed with celebrities, they do have the courage to use models on their magazine covers unlike their American counterparts. Congrats to Joan on a beautiful cover and thank you, Stefano Tonchi for having the courage to feature a model on the cover.

Saturdays were made for relaxing and catching up on reading and just having a me day because I adamantly refused to go on a road trip this weekend. Sorry kiddies, but Mommy has to save money for our annual vacation. Lol!!

I bought the latest issue of Hunger magazine and while flipping through the pages I came across this beautiful editorial featuring singer Liane La Havas which stopped me at mid flip. Rankin captured her style and beauty in some of the most beautiful clothes in the prettiest colors ever!  Hunger Magazine is another one of those bi-annual magazines that have now cropped up on the markets and it's heavy because it's filled with beautiful editorials from some of the worlds best unknown up and coming artist from all genres. Liane La Havas is going to have meteoric success here in the states with her music. Mark my words.

Inspiration: Emulating Yves

Images of YSL's 1967 "African Collection" and

Marchesa's dress is from their 2010 Resort Collection

features striking similarities of Yve's collection.

The dress that Henrieth is wearing is by Gucci.

When I first saw this editorial of Henrieth Paul for the January issue of VOGUE Italia photograph by none other than Steven Meisel. I was in awe especially of the way the editorial pays a visit to a bygone era that many of us don't get to see anymore. That of a customer in a designers atelier being fitted for Haute Couture by the designer, his assistants or a group of "petite mains." Elegantly clad models parading in front of potential customers holding placards of the desired garments as the buyers sit in elegant Chiavari chairs inside a chic salon...crystal chandeliers complete that added elegance and ambiance. 

Thanks to Beauty is Diverse for the inspiration.
