“When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid”
The dolls featured are from the soon to be released So In Style collection. The So InStyle design features more african amercian inspired features. Nevermind these previous offenders below, whose attempts at represention seem to have fell short of the mark for one reason or another.
As we elect the first African American president tomorrow, we reflect on your memory and mission.
Dr. King, thank you for your vision.
So I love to find out what inspires people. Being an artist, I feel like I source my creativity from things I have seen, felt, tasted, even smelled. For inspiration, I love to look at flowers, nature and how colors are put together by the creator. I love looking at paintings and this may sound weird but cartoons from the 80's, girly ones that I never liked to admit that I watched...like strawberry shortcake and rainbow brite and Jem
So my favorite face today of the Ready to wear collections showing in Paris is John Galliano. I do love me some drama and color when it comes to the fashion shows. Especially when there is a clear point of inspiration and reference. The inspirations for Galliano collection was a documentary called Grey Gardens. *shrug, I'm gonna netflix it*
Up close it can be off putting for those that don't really know makeup but when you see it on the runway with all the elements it looks perfect!
Here is one of the looks on Chanel Iman. Check out the red jeweled lips!
