NYFW: Recap #SLUMFLOWER

Three weeks ago while in New York during Fashion Week, I attended the Slumflower exhibition to support and show love to the men of Street Etiquette. I'll save you all the essay, just know that the room was filled with beautiful people and good vibes.. my favorite places to be. Needless to say, I am very proud of Josh and Travis for their many accomplishments.

Enjoy the visuals.

 

NYFW: Kimono Love... A Style Post Pt. 2

 

Two weeks ago while in NY for fashion week, I took a little break to shoot with the homie Dizzy who got some great shots of my fit. Wearing the kimono that makes me feel invincible again lol. You can view the first post HERE 

 

 

 

 

 

Wearing: Kimono from Meeps Vintage, American Apparel crop top, Silence & Noise skirt, and Bisoux Jewelry necklace

NYFW: On The Runway - Custo Barcelona

'Chic, Contemporary, Colour' were the three words used to describe Custo Barcelona's SS 2014 collection, and rightfully so. Custo's use of color and textiles never cease to amaze me. This season, Custo presented a tribal inspired men's and women's line with cool laid back silhouettes. Perfect for the world traveler. Relaxed, colorful, sophisticated, and fun.

NYFW: Stylin.. Just A Little Bit

Last weekend I made my way to New York for fashion week (GREAT IDEA), and enjoyed every bit of it. I didn't spend much time at the Lincoln Center this time around, but I still managed to capture some pretty cool looks. Check it.

THIS... Is a Big Deal

...At least for me anyway. Two weeks ago, while in NY for Fashion Week, myself and friends were shot by the legendary Bill Cunningham. The creator of Street Style Photography (Please watch his documetary if you havent, titled "Bill Cunninghm's New York". Here is an old post leading up to the DC Screening Here).

This is how it went; Dana, Amber and I are sitting outside of the Lincoln Center resting our tired feet, and here comes Bill... camera in tow. He's checking people out as I suspect he normally does, walks by us, stops, looks at me...raises his camera and snaps. I'm smiling for the camera, and looking into the lens; but he doesn't want that. Instead he directs me to look away, as if to catch us candidly. Now let me tell you how elated Dana and I were after I told them Bill had just taken our picture! I'm all like OMG,OMG and Dana's like WHAT?! Meanwhile Amber was just like"Um, okay." Dana and I looked at her like O_O and had to let her know who Bill was (funniest moment of the day I tell you.) Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about this. Check it out HERE, and peep the video slide show!

They Aint Messin With My Kicks..

Yall like that title right? LOL Anywho, peep the pics.

I Love Your Look...

While in NY doing the usual style spotting at the Lincoln Center, I came across  a few individuals who's personal style I found to be rather intriguing. Take a look, what do you think?

As Seen In....

While in NY for Fashion week, I had the privilege of being photographed for two publication's Street Style sections. International Fashion Times and Essence! I know there may have been a few more; but, of course I was unsuccessful in receiving cards from all photographers lol. Nothinh super fancy about my outfits, I like going for comfort more than anything, and I must say... I am a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my style. Enjoy.

Interviewing Farrah backstage before her show; I was able to ask her three direct questions, as I didn't want to bombarde her with a multitude of them so close to show time.

What was the inspiration behind your Spring Summer 2013 line?

Farah: "Love. You must be able to love what you do, to live with love, to love people around you, the beauties around you. To be able to understand what's going on around you, and I am privileged to have that in me."

Describe the type of woman you design for.

Farah: "Strong, strong personality, kind, dignified, and sensual."

If ther was one quote that summed up your view on life what would it be?

Farah: "Survivor"

 

 Does the model on the right look familiar? If she does its because you've seen her on America's Next Top Model.. It's Lisa Jackson from Cycle 9
