Model Noémie Abigaïl for L'OFFICIEL PARIS APRIL 2016

I'm loving all of the editorials featuring Afro hairstyles in all sizes and shapes and this time L'Officiel Paris presents readers with a menswear inspired editorial. Photographer Nik Hartley captured model Noémie Abigaïl perfectly.  Stylist Vanessa Cocchiaro retained her femininity with just the perfect hint of masculinity and I love every last look!

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.

Akuol De Mabior for Annabelle Magazine-Switzerland

Leave it to Europe for being a trendsetter when it comes to embracing our beauty by not following the trends of American magazines with the celebrity covers. Rising model Akuol de Mabior landed a cover and editorial in the Swiss magazine Annabelle for their take on African inspired fashion featuring looks from Prada and Burberry Prorsum among others.

FATIMA SIAD FOR MARSHALL'S SS 2012 CAMPAIGN

While out and about this weekend my family and I hit the malls and the shopping centers in search for bargains to wear for the upcoming warmer weather. While at the check out counter at Marshall's my daughter told me to look up at the huge poster of Fatima Siad staring down at us. Yes, it was Fatima in an ad campaign for Marshall's and my cashier even knew who she was.

Last year it was Atong Arjok  who was featured in their Spring and Summer campaign now this year it's Fatima along with three other models wearing the latest in summer trends. I'm proud of Fatima because she proves once again that you don't have to finish first in order to shine and shine she has by walking in several designer fashion shows and snagging some of the top advertising campaigns. I started to pull out my phone to snap a photo, but instead I told my daughters that I'll go straight to Marshall's for the photos and of course they had them.

While shopping at some of my favorites stores, I also noticed Ataui Deng for Macy's, Jasmine Tookes for Sephora, Grace Bol for NARS, Fatima for Target, Ajak Deng for Macy's and also Tomiko Fraser Hines for TARGET.

Le Look Du Jour: Nyasha Matonhodze for Numero Magazine

Most November issues didn't offer us much in the editorial department, so hopefully the December issues will offer us the diversity that many of us crave and want to see. Top model, Nyasha Matonhodze glams it up in this issue of Numero Magazine which was shot by photographer Rene Habermacher.
