Fashion Week is over

Once upon a time, a little Fashionista was longing for a collection that covered all of her needs: great clothes, strong inspiration, and a pack celebrity show!
The first show she went to had a semi-strong collection but it wasn't enough! So she went to the Bryant Park tent yearning for good networking. She saw Paris Hilton, Solange, Andre Leon Talley, Tracey Reese, Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend but it still was enough!
So she went to the Baby Phat fashion show which had the pack networking celebrity crowd she wanted. She saw Aubrey O' Day from Danity Kane, Whitney from Top Model, Patricia Field, Ray J, and Monica. But the clothes weren’t enough! So she went to two other shows, one had the amazing clothes but boring press. The other show had ok press, ok clothes, and ok inspiration. Still searching for more she went back to Bryant Park Tent; she saw models and celebrities such as Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, Joy Bryant, Alicia Keys, and Estelle.
When she got back home when fashion week was done...she thought...it is OK..."I can try harder next season for great clothes, strong inspirations, and a pack celebrity show!

The End

Black Italia


I am a fan of Vogue and other high fashion publications but i am very offended about the whole "Black Italia"! This should not be a big subject on every blog or website but it should be a regular thing in magazines and runways to see African American models! What makes it worst that it was an undercover thing until Obama really became a factor in the presidential race! Is it now that people realize that there is no black faces...sorry that it foolishness!
I am a fashion student and this is a lack for color in my classroom! People don't realize that black has always and will always be beautiful! How can you look at a beautiful sister, with a shape as a Coca Cola body, and with beautiful hair and call her ugly!
This is why the baddest super models of all time is black models...really how many girls you know that can walk like Naomi, have the bone structure like Iman, or even have lips like Chanel Iman?
Even the late YSL famously said that "My dream woman is Iman" and she was the house model for Yves Saint Laurent's African Queen couture collection.
I hope this whole black vogue thing would not be a fad but it will turn into a classic thing to have more black faces.
