The New Noir: Fatima Siad for Schön! Magazine Issue 29

Fatima Siad's stunning editorial for Schön! Magazine is beyond gorgeous. The "New Noir" celebrates the timeless allure and elegance of "black" colored couture and accessories.

I love seeing models of African descent dressed in couture for fashion editorials because I only see them wearing sportswear when they are featured and nothing exudes elegance than seeing impeccably dressed women in Haute Couture. Photographer Ed Maximus captured her beautifully and that is why I call her Baby Iman because she is elegant to the core!
