Essence.com Interview with Elite Model Damaris Lewis

I just wanted to make sure I kept you all in the know about my fun at Fashion week Spring 2011 in NYC.  Click on the picture above and it will take you to Essence Magazine's website where I gave fashion advice based on the Question of the Day-- Stilettos or Flats?  My response was an emphatic Stilettos! Cuz I'm short... and spend the money on a good pair of shoes so that you can get the height without compromising comfort.

The Beauty that is the Work of Monique Pean

 Talk about multi-function! These stunning bangles are made from assorted woolly mammoth, wave diamond and scrimshaw making their beauty nimble enough to go from being a natural history museum exhibit to being a wardrobe must have when dining at the Powerhouse. I feel fortunate to have had a chance to speak with Monique during her presentation.  We are pictured left.

September Style Watch at Fashion Week

It was a wise decision to hold-off posting a September Style Watch winner until I returned from NYC, because Mercedes Benz Fashion Week for Spring 2011 at its new venue (Lincoln Center) was a breath of fresh air.  Not only was there more space to hang out and hob-knob but there was also more room to snap pics of attendees who have a fantastic sense of personal style.  When I saw this gentleman my first reaction was to scream...brotha you are the truth!  His hat is a reworked vintage piece and can be worn several ways.  Here he sports it like a tribal matador.

Go "Wilder" at Apple's Online Store

You asked, We listened.  In September, Apple's Haberdashery will provide a virtual shopping experience via our website!  By clicking on the Shop Online button you can view our online catalog entitled
"Pairings" Curated Vintage Collection for the Fall 2010 season.  This collection was inspired by a naturally beautiful African runway model as well as the outfit she doned for ORGANIC. 

You can expect this concept every fall and spring, where we take inspiration from designers and overarching trends in the fashion industry and  "pair" them up with vintage lovelies from the Apple's Haberdashery wardrobe vaults.

The theme for this season is NATURAL BEAUTY.  We also play up references to the song "You Should Be Wilder, You're No Fun At All."  This tune was played during ORGANIC's Fall 2010 NYC fashion week show.  Caution, this song will get stuck in your head and you'll be singing it all day long.
