<a name='more'></a><br />
British Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Edward Enninful played with the position of his phone to get the perfect angle as he started his Instagram Live. The viewers quickly jumped from 200 to over 700 as people tuned in for a much anticipated but short-noticed conversation. Grace Coddington, a legendary American Vogue creative director, would be joining him shortly. Edward gave a few hellos to the people commenting as a welcoming gesture until Grace popped in.<br />
<br />
Grace joined the live from her home in Wainscott, New York. Edward began the conversation asking Grace how her lockdown was going. “I’m getting a taste of retirement and its pretty quiet” she said happily and began to talk about the two new kittens she got before the quarantine began. The kittens are as entertaining as the names she gave them. Grace revealed the names Jimi, as in Jimi Hendrix, and Blondie, as in the singer. She also has a 5-year-old cat named Blanket. “I’m afraid to get puppies because Rue isn’t the friendliest at first. But I’d like more” Edward says referring to his dog, expressing that he has thought about getting a puppy.<br />

<h3>
DAYS IN LOCKDOWN</h3>
The day was gloomy and rainy where Grace was. She said her days follow the weather. When it’s a nice day out she likes to garden in her yard. “Cutting the bamboo down is heavy work. I’d ache like crazy the next day,” she said. But today she is sitting in and being “lazy.” She sarcastically jokes that luckily Didier, her partner, has been cooking. She states “well I’m English and English people usually do not cook, have you been Edward?” “No,” he replied “but I’ve promised myself that I’d take cooking lessons after we come out.”<br />
<br />
Edward’s days are much different as the head of a lead fashion publication. He said he is in Zoom meetings from 9am to 6pm. “That’s terrible! But I guess you have a job. I don’t have a job.” Grace jokingly says. “I think God is teaching us a lesson to slow down. I’m not religious but it just makes sense that it’s gotten out of control… I know people who are running around with two phones and plugs in their ears. We go to dinner now and everyone is looking down at phones, working. I tell them ‘put that away!’” she said. “That has become our lives,” Edward agrees.<br />
<br />
Grace considers this period as a reset. “I’ve been praying for this moment for the last 15 years, everything has gotten too speedy.” Edward agreed saying the fashion industry has been pushing everyone onto the next thing so quick and that we are constantly pushing ourselves, the shows, and the designers. “They create a collection ever two months, one overlaps the other. How can you ever think straight doing that?” Grace questions. “I sound like an old person…Back in the day we had two collections a year and I thought that was a lot.” They agreed the industry was being pushed to their own breakdown.<br />
<br />
“You’ve got to be of a certain confidence to be pushed like that and then you can go about and organize everything so that it’s all doable. But with these kids you can tell them go do something and they will go and do it.” She said. They agree that now we live in a can-do-everything culture. “Remember at Vogue you use to tell me ‘You’re moving too fast Edward! You can’t do everything!’ In my youth I felt like I had to take every job and do everything.” Edwards says. “I’ve been lucky to pick and choose my assignments,” Grace said realizing her path was very different.<br />

<h3>
HOW EDWARD AND GRACE MET</h3>
Grace Coddington: I remember seeing you at the shows you stand out.<br />
Edward Enninful: Well there’s not many that look like me, back then anyway. I’ve always loved your work but I never had to courage to come up to you and introduce myself. I was walking down 7th avenue and I got a phone call. I thought it was one of my friends, they said “Hello Edward, its Grace.” I asked who’s this and they said <span style="font-family: inherit;">“Grace Coddington, can you come and see Anna?</span>” Do you remember? And when I came to Vogue you were so sweet and you gave me the best advice. And then you sent me off to meet with her.<br />
GC: And I remember telling you to wear high heels and don’t wear black.<br />
EE: I remember meeting with her and making her laugh. And she asked me what photographers do I want to work with and I remember telling her all them were dead. Then we hit it off there…<br />
I remember my first Vogue shoot. There is something called a run-through.<br />
GC: Oh yes, a run-through. You need a run-through even if you’re shooting a sock.<br />
EE: If you all don’t know what a run through it’s when you prep your clothes and put them on the rack and you present it to Anna.<br />
Grace: I remember for me it was always a no, no, no.<br />
EE: My first run-through was a disaster. You and Virginia helped me rearrange the clothes. I remember every day at Vogue watching you, it was amazing. I’d go to lunch and come back and you’d take a room full of clothes down to the most exclusive pieces.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRITISH AND AMERICAN VOGUE & A STORY ABOUT BEATRIX MILLER</h3>
GC: Vogue was an amazing school for me. It was not many people (At British Vogue). Beatrix Miller very much let you have your own head. She wasn’t really a fashion person, she was more so into features but all the designers were her friends. She was also a very shy person, she didn’t do speeches or interviews… I had a dinner for my exhibition at the James Danzinger in Soho and Beatrix flew over for it. I thought everyone should make a speech and I told B, we called her B, and she nearly died at thought of making a speech. So, she wrote it all out in long hand, about 100 bits of paper and she was made to stand up in the middle of dinner and when she stood up her bits of paper fell and went all over. Everybody was feeling so bad for her. But it was ok. She was a great woman and a hell of an editor. It was a very good school, a slow school. I was there for 19 years. It taught me a lot but when I got to American Vogue it’s as if I knew nothing at all. It shouldn’t look like this is work or that we are advertising this dress. You’d have to do it all subliminally. I couldn’t use garments that weren’t in store but I thought “It really doesn’t matter does it?” But it did.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“And don’t be nice to everybody, not even me because they will stab you in the back! And remember I stabbed you in the back and reshot your story.” - Grace Coddington</blockquote>
<br />
<h3>
THE SCENE IN THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE</h3>
EE: There’s a scene in September Issue that I still get emails about it. I’d literally came out of Anna’s office and she had said my rack was no good. And you came out and started putting clothes together and I was not happy at that point. You had said to me “Edward, you’re too nice!... you remember?”<br />
GC: Yes, I said something like “And don’t be nice to everybody, not even me because they will stab you in the back! And remember I stabbed you in the back and reshot your story.”<br />
<br />
<h3>
WHAT INSPIRES GRACE CODDINGTON?</h3>
GC: All sorts of things, occasionally its movies, I go to the movies a lot. But movies are tricky because no one wants to see a shoot after they’ve seen the movie. It only works if you’ve seen a preview. Sometimes when I’m at the collections the inspiration just hits me. You then ask the least likely people to come together for the shoot so it doesn’t look boring… it makes so much difference. Let’s say there is a hairdresser you want, you can’t just use whoever.<br />
EE: I remember you always saying “Stick to who you want, wait for the right person. Quality. Never compromise on choices.”<br />
GC: Yes, because you will always be told to hurry up or “it’s just hair” and it’s not. It’s actually a major part of the photograph. And speaking of film, have you seen Unorthodox?<br />
EE: Yes, I have.<br />
GC: The most amazing and power film. The Israeli girl in it, you should put her on the cover!<br />
EE: Well you should style her then Grace!<br />
GC: Yes, I can do that!<br />
EE: We will discuss that later, you’re not going to get me in trouble!<br />

ON CREATING NARRATIVES IN FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY</h3>
EE: Back to shooting; I came from shooting at Vogue Italia with Steven Meisel. We were shooting 50 pages of stories and covers. Then coming to US Vogue where you had one dress and you had to make a story out of that dress, and a narrative out of that dress. Some of those stories were my favorite but also the hardest. People don’t realize.<br />
GC: And sometimes you had to make that believable. But it’s taught me how to please everybody. How I can please myself, and the editor, and so on.<br />
EE: Do you miss creating narratives?<br />
GC: I keep trying to do narratives but it’s difficult to do. You have to do it in the studio because there is no money to do shoots, and that’s hard to do. I’m more ingested in that than how far should I roll up the sleeve or the collage. I like to do lifestyle but it doesn’t mean boring. You can do lifestyle and it be fun. But I hate over accessorized. You know leg warmers and rubber stockings. In a way its enhanced reality, Beatrix Miller always said that to me. You can wear a little to nothing dress and have big hair. And that’s fun, it’s still lifestyle, just enhanced.<br />
<br />
<h3>
WHAT CAN THE FASHION INDUSTRY DO NOW?</h3>
EE: I’ve spent this and every week speaking to young designers and how we can help them. We realized they are all exhausted.<br />
GC: They are probably all exhausted because their brains don’t stop. They should rest, they should take this as an opportunity to reset.<br />
EE: How do you think the industry going to reset? I think we can see what to do as magazines and media.<br />
GC: They were fast becoming not relevant. As you said I think we need to slow down, do less but better, including quality. I’ve said it for 100 years, I don’t wanna do stuff to do stuff. I know Im annoying to work with because I work slower.<br />
EE: No, you’re not.<br />

<h3>
ON GOING BACK SMALL</h3>
EE: Do you think we are going to go back to small teams? You were saying to me in the 70s, there was just you and a photographer, there were not all these big teams.<br />
GC: Yeah we have to because the money spent on those big teams are ridiculous. I mean I kept saying this is ridiculous, I could build a house with this. I mean it’s not needed. If you have a lot of people you’re going to need more people to look after them. And somehow it can slow you down because you can move 4 or 6 people but you can’t move 25 ya’ know? I think it has to be smaller teams and people can’t have a million assistants with them.<br />
<br />
EE: I’m looking forward to what this world will be when this is all over not just the industry.<br />
GC: I’m looking forward to doing another story for you. I had a shoot lined up but it looks like we can’t use a piece because the designer won’t be selling that collection. I think everyone should make the collections that came down the runway in February and March. They should make those because those are the clothes we will be wearing in December. I mean that’s a part of all of this. Why waste all that energy and creativity from all the shows we just saw and throw them out the window and have to start again from scratch? That’s crazy.<br />
EE: Yeah that’s the more sustainable way.<br />
<br />
<h3>
ADVICE TO STYLISTS</h3>
EE: What advice would you give the stylists today?<br />
GC: Stylists I’d say find another job. I’m joking, I’d say look into film and video and study that more so that than still photography. I feel like that’s where its heading. Look at your career in movies, videos, and stuff like that… I don’t call myself a stylist or a fashion editor. I feel like that is gone, you all are just using freelance people. That’s how identity is lost.<br />
EE: I like using freelancers to get different looks and perspectives but use the same ones for continuity.<br />
GC: I liked being at a magazine and being immersed in that magazine. I’d hope I was a major component in making that magazine good. It’s important for the personality of the magazine to stay straight for the readers. Readers that pick-up Vogue see themselves in it. So, they pick up the magazine to see where they should go next and what they should be doing. If we became rock and roll all of a sudden, it’d be weird.<br />

<h3>
GRACE CODDINGTON’S FAVORITE MODELS AND DESIGNERS</h3>
EE: Who are your favorite five designers dead or alive?<br />
GC: Nicolas Ghesquière, Miuccia Prada, Marc Jacobs, Sarah Burton, and Rei Kawakubo.<br />
EE: Who are your favorite five models that you’ve worked with?<br />
GC: Karen Elson, Rianne Van Rompaey, Tami Williams, Adut Akech, and Natalia Vodianova.<br />
<br />
<br />
Grace and Edward end the conversation mentioning how they must shoot together soon. “You better hurry, I’m getting old,” Grace warns jokingly. “Say hello to those babies for me,” Edward says referring to the cats. “Say hello to Rue,” Grace says. And they exit the live with byes.<br />

It's September and the countdown is on. We have now entered my last few months of living in Louisville and it's starting to hit me. I'm really going to be moving out of the house, away from family, and out on my own (maybe on my own but highly considering roommates.) I'm making the move to New York and I'm proud of myself. Proud of me for finally knowing its time and feeling ready.<br />

As we get closer to the date I'm working alot more, hence why I havent been posting. But I thank everyone who is still reading and viewing the blog. I come here to live my dream, writing about fashion, people, or even just life.<br />
<br />
It's currently the middle of Fashion Month and I haven't looked at more than 20 shows. Once things slow down I will be looking, reviewing, writing, and making some trend reports. Until then, I'll leave you all with a word that has stuck with me and that I tell anyone who is fearing their dreams.<br />

Doing a shoot in front of the Omni on 2nd Street downtown was quite the idea. It was buzzing during happy hour causing plenty of stops for people to walk past. But there were plenty of compliments to accompany the pauses. My vivid asymmetrical neon green dress caught the eye of many because you literally could not miss me. Neon green or lime is my favorite color and if anyone knows me, they know that fact alone describes me well. Loud. And since turning 24, I have made this term my own thing and began to embrace it.<br />
<br />
Being loud and a black girl is not the mix anyone wants to be. You're automatically ghetto or in new terms: <i>rachet</i>. You didn't wanna be the girl in class that everyone noticed because she couldn't control her volume. You didn't want to do anything out of a "normal" because then you'd be attention seeking. No one wanted to be the loud black girl.<br />
<br />

<br />
I remember I was in middle school and I went to the mall with my friends. We were walking past the stores and I'd thought something was funny so I laughed. But my laugh was so loud it echoed and an open restaurant with guests sitting looked over. My friend tapped me and said "Damn girl you are loud." And I rolled my eyes at the people who were looking at me, and I said "So what?" We weren't the only teens in the mall and I didn't think I was any louder than anyone else. But I questioned "Oh my god, am I the loud black girl?" I had always gotten in trouble in class for talking too much or laughing at the class clown. We had to wear uniforms in middle school and I got in trouble for over accessorizing and wearing other blues than navy. Was I the attention seeking girl? Or did I just have a very expressive personality?<br />
<br />
When Cardi B's song "Bodak Yellow" entered the Billboard charts she became the subject for critics and the Internet. Originally everyone loved Cardi B for her raunchiness and wild mouth on Vine and Instagram. Some were inspired by her "glow up" but after her transition from Love & Hip Hop to the actual Hip-Hop Top 100, her personality suddenly became a problem. "She's too ghetto," "She needs to calm down," and "Her antics are too much." All the statements really made me wonder what was so wrong? People expected her to change or become quiet? Some people wondered why was a ghetto woman being praised when normally we as a society bash them? It was a good question but she only inspired me. I'm loud and had been raised in such diverse settings that I don't quite remember meeting too many girls like myself. Although it is not what we applaud or rave on the daily, Cardi B's presence was representation. Representation of girls like myself.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
City Girls and Meg the Stallion are a part of the wave of women rappers who represent what loud means to me: multi-talented, opinionated, expressive vocally and visually, with a general "It's me!" aura. From the craziest Twerk video of 2018, to outlandish red carpet outfits, these women feel relatable and remind me of the traits I love most about myself.<br />
<br />
My laugh is still as loud as middle school me. The brighter the colors I wear, I now wear unapologetically with a Naomi walk. I dance freely and as wild as I want because it's me and I love it. My loudness may turn heads but it's praised with a "YASSSSS" by people who love and support me. It wasn't always easy being loud but now I'm loud and proud. Ghetto and rachet are words I embody and there is no shame in it because there is nothing wrong with it to me. And that is what matters.<br />

Every first Monday in May, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York rolls out the red carpet for hundreds of celebrities, guests, and paparazzi for the annual fundraiser MET Gala. Each year attendees are encouraged to match or exceed the theme. This year's theme was camp, based on Susan Sontag's "<a href="https://faculty.georgetown.edu/irvinem/theory/Sontag-NotesOnCamp-1964.html" target="_blank">Notes on 'Camp'</a>." The easiest way to explain camp in short was included in her essay: "love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration." The celebrities did not disappoint as they arrived in style and in their interpretations of camp.<br />

1. KACEY MUSGRAVES BARBIE MOMENT WITH MOSCHINO</h3>

<br />
Decked out with her oversized pink glasses, a hairdryer clutch, and in a pink whip, Kacey Musgraves arrived in perfect Barbie style for MET Gala 2019. Designed by Jeremey Scott of Moschino, king of playfulness, the pink maxi leather coat with a slit had a matching Barbie doll sold at the Metropolitan of Art Museum for $75. It did sell out but Barbie approved of her look with a repost on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BxJLFeTBBFI/" target="_blank">their Instagram</a>.<br />

2. LENA WAITHE IN PYER MOSS ALONGSIDE DESIGNER KERBY JEAN-RAYMOND</h3>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images</span><br />
<br />
“I really wanted to make sure my outfit represented the black drag queens who started this camp thing about being over the top,” Lena Waithe <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1038507/here-s-how-lena-waithe-honored-nipsey-hussle-and-other-rappers-at-the-2019-met-gala" target="_blank">told E! on the red carpet</a> with the designer Kerby Jean-Raymond standing next to her. The two both wore a 1930's inspired zoot suit with statement text on their backs. Kerby, Designer of Pyer Moss, has been a statement maker for black culture and activism since designing. The suits appear pin stripe from afar but up close are lyrics from empowering songs like Nas's "<a href="https://genius.com/Nas-i-can-lyrics" target="_blank">I Know I can</a>" and Jay Z, Drake, Tupac, and more. On top of that, they were embellished with <a href="http://johnnynelson.nyc/blog/" target="_blank">custom buttons by Johnny Nelson</a> that included the portrait of rappers and LGBTQ icons. Between the zoot suit silhoette and the micro details this MET Gala look held the most meaning of the night. Camp has always been in black culture and its often left out the conversation. Lena Waithe wanted to make sure it was not forgotten.<br />

3. THE CAMP PONYTAILS</h3>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Images from Getty via Vogue</span><br />
<br />
A showdown of the ponytails was happening in the beauty sector of the gala in case you missed it. Hailey Baldwin to Liza Hulzy sported ponytails that embodied some form of camp. Ashley Graham's hair went over-accessorized with hair clips from <a href="https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/jewelry-watches/fashion-jewelry/fashion-jewelry-for-women/crystal-gucci-single-hair-barrette-p-513120I47718518?position=4&listName=SearchResultGridComponent&categoryPath=Jewelry-Watches/Fashion-Jewelry/Fashion-Jewelry-For-Women" target="_blank">Gucci</a>, <a href="https://mykitsch.com/" target="_blank">Kitsch</a>, and <a href="https://www.jenniferbehr.com/bobby-pins.html?dir=desc" target="_blank">Jennifer Behr</a>. It was a collage of hair pins and a big red bow done so well. Tessa Thompson's hair was a ponytail wrapped in leather extending to at least 9 feet long. Her fashion stylist Wayman Bannerman of Wayman + Micah <a href="https://variety.com/2019/scene/news/tessa-thompson-met-gala-look-1203206400/" target="_blank">told Variety</a> "She just really wanted to focus on female light as a vision of strength and a position of authority, whatever that looked like, however that could feel." The hair turned whip was the spin on the look giving it a dominatrix vibe.<br />

4. JANELLE MONAE AND HER BLINKING EYE DRESS</h3>

<br />
Janelle Monae added some pink into her black and white wardrobe for the Camp night at MET. Fashion stylist <a href="https://variety.com/2019/scene/news/janelle-monae-met-gala-alexandra-mandelkorn-stylist-1203206818/" target="_blank">Alexandra Malkerholn said</a> that Monae's love for surrealism art and artists like Dali and Piccaso inspired her look. The asymmetrical dress designed by Christian Siriano was accompanied by a set of lips on one side and a bra embellished with crystals on the other. A moving set of feather eyelashes sat atop of the eye moving, giving a "blinking" effect. The flirty "blinks" wowed the MET audience. Mini fashion blogger Aili Adalia coined it her favorite look by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLSBi1FWC1/" target="_blank">wearing a recreated look</a> so we have to agree Monae's dress is definitely a top favorite.<br />

5. CARDI B IN CUSTOM THOM BROWNE AT MET GALA 2019</h3>

<br />
$250,000 per red ruby nipple, 30,000 burnt and dyed coque feathers, 3,000 hours to make, 250 Swarovski crystals on the nails, and a 10 feet wide train are just some of the numbers that made up Cardi B's crimson red gown custom made by Thom Browne for the MET Gala. When she stepped on the pink carpet fans, paparazzi, and attendees lost it. Thom Browne <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/cardi-b-thom-browne-met-gala-2019" target="_blank">told Vogue</a> "I made this specifically for Cardi because she has the ultimate beauty in a woman’s body. That is what the dress is about for me—taking advantage of that beauty." Cardi B <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0QvjlWBKPA" target="_blank">joked</a> that if she lost a ruby she'd have to sell a Birkin bag. Good thing, as far as we know, she didn't lose one.<br />

6. LUPITA NYONG'O'S TAKE ON CAMP, DRAG, AND AFROS</h3>
<img alt="Best MET Gala looks" border="0" data-original-height="1248" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhya6EHFdXhEnoQgT4lz2t4icd-Cb0hjHP8U4TvIf-ktoZd0QMOm2yil_1R70uP-zIrvC7T8N1eWQDScGsiEbwbhEPk0OWr9aBcwfW3WOsyLsV3rgEVRvkOpRMiHlBWGIEfrLV8WJNZzqE/s1600/Lupita-Nyongo-Met-Gala-2019.jpg" title="Lupita Nyongo Met Gala" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Angela Weiss/Getty Images</span><br />
<br />
Upon Lupita Nyong'o's arrival to the MET Gala, most would've thought she gave us the best show of camp that has appeared on national tv, drag. But deeper into her look it all had a meaning. Lupita's hair stylist Vernon Francois reposted the process and inspiration behind her beauty on Instagram. The Black Panther star dawned a towering afro that sat more higher than outward reminiscent of Marie Antoinette's hair. Inspired by Lauren Kelly's 1999 "<a href="https://laurenkelleyworld.com/artwork/1824420_Pickin.html" target="_blank">Pickin'</a>" portrait, the glam team of Nyong'o spray painted several hair picks that had raised fists on their handles to place in her hair. The iconic fist hair pick was designed in 1972 and <a href="http://www.historyworkshop.org.uk/radical-objects-the-black-fist-afro-comb/" target="_blank">patented in 1976</a>. The design was in response to the civil rights movement going on at the time and the heightened embracement of Afros. Vernon captioned an Instagram post with "The raised fist logo represents unity, solidarity. Also known as Black Power." he also added "Our goal is to continue to demonstrate the power of our hair #texture that it is the most moldable and luxurious #hair texture there is." Lupita's face was framed by a rainbow of ruffles on her shoulders and a star patterned gown made by Versace.<br />

7. SNEAKERS AND DRESSES</h3>
<img alt="2019 MET Gala" border="0" data-original-height="473" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggXbBZj1u_CO266wSXRzDzk9eBWLMyI0AY2Mu81e7oegeG-i2kDeiFz2nOR0p3fmZsmcUJVXMWIBpcyUkVpEm96kE21d1D3fxVUU3KcCVEOOXiGN8ipQcukUWp1b9MK6d4BMRciQ36wOo/s1600/Sneakers-at-Met-Gala.jpg" title="MET Gala Fashion" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Getty Images via Vogue</span><br />
<br />
Sneakers and dresses are fashion oxymorons that <i>can </i>go well together. Serena Williams wore a neon pair of Off-White Nikes with her Versace gown as this year's co-chair of MET Gala. She tipped Instagram off last year that <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BjABQ_MlKwR/?utm_source=ig_embed" target="_blank">she often wears sneakers under her gowns</a>. You can bid on a pair of the Air Force 1 Low Off-White Volt sneakers <a href="https://stockx.com/nike-air-force-1-low-off-white-volt?currencyCode=USD" target="_blank">here</a>. Alessia Cara arrived at the MET in Giambattista Valli Couture with mix-matched platform Nike sneakers on (UPDATE: The platform Nikes are actually <a href="https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/comme-des-garcons-cortez-platform-sneakers/product/0400098822223" target="_blank">Comme des Garcons x Nike Cortex</a> platform sneakers from their FW 2018 collection.) The couture and sneaker combo definitely was camp.<br />

<br />
If you thought men didn't have apart of the annual extravaganza, you were wrong. This year men included beauty looks that would champion the MET Gala theme. Ezra Miller entered the event with a mask covering his face only to unveil 7 eyes and a bold red lip. The beauty look fascinated many. Makeup artist Mimi Choi <a href="http://www.papermag.com/ezra-miller-mimi-choi-2636512966.html?rebelltitem=7#rebelltitem7" target="_blank">revealed some details behind the look</a> to Paper Magazine. It took 5 hours to complete and she used body paint and acrylics to ensure the look would last for hours. Choi states that the multiple eyes represent the different sides, emotions, and egos we have as a person. That embodied camp for Ezra and Mimi.<br />

To represent her career lifting from a Disney star to big screen roles, Zendaya entered the Met Gala as princess Cinderella. The dress was by Tommy Hilfiger and included a carriage clutch with crystal clear heels. Zendaya's longtime stylist Law Roach followed along side of her dressed as her fairy godmother with a cape and a wand in hand. People watched as Law, or Cinderella's <i>Fairy God Stylist</i>, waved his wand and the costume begin to light up and the bell shaped skirt opened. It took 3 months of engineering and design to <a href="https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/zendaya-met-2019-dress-transformation-gallery" target="_blank">create the magical dress</a>. Hundreds of camera flashes and much applause welcomed Cinderella into the gala.<br />

"‘Camp cannot be natural.’ For me that was an idea I didn’t totally relate to," Aurora James told <a href="https://www.thezoereport.com/p/aurora-james-2019-met-gala-look-took-5-months-to-make-was-inspired-by-her-time-in-africa-17853197" target="_blank">The Zoe Report</a> about her MET Gala look. Sourcing from Kenya, Italy, and in the states, the designer of <a href="https://brothervellies.com/" target="_blank">Brother Vellies</a> worked with other artisans to create the look that was her narrative for camp. The dress included a bell skirt and bodice with a corset tied back made of raffia and bamboo. She stated that the look look took almost six months. Aurora James also designed footwear for Halsey's and Nicki Minaj's look that night.sherre phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11886951366273407438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667175848791969481.post-57778637292163997572019-04-16T19:52:00.002-04:002019-04-16T19:53:27.479-04:00Spring 2019 Fashion: 10 Dresses you will want this Summer<img alt="Dresses for 2019" border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAVYQliLD2RyUuoptO7jA1epm4f4I-w8q3STRdPe-PZFzd6hap9OxOTeGQMM-pA8VCCwHiDX1JjD5GjrYskzmanzkeni4cCfY3k5Ex-FUrh-HBtnpV3vgkhTrd0_VpTQ4yWuezxP3WAGE/s1600/10-Dresses-Spring-2019.jpg" style="display: none;" title="2019 Spring Fashion Trends" />

<br />
From the jeweled gold lamé Micheal Kors gown to the Balenciaga Thigh High knife boots, Michelle Obama has given us looks no other political figure could. Her second part of "The Becoming" book tour is set to began this week and we've got a few looks we'd like to see our faorite FLOTUS in. Before we get to them, lets recap last year's fashion from her sold out tour.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Michelle Obama wearing Christopher Kane" border="0" data-original-height="507" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggcgl6pVUOh6xQ7uahHGzzPmG0bLvlMKtsmUJV_ziWTlVTIvQ7vNeOm1sKK5SDiQ0_WVGVePNDyGwyoT4cYqePpF3oiAAEN1t_B0Z63ImdwB_EWxhiy1xJFZnmaY8QZV53WKa37iX4LRw/s1600/Michelle-Obama-Book-Tour-Fashion.jpg" title="Michelle Obama in Washington" />

<br />
For the book tour Michelle Obama didn't want to remind us of the First Lady we all knew. She wanted us to get to know Michelle and her own power as a woman. Her stylist Meredith Koop <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/15/fashion/michelle-obama-stylist-meredith-koop.html" target="_blank">told New York Times last year</a> that she wanted to work with more brands that she hadn't worked with before. Michelle's wardrobe has spanned from brands like Cushnie to Thom Browne. And Meredith has been the mastermind behind the style.<br />
<br />
Last tour she wore several designers that were fresh to the game and that appeal to different audiences. Pyer Moss, Akris, and Loewe are a few of those brands. Koop suggested in her last interview that Michelle would be wearing a lot more suits and pants. And that she did.<br />

<br />
We are in the midst of the second part of the tour and we are loving every look as usual. This time the "Becoming" tour kicked off in Washington and will be headed to Europe in April. Here are some outfits and runway looks we'd like to see her in.<br />
<br />
<h4>
IF SHE REMAINS SUITED</h4>
Michelle surprised us when she wore the yellow high slit Balenciaga dress just when we were getting acclimated to suits but if she remains in suits here are some recommendations:<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
IF SHE REMAINS BRAND LOYAL</h4>
During Michelle's First Lady days there were a few brands that dressed her and that she wore often. These brands included Thakoon, Jason Wu, and J. Crew. Here are three more designers she has worn multiple times:<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<h4>
IF SHE HONORS THE LOCATION</h4>
When Meredith Koop has dressed Michelle Obama, they take the location of said appearance in consideration. It has also been known that designers from different countries will dress a figure when they visit.
<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2OLLFiz2ie_gWwe7Ddr2otCBlDpcr6EvtekYvuab60QbqUtvnH3DBLqmtmMYUrqXKzLhut7szwFkRNEFK0xY7l1MT8FQYVXQoHkki8icSSMWQIo-eEqJ-JkxyuuP6H0a0rzr535g5TRU/s1600/Michelle-Obama-Tour-Canada-Europe-Fashion.jpg" />
<br />
When in Sweden, Stockholm based Acne Studios Spring 2019. When in Paris, wear Chloe Spring 2019. When in Canada, wear Beaufille's <a href="https://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/beaufille-monet-floral-embroidered-dress-item-13212520.aspx?" target="_blank">Monet floral embroidered dress</a>.<br />
<br />
<h4>
IF JAMILA JONES WERE TO STYLE HER</h4>
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/fashionistamila/?hl=en" target="_blank">Jamila Jones</a>, designer of <a href="https://www.jamilamariama.com/" target="_blank">Jamila Mariama</a> and a designer at Macy's, weighs in with her picks for Michelle Obama:<br />
Look one: "I’m obsessed the colors and texture of this matching plaid set by designer Stella Jean from her recent Fall 2019 collection. Michelle’s style consists of a lot of structured pieces and this outfit does that but with a eye-catching edge!"<br />
Look two: "This shade of yellow would look so stunning on her. I love how the volume sleeves and fit and flare skirt creates a strong silhouette. This knit two piece design is from Italian designer Roberto Cavalli’s Fall 2019 collection."<br />
Look three: "Black designer, Laquan Smith, is known for his ability to create glamorous but sexy designs. Michelle has always supported black designers during her time as First Lady and I think she would rock this trench coat so well. Animal print has been a huge trend on the runway and this piece is a show- stopper."<br />
<br />

<br />
Stella Jean Fall 2019, Roberto Cavalli Fall 2019, Laquan Smith Fall 2019<br />
<br />
Lastly, Jamila would love to see Michelle Obama in one of her dresses from Macy's. "Michelle Obama has great sense of fashion and has always worn a variety of designs ranging in price and popularity. I designed this striped wrap midi dress for Macy’s and it has such a classic style and great fit." You can shop the piece <a href="https://www.macys.com/shop/product/i.n.c.-striped-faux-wrap-dress-created-for-macys?ID=6700172&CategoryID=5449" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h4>
IF I WERE TO STYLE HER</h4>
I personally have loved Michelle Obama's fashion transition from First Lady to a best selling author. She has always graced us with elegance, poise, and a hint of "I'm still a grown women and I'm sure in my own skin." From shoulder baring dresses to thigh high heeled boots she shows that she can make a statement, be sexy, and still be a boss. For the continuation of the tour I'd love for the suits to stay and I'd like to see more independent owned fashion labels. Or even better, <i>black designer brands</i>.<br />

In February I turned 24 and like most people in their 20s, I'm trying to find my way. Adulting is new and I'm rejecting it. Relationships and friendships are being tested and I'm hating it. My weight is going up and I'm trying to acknowledge it and go to the gym. But hey, we're all figuring it out as I said. Recently I learned something that I wanted to share (as usual), and I hope it resonates with someone.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Spring 2019 Trends" border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjljx2UZs0PvBDume-phLZScEOl_cDuFLK3XvDirb3O7mtY2G-hBpM8kbO4j6cFu35tX5lMdjYMYV0mLjJnovRlOg13a_Z_lB-8fHBHZTYeQhKSDwXcXpG7DWdck-5fEVXsaxLCRIX9Pag/s1600/Sherre-P-Louisville-Blogger2.jpg" title="Spring 2019 Blogger" />

<br />
To get straight to the point, <u>not everyone is going for the same thing, in the same way, for the same reasons</u>. Just because we all are on a self love journey doesn't mean we all want to lose weight or don't want a romantic relationship. Self love can be healing from trauma, it can be learning to be comfortable at the size you are whether its a 2, 10, or 20. Self love is a broad topic and we can't assume.<br />
<br />
Earlier this year I was questioning if someone around me knew what love was. I, for reasons, didn't think they knew how to express it and receive it. Let me start with saying one, it was not my business. Two, who was I to say if they knew what love was or not? I soon realized that just because love looks one way to me, doesn't mean it looks the same to others. Everyone is not the same and our aspirations/endeavors wont pan out the same. <i>And that is ok</i>.<br />

<br />
<br />
We are all on separate journeys. Some of us are similar, some of us live in different worlds. And you know what, that's what makes us unique. Live your life and accept lessons as they come. Accept peoples differences. If it isn't harmful, it's ok. And lastly, we all will get where we need and want to be in time.<br />

Upon every red carpet event there are celebrities we know are going to bring their A game. There are a few who continue to slay through their other events like talk show appearances, performances, or just their everyday life. I decided to do something fun this time around and play stylist for our favorites. There were looks I saw during the Spring 2019 fashion week season that immediately made me think about certain people. From Cardi B to Issa Rae, here are the looks I think we'd love to see some of Hollywood's show stoppers in.<br />
<br />
<h3>
LUPITA NYONG'O</h3>
<img alt="Lupita Nyong'o in blue Calvin Klein Dress" border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdRvzh5QYnrKiaXmkYZsTbf1DrjL1CwFH41bnsgB7GEs_jBk8OO5Yrpste2gatiRxFc0TI9MZ5z1m5cxolb0v25S09_UHSUBwM1YELGwmk89J3HCkV6fO3y9vVUo6VBcP7eevTzYaCmZ0/s1600/Lupita-Nyongo-Golden-Globes-2019.jpg" title="Lupita Nyong'o Golden Globes 2019" />

<br />
Lupita Nyong'o has been deemed a style star since she wore that sky blue, deep plunge Prada gown in 2014 at the Oscar's. She has proven there is no color she can't wear. From blues to yellows she blesses us her beauty and great style every time. Her arms seems to be her favorite to show off so I remembered this when choosing her looks. I'd love to see her in more pants because she has a great figure, and although she's <i>only</i> 5'5 her legs appear to be really long.<br />

<br />
Issa Rae and fashion has been an interesting conversation to us. We knew her on screen and writing talents but never considered her style personality as most of her character has been laid back and cool. Last year she hosted the CFDA Awards and made a fashion statement that has inspired countless celebrities. She has shown that she's willing to try different silhouettes and outfits so I'd love Issa to continue playing with color and fun flowing silhouettes.

<br />
<br />
Cardi B has came onto the scene and taken over. Following in the footsteps of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown, she has became a figure to big fashion labels. Dolce & Gabbana invited her to perform for the creative director of the brand, Domenico Dolce's, birthday in 2018. Her stylist, Kollin Carter, rarely misses the mark. In 2019 I want her to continue to mix sexy and outrageous and keep us talking.

<br />
Angela Bassett is an actress who has inspired many. She eludes strength and femininity. She also reminds us of what taking care of yourself looks like. Her style is very structured and clean. I'd love to continue to see her in pants and suits, but with a spin. Change up the straight lines, give us illusions, and shape.

Break-out star of "<i>If Beale Street Could Talk</i>" captured our attention at the 2019 Golden Globes in a custom blush pink tulle gown by Dior. Like Lupita, her rich skin tone serves as a beautiful canvas for colors. She is young has a very pretty style. Florals and lace fit her well. I'm excited to see her style develop, evolve, and flourish with her career.

Marsai Martin is one of Hollywood's youngest. I'm excited for Marsai this year as her film "<i>Little</i>" comes out in April with Regina King and Issa Rae. For the premiere I can imagine her in a dress bigger than life (maybe a Giambattista Valli number.) This is a big moment for her as she celebrates being the youngest executive producer on a Hollywood film.<br />

How could I make a list and not include Beyoncé? But how could I style like Zerina Akers, her current stylist? Beyonce has been stopping the world every Instagram post. She is a celebrity who celebrates her curves. Most pieces accentuate her hips and her tops cut low and we never complain. Beyoncé is doing amazing but here's some pieces that would look great on her.<br />

Another young star of Hollywood, Yara Shahidi, has given us countless looks already. Her style is fun and flirty, but she can be throw a few rough seams and cut outs in there and we love that too. Yara pulls off pastels beautifully and high end designers like Prada and Tory Burch have created customs for her. I'm excited to see more of Yara.<br />

Rihanna, oh Rihanna. When it comes to fashion there is nothing she isn't willing to try. Asymmetry, androgynous, sexy, and damn near nude. We never know what to expect. Rihanna gives you a "I do what I want" in feminine pink to oversized dark hoodies. She is definitely a star we look forward to seeing at any event.<br />

This past year Tracee Ellis Ross has expressed her love for streetwear style with skirts and sneakers and jogging suits. She loves her an oversized number and she knows what she wants. Her confidence in everything she wears is admirable and we love her fashion background. She is another person we love on Insta.<br />

THE ONES WHO GO BIG WHEN THEY SHOW UP</h3>
There are very few people we expect to show up in a dress larger and louder than life. Lady Gaga, Tracee Ellis Ross, Zendaya, and Rihanna make up the small group of women who step on the carpet and stop the show.<br />

<h3>
15. Adut Akech, the second Black Model to be Chanel's Couture bride</h3>
In July, Karl Lagerfeld chose South Sudanese model Adut Akech to be the Chanel Bride in the Fall 2018 Couture show. This is the second time a black model has walked as the bride of the brand's show since 2004 when Alek Wek walked. Although Adut is a new model, she has made a statement for herself already. She won Model of the Year according to Industry insiders on <a href="https://models.com/mdx/model-of-the-year-awards-2018/" target="_blank">Models.com</a> and walked over 30 shows this past Spring 2019 season. We don't see the 19 year-old model slowing down either with 2 Vogue covers in December 2018.<br />

<h3>
14. Tiffany Haddish's favorite white Alexander McQueen dress</h3>
If you haven't noticed the all white, embellished neck, thigh-high slit gown on Tiffany before, you must've had your eyes closed all <i>this year</i> and <i>last year</i>. She first wore the dress to the premiere of the movie "Girls Trip" in 2017, then while hosting Saturday Night Live in 2017 as the first black stand up comedienne to ever do so, and two more times in 2018. Ms. Haddish said she still is ready to pull the dress out at any moment to <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/09/tiffany-haddish-fashion-week" target="_blank">Vanity Fair in September</a>. Tiffany said this was her first major purchase as a star and paid $4,100 for the dress. Wearing red carpet dresses twice is taboo in Hollywood but Tiffany Haddish may have us reconsidering that.<br />

13. The Harlem Fashion Row x Lebron 16 Shoe Designers</h3>
In 2017, Brandice Daniels, the Founder of Harlem Fashion Row, received a call to see if she could round up some black fashion designers for a project. Little did she know, this call was from Nike for a Lebron shoe collaboration. Brandice suggested three designers she'd worked with and they asked the 3 designers to visit Nike to chose one to work with for the shoe. After the visit they called Brandice and said they wanted all 3. Over the last year Kimberly Goldson, Felisha Noel, and Undra Celeste Duncan collaborated to create the first women's shoe in Lebron James x Nike collection. The NBA-star said "Being the son, husband, and father of strong African American women, I felt like this was something I wanted to do for them and for all the strong women out there who are succeeding despite what might be stacked against them." Lebron wanted to support, represent, and uplift black women with this project. The shoe sold out in 5 minutes online.<br />

<h3>
12. Insecure's Costume Designer, Shiona Turini</h3>
Insecure is the <i>it show</i> for black girls. A lot of people don't realize that black girl magic happens behind the scenes too. In the middle of taping the third season, Shiona Turini took over costume design to keep the girls' individual styles up and to state a message. Including brands like Off-White, Maki-Oh, and Pyer Moss, it was a boost of visibility for brands with black designers. One of the most talked about look was Issa's <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/03/style/insecure-hbo-fashion-style.html" target="_blank">Drie Van Noten Blazer on the episode where she quit's</a> "We Got Y'all." The print was very Issa and was a easy way to show how high fashion could work in a basic wardrobe.<br />

11. Lindsay Peoples Teen Vogue appointment and the "Black in Fashion" article</h3>
Earlier this year the "<a href="https://www.thecut.com/2018/08/what-its-really-like-to-be-black-and-work-in-fashion.html" target="_blank">What it’s really like to be black and work in fashion</a>" article shook the fashion industry up. Shared in the write-up were experiences from black industry insiders, models, bloggers, and more. It was an important conversation starter that acknowledged problems in fashion industry, that also included solutions to help promote change. This all was curated by Lindsay Peoples Wagner. She was not afraid to go there. And the bravery anded her the Editor-in-Chief position at Teen Vogue in October.<br />

10. Issa Rae's all black designer outfits while hosting the CFDA Awards</h3>
Issa Rae was the first black woman to host the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards. While hosting she stood by her coined phrase "<i>I'm rooting for everybody black</i>" and wore all black designers through the event. Issa's sparkly blue custom jumpsuit was by Pyer Moss with a black belt that read "Every N---a is a star." Later she wore designs by Sergio Hudson and Victor Glemaud. This event did inspire Tracee Ellis Ross to later wear all black designers on the AMAS as she hosted.<br />

9. Naomi Campbell's Fashion Icon Award</h3>
Naomi Campbell is finally collecting her well deserved accolades this year. At the 2018 CFDA Awards she was honored as the Fashion Icon. Naomi is one of the few supermodels from the 80s still working. She landed a NARs beauty campaign recently which is her <a href="https://www.wmagazine.com/story/naomi-campbell-first-beauty-campaign-nars" target="_blank">first beauty campaign</a> in her 3 decades of working.

<h3>
8. Serena Williams Tutu Leotard</h3>
In October, tennis officials attempted to ban the Nike catsuit Serena Williams wore to one of her tennis matches. But instead of a fight, Serena showed us she can play in anything. Wearing a Nike x Off-White leotard and tutu combo at the U.S. Open, we deem Serena a true badass. She sported a black tutu dress, then a lavender one at a later match. Serena Williams commented about the dress to Vogue about the collaboration: "I felt so feminine in the tutu, which is probably my favorite part of it. It really embodies what I always say: that you can be strong and beautiful at the same time."<br />

7. Meghan Markle and her wedding dress</h3>
In May, 29 million people tuned it to watch The Royal Wedding between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Dressed in a wide, almost off-the-shoulder bateau neckline, white Givenchy silk gown, with a 16-foot veil, we watch as she was united with her love. Many critics said the simplicity of the dress kept us focused on the occasion and on Meghan which is very true. She's nothing short of stunning.<br />

6. Slick Woods in labor at New York Fashion Week</h3>
Little did we know when we watched the live of Savage x Fenty's first runway show during New York Fashion Week Spring 2019, that the pregnant Slick Woods was in labor while strutting down the runway. In a harness bodysuit, pasties, and pumps the Fenty Beauty muse slayed. A few days after on Instagram she posted a picture from the show with the caption including "A lewk, 14 hours of labor, and A king is born. This is the face of a WOMAN IN LABOR, we hold shit down most of us don’t even know how much we’re going through, I’m here to say I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT WHENEVER THE FUCK I WANT AND SO CAN YOU." She showed the strength of a woman and left us all inspired.<br />

Ruth E. Carter brings magic to every movie she’s worked on. From Spike Lee’s “School Daze” to the 2014 award-winning “Selma,” she has created connected to the culture. When Black Panther hit the screens there was no doubt Wakanda was inspired by Africa. Ruth and the design team researched and hunted down authentic African wear and jewelry. She wanted an afro-futuristic vibe mixed with Africa untouched by colonizers. Black Panther was the #1 Box Office hit of 2018.<br />

We already knew Cardi B was a Fashion Nova girl before Bodak Yellow, but when the collaboration was announced fans prepared their coins. Selling out in 3 hours, the collection consisting of 82 pieces was a success for the most googled fashion brand of 2018. Cardi B commented that creating a fashion line was one of her dreams come true. With a Reebok collaboration in the works, this will not be the last we see of Cardi B in fashion.<br />

3. Rihanna at the Met Gala</h3>
Dressed in a strapless beaded white mini corset dress and a matching oversized coat, Rihanna gave us one of the best looks at the annual Met Gala event this year. The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosts a fundraising event every May for their Costume Institution. This year the theme was "Heavenly Bodies," a highlight of the interests of Catholicism in fashion. Rihanna took the ensemble to the next level with a matching bishop’s mitre created by Stephen Jones who collaborated with John Galliano, creative director of Maison Margiela, for the look. Rihanna co-chaired the event in 2018.<br />

2. Beyoncé’s September Vogue Cover</h3>
While the HBCU themed Coachella performance and On The Run Tour II brought us countless looks, this September 2018 American Vogue cover topped it all. Making history, this was the first American Vogue cover shot by an African-American. Beyoncé had a choice in picking who she wanted to photograph the spread and she choose the 23 year old Tyler Mitchell. She said in her <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/beyonce-september-issue-2018" target="_blank">self-written cover story</a> "If people in powerful positions continue to hire and cast only people who look like them, sound like them, come from the same neighborhoods they grew up in, they will never have a greater understanding of experiences different from their own. They will hire the same models, curate the same art, cast the same actors over and over again, and we will all lose."<br />

1. Michelle Obama in Balenciaga</h3>
Even though this just happened, it is the Black Girl Moment of the Year! Michelle Obama ended the first leg of her tour at Brooklyn's Barclay Center for her best-selling book "Becoming Michelle Obama." Wearing a high slit yellow dress from Balenciaga’s Spring 2018 collection with a pair of <a href="https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/balenciaga-sequin-knife-thigh-high-boots/product/0400097285435?" target="_blank">4-inch thigh high boots</a> covered in gold sequins, Michelle broke the internet. This is not something we'd expect a former First Lady to wear but we will be forever grateful for this moment. Her stylist said Michelle wasn't thinking about wearing dresses originally because it would associate her to the First Lady we knew.<br />

<br />
December 3, 2017 I posted on here and Instagram promising myself I'd start taking my writing serious. Over this last year I have been consistent with outfit posts, writing, and sharing my face and work on all my social media. I can say 2018 was a successful year.<br />
<br />
When I started back posting I brainstormed things to write about and ways to dive deeper into the fashion industry without having a job in it. I began following other writers who focus on the scene and arts. Robin Givhan, Kimberly Drew (also know as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/museummammy/?hl=en" target="_blank">@museummammy</a>), and Marjon Carlos are a few I've fell in love with. I've also started listening to fashion based podcasts. These things haven't just taught me more but also kept me inspired.<br />

<br />
<br />
The inspiration kept me writing and I can say this was my "Cardi Year." The average number of views I was getting a month in 2017 was about 400. Now my average sits over 3x that (Hence the quote from "Get up 10".) I've never focused on blog views and it wasn't a goal this year. However it's amazing to see where consistency has gotten me.<br />
<br />
So cheers to a successful year. Not successful because I won an Oscar or got a job promotion (lol) but because I started doing what makes me happy. I stopped my excuses and started believing in me. Watching myself grow is amazing and I can't wait to keep it going in 2019.<br />

It's the first day of Spring 2019 New York Fashion Week and spirits are high. Street style is on and the shows are off to a start. It’s a fashion enthusiast holiday, so like the others I’m stalking The Shows as they go live, waiting for the coverage and photos. As the first day ends I am mesmerized by a collection with patterns clashing, crocheted pieces layered with flowing dresses, and diversity. Ulla Johnson’s Spring 2019 Collection was enchanting. In the Vogue review Johnson stated she was inspired by the Herero tribeswomen and quilters of Gee’s Bend. This caught my attention, so I went to find out, who and what inspired this collection.

<h2>
GEE’S BEND QUILTMAKERS</h2>

<br />
About 117 people populate a small town in Wilcox County, Alabama along the river. The town sits at the bend of the river, giving it half of its name, Gee’s Bend. In the early 1800s Joseph Gee started a cotton plantation there, owning 18 slaves. In the mid- 1800s, Joseph Gee passed, leaving the land to nephews who then soon after sold it to another slave owner named Mark Pettway. He moved from North Carolina to Wilcox County, Alabama, bringing almost 100 slaves with him. Slaves lived there well after the abolishment of slavery working as sharecroppers. In the late 1800s, women of the community begin making quilts to use for warmth. They got their quilting fabrics from old clothing and scraps of material.
<br />

<br />
After slavery the land was sold to a landlord that didn’t keep up with the area and ran himself into debt. During the 1900s the town’s population dwindled. With few resources left after cattle and equipment was seized by people who the absentee landlord owed and a broken ferry system that transported people to the city, money was hard to come by. Also, this was during the time where the Civil Rights Movement was flowing into Alabama. Gee’s Bend got a visit from Martin Luther King, but many of the towns people said his visit did nothing for them, but it did birth the Freedom Quilting Bee.
<br />
<br />
In 1966, black women in the Wilcox County area decided to begin a cooperative to generate revenue into the area. Some visitors and activists recognized the quilts as a possible way for income also influencing this idea. It gained the attention of art collectors who traveled to Alabama to see the quilts and few eventually auctioned them off upstate. The quilts also caught the eye of Vogue, Sears, and Bloomingdales. This helped the sales of the quilts for the women of the Freedom Quilters Bee.<br />

<br />
Bill Arnett, a historian, came to the community after he had seen a photograph of a quilt from Gee’s Bend. He noticed how beautiful these quilts were and some sold for over $1,000 at auctions. He named the ladies "Gee's Bend Quilters". "Until Bill came along he tol’ us we got artwork," a sweet, thick-accented Arlonzia Pettway said. "And I ain’ know what artwork was." And do not confuse the Gee's Bend Quiltmakers with the Freedom Quilting Bee, they were two separate groups, just with the same mission. A few women from Gee's Bend did join the Quilters Bee but not all.<br />
<br />
The ladies’ quilts have gone on to be featured in museums of art in Boston, Houston, New York and even The Smithsonian in Washington, DC. The quilting tradition is still alive in the current generation of the Gee’s Bend descendants.

THE HERERO GENOCIDE AND DRESS</h2>

Above South Africa on the South Atlantic Ocean coast sits the country of Namibia. If you're familiar with African countries you'd know Namibia is known for their beautiful landscapes and large protected conservations. The people of Namibia walk the streets in normal fashion with the richest cultures but tragedy haunts their past.<br />
<br />
A genocide largely silenced and unheard of occurred between Germans and the Nama and Herero people (tribes that lived in Namibia) during the early 1900s. In the late 1880s Germans ruled a colony in South West Africa that included a few tribes. The natives of the land rebelled but with little success. At the beginning of the 1900s German leaders of the colony and military decided it was time to take over. Land and cattle were taken into German possession soon after and anyone who rebelled was killed. They didn’t view the tribes as humans. Quoted from General Lothar von Trotha “A humane war cannot be waged against those who are not human.” They killed people, held them captive in camps, and even poisoned the waters nearby that would kill them if they drank it. Researchers estimated the population of the Herero people to be 80,000 before the genocide. By 1908 it was down to 15,000. A little over 80% of the population had been killed or dyed during flee. At the end when Germans felt satisfied with the “extermination” of original natives of the land, they kept the remaining Herero people in camps where they did slave labor.<br />
<br />
Namibia didn’t gain independence as a country until 1990 where they detached from South Africa who had been going through apartheid. Today Namibians have their land and freedom back. While piecing their culture back together they decided to showcase their pride in a courageous way. They took some of what belonged to Germany.<br />

<br />
Long dresses fitted under the breast, puffed shoulders, and bell flared to the floor matched by a horn shaped hat. Often a patchwork of fabrics for normal everyday wear or a solid color or fabric for special occasions, this is the Herero Dress. An iconic Victorian dress silhouette was adopted by the Herero women from the German women that once occupied their space.<br />
<br />
Anthropologist Dr. Lutz Marten said the Herero people believe that “wearing the enemy's uniform will diminish their power and transfer some of their strength to the new wearer.”<br />

The Herero dress is captivating to visitors of the country as it is worn in the highest heats but the women have no complaint. It is a symbol that they have not forgotten the genocide of their people. Germany has issued few half apologies as they try to look over the atrocity but the Herero people will never forget it.<br />

Ulla Johnson, designer of Ulla Johnson, has an eye for artisanal practices, no surprise that the Herero tribeswomen and the women of Gee’s Bend caught her eye. Her collections often include batik prints, a special wax-resistant dying technique derived from Indonesia use to create pattern fabrics. The brand is also known for the bohemian vibe it gives off with a mix of global influence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Stating exact inspiration is not common during the fashion seasons. Inspiration from the history and cultures of African and African American people often go unstated. But to start off Fashion Month with exact locations and people who inspired a collection was refreshing. To see the influence placed into the collection where it doesn’t overpower the original aesthetic but drove the designer to push her talents is admirable. It is what fashion has been missing.</div>

<br />
<br />
You can see the geometric patterns in the tops and bodices of dresses referencing the Gee’s Bend Quiltmakers. Shaped ruffled shoulders hand-woven from raffia, a palm tree native to tropical African regions, was a play on the high puffed shoulders from the Herero dress; along with the patchwork of prints. When you know the inspiration behind something you look it differently. Not only was the collection still eye-catching; the looks now are strong and prideful. You can see struggle in the art but you feel the liberation of overcoming through the free-flowing dresses. That is a collection. That is influence done right.<br />

Looking out the window of my Uber on FDR Drive to LaGuardia Airport, my eyes bounced from car to car, to the tall brown apartment buildings, to the East River. The day wasn't the sunniest but it wasn't raining like it did on the previous days I there. As the sun hid behind the clouds, my heart felt fulfilled but I was sad. This was the end of my trip and I didn't want it to end.<br />

Going to New York Fashion Week has always been dream of mine and I'd been before but this time it wasn't for work. I originally was going because I wanted to enjoy the shows and the street style chaos, but by the time I was on my flight to New York I had received a few no's and some emails for invites went unanswered. I knew I wouldn't be attending any top shows but it was okay with me, I had made plans. Plus its New York, you could find something to do in minutes with the help from Google and Instagram.<br />
<br />
Over the days my friend Aryea, and I attended 29 Rooms in Brooklyn, Essence Fest, and ate plenty of food I usually wouldn't be eating. Of course, shopping was involved and drinking, we won't even talk about the drinks, but everything was fun.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
On the last full day that I was there, it was a rainy night and there was a show that anyone could attend. The attendees stood on the High Line, an elevated park that starts on 12th Street and runs for almost a mile and a half to 34th Street, to watch the show. The presentation featured models standing under bright lights in the windows posing in silk bandeau lingerie tops in muted colors and black high waisted briefs. The models stood and switched spots for an hour. Umbrellas danced up and down as passersby walked through the crowd on the bridge and the crowd was steady as people watched the entire time. I overheard some people saying "That’s my friend, yes her." One mom screamed at the end "Yes honey, that’s my baby y'all," and the crowd laughed. Standing there, I took in the beauty of all sizes, colors, and confidence. These models were standing in bikinis for everyone to see, opening themselves up to criticism, praise, love, and admiration. But everyone there was supportive and I didn't hear anyone complain about the rain. While I stood there appreciating an opportunity to watch a presentation during the most amazing time of fashion in the city, I was amazed by the support. In Louisville, with a very interestingly small "fashion scene", support is rare. So, to see this was refreshing. The crowd outside started clapping as the girls joined hands in the windows, signaling the end of the show.<br />
<br />
The last two days I ran around shopping. I enjoyed the packed subway trains, and having to push through people to get off at the right stop, and some slippery steps from underground to the street. I didn't allow anything to stop me from enjoying the few days I had there. I overcame the fear and anxiety of being alone and I conquered the crowded and busy places. That was a success.<br />

<br />
<br />
Scrolling on Instagram at the airport I saw many people at The Shows, from bloggers to e-commerce buyers. I admired the collections and on the on-the-go experiences they were having. I noticed my lack of envy that occasionally comes when I see someone living out "my dreams." But then the light bulb came on and I realized, I enjoyed New York Fashion Week how it was meant for me to enjoy it. I don't want to be here for a good time, I want to be here for a long time. Since the age of 15 I knew the fashion industry was the place where I wanted to be and I am here. It’s not always glitz and glam, but one day my name will be on a seat in the front row of a show. I realized the journey is just as amazing as the goal. So, thank you New York for the lessons. And thanks to the plane ride back, where I daydreamed of the one-way flight to New York I will make one day to engulf myself in my dreams.<br />

"If people in powerful positions continue to hire and cast only people who look like them, sound like them, come from the same neighborhoods they grew up in, they will never have a greater understanding of experiences different from their own. They will hire the same models, curate the same art, cast the same actors over and over again, and we will all lose. The beauty of social media is it’s completely democratic. Everyone has a say. Everyone’s voice counts, and everyone has a chance to paint the world from their own perspective."<br />

All those things you didn’t get, all those hugs and kisses. I can retract those things with my son’s life. In giving him that childhood, it heals you as well.

"The thing people don't fully understand about my generation is just how multifaceted we are," she says now. "Oftentimes, people like to oversimplify what [we] believe in or do, whether that's, 'Oh, you're on your phones all the time,' or, 'Oh, you're very self-centered,' but what I've seen from my peers is that we're socially engaged and curious about the world."<br />

"We’re into a zeitgeist where people are fighting for their space to be seen," says Davis. "People have to know that there are different types of women of color. We’re not all Foxy Brown. We’re not all brown or light-skinned beauties with a big Afro. We have the girl next door. We have the older, dark-skinned, natural-haired woman."<br />

<br />
Yes I'm back in all black, did ya miss it? (lol.) Wearing all black is such a go-to. While I did splash some color in there on my most recent outfit posts, I can't forget my old faithful all black. I'm also wearing a new favorite style and brand of jeans that I've blogged about trying ("<a href="http://www.sherrep.com/2014/07/101-pairs-of-jeans.html" target="_blank">101 Pairs of Jeans</a>") and now I can actually tell you guys if they are worth it!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
These are the Cropped Joni Jeans from Topshop. I saw them on the "New Items" page some months back and I told everyone "Im wearing capris this year and I dont care." They looked so flattering and I love high-waisted styles on myself so I bought them. When they arrived, I took them out the packaging and held them up. They looked like leggings and I was prepared to be mad at myself for ordering the wrong size.
<br />
<br />
I looked in the tag and nope, right size. I tugged at them and realize some stretch existed but still, I didn't think these were gonna make it past my thighs.
<br />

<br />
<br />
With some wiggle here and there, they actually did fit. They were form fitting and it showed my curves. I think I've found a new place for jeans (sorry ASOS).<br />
<br />
The rest of my outfit were pieces I've had including these earrings I got back in high school. I actually wore these in my <a href="http://www.sherrep.com/2014/04/always-first-time.html" target="_blank">first outfit post ever</a>. They are just gorgeous. The shoes are new from ASOS (and were on sale). I love the heel. ASOS just always gets me when it comes to heels.
