In a land far, far away (or just the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles, CA) showed a different side to the usually palm tree riddled city. A desert vibe emerged as guests took a journey against a natural orange sunset, Dior hot air balloons, and a mountainous backdrop (a social media lover’s dream) at Dior’s 2018 Cruise Runway Show. Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri is believed to have gained inspiration for her collection from wall paintings in the Lascaux cave, which was also the inspiration of Monsieur Dior himself back in the early '50s according to Harper’s Bazaar. “Women,” Ms. Chiuri said, “should be able to define themselves.” In the face of very heavy heritage and expectations, according to nytimes. She wanted to provide as many different elements as possible of a wardrobe that could be mixed and matched by the individual as she saw fit. Churi’s wild-wild west collection featured clothes that were high fashion but still wearable for the everyday woman. Bright colored primitive print dresses, wide-brimmed hats were worn by every model, and each western hat featured intricate hand paintings reimagined from cave walls, and lots of airy dresses that flowed right above the dusty runway path as models stomped their way through the safari like tents. From a star-studded front row To the beautiful accessories and pieces that are on our wish list, we couldn’t end this article without mentioning the greatness that is Solange who served as the special musical performance of the night! She performed a set list from her album, A Seat at the Table in an all-white sheer Dior look.

She’s the Queen B for a reason. When she’s not selling out shows, or giving us life as we sip our ‘lemonade’, she is serving looks even while pregnant with twins! Twice the babies, twice the slay-age right? We want to show you our top 8 all time twin pregnancy looks that only she can pull off, as if you need another reason to see why this is one hot mama. Oh the places fashion can lead…From over the top styles, custom designed looks, and not to mention star studded attendees, this annual fundraising ball is as regal as it sounds. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the Met Gala. It’s the time of the year celebrities, designers, and big names in fashion all come together to the opening celebration for the Costume Institute Gala’s annual fashion exhibit, wearing looks that pay tribute to the events theme. This year the exhibition was “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” which meant attendees were meant to come dressed according to theme. Our black kings and queens took their rightful place at the throne as they served looks for the gods. Just take a look for yourself at some of our favs of the night. It seems to be the year of change in the Vogue family. After the newly appointed British Vogue Editor-In-Chief Edward Enninful, Elaine Welteroth is fortunate to share the same Editor-In-Chief title but at Teen Vogue! This historical feat of such high titles held by black individuals is a powerful move, for not only them but to those watching. This makes her the youngest and only the second Black woman to ever hold this title in Condé Nast history. Welteroth's new position is a positive move in the direction of diverse leadership in the fashion and magazine industries. According to Ebony, “Elaine is incredibly in tune with the Teen Vogue audience and has used that unique insight to engage and connect with her readers on a very personal level,” said Anna Wintour, artistic director of Condé Nast and editor-in-chief of Vogue. With positive remarks from such a tough critic like Anna definitely speaks volumes. According to a press release, “In the past year, traffic to TeenVogue.com has increased to more than 9.2 million unique visitors, up from 2.7 million unique visitors last year”, according to a press release obtained by Ebony. Since the shift in leadership, Teen Vogue has received tons of praise for its cutting edge political coverage and digital editorial presence. We are excited to see how Welteroth will continue to add her touches to make Teen Vogue more inclusive of its readers. Whoever said ‘man bags’ weren’t cool, well, look again because Pharrell just did that. Pharrell is known for making the different…fashionable. As to why he is the perfect model for the new Chanel handbag. As the first ever male handbag model for Chanel, Pharrell is paving the way for men who too are on-the-go, but need a place for their belongings. Not to mention also staying stylish. According to Essence, Chanel’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld told Women's Wear Daily in March that the bag's shape was inspired by virtual reality goggles. Lagerfeld also said the new campaign film with Pharrell was designed to show that the Gabrielle could be worn in "many different circumstances." Take a look at Pharrell’s Chanel ad below and let us know if this has a shot at being a hot male commodity. Must be love on the brain because we are excited to see that Rihanna’s Fenty by Puma collab surprise. made its way to L.A. in a surprise pop-up shop! If you don't follow RiRi on Instagram, you just missed your *eh hem* official invite to her surprise pop-up shop in Los Angeles. The exclusive and limited-edition pieces will only be available for two days in L.A. The spring collection has of course been getting a lot of buzz in the fashion world. Her line included lots of pastels, and soft spring colors with pieces featuring lavish satin with bows and ruffled textured looks. Some lucky fans even got the chance to be rung up on Day 1 of the pop-up by the bad gal herself, who played the role of cashier with champagne glass in hand in true RiRi fashion.
This is a little something that we like to call Black Woman Stunting on Diversity! Dutch model of Egyptian and Moroccan descent, Imaan Hamman is the FIRST black model to cover both Vogue China and Japan within a year. Keep in mind we are not even midway through the year. This beauty was featured in Vogue China’s special issue, Faces of Now that included seven separate covers praising the top models of the moment. Photographer Patrick Demarchelier captured the stunning cover of Imaan in a glamorous close-up. She was styled in a structured embellished vest top and matching bottom against a white muted backdrop. For Imaan’s Vogue Japan Go Glam cover, Giampaolo Sgura photographed Hammam in a plunging black Ralph Lauren maxi dress from his spring collection. This cut-out spring look was paired with a metallic statement necklace to tie together the Go Glam look for the May issue.
We absolutely can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for Imaan in our budding diverse fashion world. Are you here for Gucci’s new campaign? The high-end retailer decided to shed its lack of diversity image and feature an all-black cast in a 60’s underground soul party campaign dubbed “Soul Scene”. The latest pre-fall 2017 ad defiantly sparked attention. In a time where it’s cool to be black with popular #BlackGirlMagic and #BlackBoyJoy hashtags, ads such as Gucci’s can be seen as only serving to exploit the now ‘popular’ agenda. While they get an A for effort for the intent on being inclusive, we just couldn’t help but feel this ad was only for relying on the pockets in the black youth. As one twitter user put it: “Gucci is no FUBU” From rap songs to rappers literally named after the brand (i.e.: Gucci Mane), the brand has been a label of success to the black rap community and dubbed as an achievement to its audience, so what better market then the black community right?
WRONG… In a company known for casting one type of model, WHITE, having an all-black ad campaign gave them the attention that they were looking for (minus the backlash). One twitter user said it best: “While the campaign purports to celebrate black soul, it smacks of performance rather than genuine homage,” he wrote. “Is it offensive? Not really. Is it appropriation? Well, there’s the rub. It would be if the ads included the culture. Instead, Gucci presents a reverent, painstakingly recreated facsimile of a culture. More than anything, the campaign is about the look. It’s just drag. This is soul as drag.” Though the images are beautiful and reminiscent of the disco era, the attempt to make the black community feel ‘included’ in a company known for lacking in diversity, was their failed attempt on inclusion. You might recognize Maria Borges from the 2015 Victoria Secret fashion Show making a statement by rocking her natural hair, but now she is making headlines for another reason. This Angolan beauty just became Elle USA’s first African model of the century. After recently being dubbed as Africa’s ‘Models Breaking Barriers’ by CNN, Borges then too became the face of L’Oreal Paris in February. According to the Huffington Post, Borges spoke about the vital need for representation in the fashion industry in her interview. “The fashion industry is here for everyone, [regardless] of color or race,” she told Elle. “When I was growing up, I never saw someone like me, and now the other girls can see someone like them. It’s all about inspiration.” What Borges expressed is everything that Blacklght stands for, positive representation in areas where black faces are not typically represented.
Put it on hold till next time because the luxury streetwear brand is taking a break, effectively immediately. The co-founders Shayne Oliver and Leilah Weinraub have made this choice to focus on their own current projects. According to fader.com, “Weinraub is currently developing her film and directorial career with her upcoming project ‘SHAKEDOWN,’ included in the Whitney Biennial in May. Oliver will be devoting himself in the immediate future to his responsibilities at Helmut Lang.” The news does come as a surprise to the fashion industry since the brand was just gaining recognition by fashion elite’s. Launched in 2006, HBA defied gender stereotypes with its bold ‘envelope-pushing’ collections which captured the attention of many. “Hood By Air was launched because there was something missing — this is the driving force behind the brand,” Oliver told Footwear News in 2015 according to footwearnews. “If you look at each collection, it will tell you what I didn’t see at the particular time.”
The label states that it is not gone for good, and that it will continue to fulfill its creative vision in the near future. We can’t wait to see what creative genius Hood by Air will unveil as their re-release collection. Stay tuned! Look out ladies there is a new editor in town. He is tall, dark, and handsome with a dash ultimate chicness. Edward Enninful is the first man and the first BLACK editor to take ever take on Britain’s most powerful fashion publication, British Vogue. Mr. Enninful, a top stylist and acclaimed fashion director for America’s W magazine, who migrated to Britain from Ghana as a child, is now taking on his largest role yet. At just 16, he became a model for the British magazine i-D after being scouted while traveling and called modeling his “baptism into fashion” according to nytimes. Enninful was a driving force behind the “grunge” movement of the 1990s, and became a contributing editor to Italian Vogue in 1998 nytimes stated. He spearheaded the magazine’s “Black Issue,” declaring his intention to end the “white-out that dominates the catwalks and magazines.” The issue was so successful that Condé Nast printed an extra 40,000 copies. There are a handful of notable exceptions, the fashion industry has an absence of black power players, and that had been a source of immense frustration for Mr. Enninful, who has made a considerable effort to improve things. According to nytimes, He has made headlines with accusations of racism, including after he was assigned to sit in the second row at a couture show in Paris in 2013 when white “counterparts” were in the first.
Maybe we can expect to see a change in the image of British Vogue? Can’t wait to see what Mr. Enninful has planned for the continued British Vogue success. Candice Cuoco the founder of House of Cuoco, best known as a finalist on Project Runway, is making her mark with celebrity fashionista Vanessa Simmons as they debut their collection Bad Butterfly. The duo closed LAFW on Sunday by unveiling their collection for the first time at the exclusive runway show at Hubble Studios in Downtown, Los Angeles. As the audience made their way towards the back warehouse, passing the dark strobe lit mannequins, attendees were met with red roses to continue on with the LAFW theme. This collaboration between these two powerhouses has led to an exciting new women's wear collection. The style of their line was a mixture of bold and sweet which reflects these two designers personalities. Leather accents, flowy dark colored dresses, pink floral decals, and sheer detailing were looks that catered to the modern yet sophisticated everyday woman. With styles that gave a little sass and edge but still allows a girly and sweet aesthetic was the perfect combination that made this collaboration one that is sure to resonate with women everywhere. The power of being sexy and sweet is something that Vanessa and Candice have mastered in this line of Bad Butterfly. What a way to end LAFW, with a little woman power. Bringing chaos to couture, designer Edwin Hayes creator of Sav Noir brought his dark underworld visual to life from the lights, to the music, the dancers and of course to his latest fashion line. Under the dim lit room of the Humble Studios in Downtown Los Angeles, aerial dancers took to the front of the runway as they intertwined themselves in the black fabric to folk singer Almeda Riddle's 'My Little Rooster'. As the lighting rose, so did the music tempo. Models strut their way to down the runway in grunge pieces that Hayes does not shy away from. He is known for creating looks for the bold and daring. This is a brand for those who fear nothing, and don’t shy away from being different in a world where being ‘abnormal’ is well… rejected. Tattoo clad models took to the runway in a sense of freedom as they were praised for their elaborate body ink. No longer did they have to hide how they chose to express themselves. Black-dominate visuals took the runway by force with leather stray jackets, metallic/leather head pieces, and LOTS of black vinyl. Dark and chic aesthetics is geared towards rebellious souls that society chooses to outcast. The brand Sav Noir is about inclusion and representing the alternative world, while bringing a little edge to the 'play it cool' LA vibe. Architect turned fashion designer, Viken Derderian has taken his love of design to new heights by moving into the world of fashion. The Pasadena born native unveiled his latest collection at the Hubble Studios in Los Angeles Saturday night. With chic and sleek looks, each model sported a slick back hairstyle to better focus on the story told through his clothes. His creations emphasized on the textures of fleece and silk materials for a autumn meets spring vibe. Derderian used a color scheme of dark tones such as burgundy, blues, and browns. His collection featured A-line dresses, turtle necks, boxy tops with cut outs. The style of his pieces went no higher than just above the knee, giving nothing but timeless and classy vibes. He is said to view fashion as an intimate architecture of the human body, the creation of moving art. Derderian is doing the fashion world a favor by sharing his passion and love for creating looks that work on and off the runway. LAFW just kicked off and we are ready to see what styles designers are bringing to LA, the budding fashion capital. Thursday night in Hollywood, California, designer Laurel Dewitt who was inspired by pop artist Andy Warhal, showcased her designs inside the upper level of the W hotel. Red lit elevators took guests to the top floor of the W, where mirrors surrounded before entering the buzzing room of mingling crafters of art in the swanky lounge scene. Models were laced in glamorous crystallized headpieces and jewels that covered their bodies as they strut through the center of captivated crowd; making their way to the white cylinder platforms that awaited them along side a rose studded wall display. During the opening ceremony, creators from every artistic platform showed all out when it came to their talents. From live performer Jaylien who performed two of his latest songs (and dance moves) to the adoring crowd. To painters like Robert Vargas who created some pretty awesome portraits on the spot of some of the LAFW guests, To high fashion models like Shaun Ross, To dancers from the Anaheim Ballet, that performed a dance titled ‘Star Girl’ once introduced by head of ballet Larry Rosenberg. And designers like Bijan Machen, who expressed his love for John Wayne and Ralph Lauren which he incorporates into his own style. With a family history in design, he is making a name for himself by creating a jewelry line called “UP” which as he simply put: “I wanted to create pieces that UP-lift others. By spreading love without discrimination; by creating pieces that can be worn by both men and women.” The opening ceremony embodied a night of glam, fashion, not to mention good photo ops with photo booths and great views of the night time skyline. Fashion week is here ladies and gentleman are you ready? The music drops and models strut their way down the runway. From the bright lights to the flashy clothes, there are spectators that wonder why is a fashion show even a big deal? If you are new to the world of fashion, it’s understandable to question its importance.(Don't worry we will bare with you) Let us at give you our top 3 reasons why fashion shows are LIFE. Fashion Trends: Learn All About Them Fashion shows create a platform that connects designers to consumers. These shows are regularly put on to express and unveil to an audience about upcoming fashion trends. Though trends and styles do keep changing between the seasons, it’s the job of the designers to create or in many cases recreate looks that will be ‘IT’ looks for the season. As a brand or designer, fashion shows are major to the success of the company. They help to highlight the direction that their fashion stance is headed thus creating pathways for small designers and boutiques to take not of when choosing items to sell. Fashion shows are a place where designers are allowed to be as creative and eccentric as they want when it comes to showing off their clothes. With designers like Edwin Hayes of Sav Noir and Betsy Johnson who don't shy away from being different, is what keeps fashion exhilarating and people wanting to come back for more. Get Vocal, Get LOUD! Fashion is all about self-expression, using runway shows as a platform is ideal for creating awareness on issues that resonate with designers as well as their brand. Whether it is political, social, or even religion based, it allows consumers to connect with not only the clothing but the designer themselves. Fashion shows do not just stop at the end of a catwalk. They transcend to all works of art. With such an open platform like fashion, it also allows artists like Jason to send a message through fashion. Images By: Blacklght "I was angry at the cooperate world. So I wanted to create something as a rebellion and show my anger and frustration with the paint splatter." Fashion is such a beautiful platform to express what a society might attempt to hinder. Its Apart Of Our Daily Lives Whether we realize it or not, our daily lives do revolve around fashion. From what we wear to work, the outfit we choose for a night out, even down to what we wear to the gym. There have been lines for virtually everything. Even if we don't all buy designer fashion, the clothing we wear is and was created by designers much like the ones orchestrating big runway shows. If you are like Andy’s character from the Devil Wear’s Prada and think that fashion has nothing to do with you, think again. Meryl Streep’s character Miranda Priestley in the film said it best in response to Andy’s snickering towards the stylists deciding between two similar belts. “It's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff.”
*drops mic* The lights fade with attention directed towards the empty catwalk. The beat of the music jumps through your skin. The show is ready to begin...The rush of seeing models take center stage is one thing, but seeing models that represent YOU is a whole other feeling. Seeing runways cascaded with diverse hues of skin tones is a beautiful thing and we believe that there is immense strength in a diverse runway but is there enough representation? In the fashion world, seeing models of color walking the runway is few and far between. Even though the industry is making attempts to ensure that runway diversity mirrors our society, there is still work to be done.
The fact remains that models of color such as Africans, Latinos, Asians, etc are not typically seen walking big runway shows. Runway diversity is an uphill battle when it comes to models of various ethnicities (other than white) landing spots in big-name fashion shows. According to a recent Business of Fashion study article, only 797 of the 3,875 model bookings this season were models of color. Shows like Yeezy Season 4, Kimora Lee Simmons, Brandon Maxwell, Telfar and Ashish have been praised for having diversity in their runway shows with more than 60% of their models being of color. As stated in Vogue, Spring 2016 did provide some of the first hints of headway on runway diversity. But appearing in the shows is only half the fight. What also matters is where you are positioned in the lineup. Designers often save the opening spot in their shows for the women they feel embody the collection as a whole, and this spring several fashion houses chose minority models for their prestige top position. While moments of inclusion have provided a hopeful outlook, there is still plenty of work to be done when it comes to seeing a true representation on the runway. Walking in the same stiletto footsteps paved by Tyra Banks and Selita Ebanks, new comer Jasmine Tookes is making her way down the Victoria Secret runway as the newest model selected to wear the fantasy bra. The California native has been chosen to walk the runway in the $3 million sparkler covered in over 9,000 diamonds and emeralds! With this honor, Tookes who only earned her VS wings just a year ago, is making history by becoming only the third black model to ever have this achievement of wearing the Fantasy Bra. Designed by jewelry designer Eddie Borgo, the Bright Night Fantasy Bra is set to make its debut during the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Make sure to tune in and watch jasmines bra-crowning achievement. In the final week of NYFW designer Marc Jacobs finds himself in the middle of a controversy. No were not talking about his new clothing line. But the hair. That's right HAIR. During his raver-inspired Spring '17 runway show, models (majority white) wore yarn pastel colored deadlocks as a part of his collection. Onlookers were quick to go on the attack calling it cultural appropriation for Jacobs not only choosing to style his models in dreadlocks but barely including ANY models of color in his show. Marc Jacobs was quick to respond via Instagram to spectators… There are those on the other side of the color spectrum (like Jacobs) that just don’t understand the ‘hair issue’ in the black community and call into question black women straightening their hair and why there isn't any backlash towards that. Let’s be clear. The main reasoning black women in America turn to relaxing/straightening is to meet “Eurocentric standards of beauty” which they are told need to be achieved to even be deemed acceptable in any social setting. When you are constantly subjected to criticism, discriminated against (aside from skin color) and denied employment opportunities for wearing hair in its natural state, and then seeing designers take these styles and ‘reinvent’ them is like a slap in the face to what you were once told is no good and unacceptable. With the new Federal Appeals Court (September 15, 2016) ruling that says it’s OK to discriminate/deny hire to those with a traditionally black hairstyle like dreadlocks, the frustration of not being mentioned as inspiration for a hairstyle that is now being banned from us, makes it easier to see the frustration towards Jacobs.
As Essence magazine explains, “Here is the problem: there’s a thin line between creativity and cultural appropriation. Celebrating another culture becomes problematic when the origin itself isn’t properly credited. That line was blatantly crossed when Jacobs’ lead stylist Guido failed to mention one person of color while explaining the inspiration behind the look. Again, not one.” Guido told Harper’s Bazaar that the look was inspired by “certain types of cultures, like rave culture, club culture, acid house, Boy George and Marilyn.” Women and men in the black culture have been wearing dreadlocks for as long as anyone can remember. Like the Rastafarian's or the many black people that choose to wear this look because it makes coily hair easier to manage. When you have white people taking credit/ using those things that black people get criticized for and it suddenly becomes a trend is when this issue becomes a little brighter. Just last year at The Oscars Red Carpet, actress Zendaya received backlash from entertainment reporter Julianna Ransick saying that they [dreads] make her look like she "smells like patchouli oil. Or, weed. So how do dreads suddenly go from being subjected to ridicule to being the next ‘it’ thing? Dear Mr. Jacobs, When you don't have an understanding of a culture and the ridicules that it endures. It's better to first grasp/attempt to understand the issue or take a minute to actually listen. At its best, fashion is able to come alive and convey a message about who you are. And sometimes what it is that you stand for.
Renowned film director Spike Lee, known for his numerous black powered films showed his support for 49ers’s Colin Kaepernick today at Xuly. Bët’s Spring 2017 show by sporting the quarterbacks number 7 jersey along with a matching cap and a pair of track pants all while sitting front row. The outspoken director/activist was not shy at expressing his support of Kaepernick whose number 7 jersey is now a symbol of the national conversation due to him choosing to no longer stand, but to kneel during the national anthem in protest to the racial injustices and thoughtless acts of police brutality against the black community. “I’m not going to show pride for a country that oppresses black people”—Colin Kaepernick While some irate 49ers fans burned the jersey in their own form of protest, it has not hindered the jerseys sales. Despite backlash, it is now the top-selling NFL jersey, according to Forbes. The sales have soared since he began his stance, showing just how much of an impact clothes represent even when faced with adversity. Talk about making a fashion STATEMENT. NYFW is known obviously for its elaborate and eye catching fashion choices, but sometimes the styles can speak a little louder than the eye can see. When fashion is able to evoke emotions it brings a whole new level to style which is something this designer has done at this year’s fashion week. Stylist/activist Shayla Hill has brought black issues to NYFW and we are totally loving her for it! With each of her models color coordinated, each lady sported a different style and flair with an unforgettable message thought to challenge the fashion world for change. With pieces like a sleek sparkly pink jacket with writing on the back that read: “Vogue Doesn’t Care About Ebony Issues” to “Racism Is Out Of Style” declared on a black denim jacket, along with many other quotes and powerful messages that she chose to help her Slay For A Change Movement. According to Yahoo Style associate editor Jihan Forbes, Shayla expressed that she got the concept for these designs after the wrongful death of Sandra Bland. “I knew that I was planning on going to Fashion Week and thought it would be great to make a bold statement that showed my solidarity. I ended up talking myself out of doing it last year. But when Alton Sterling and Philando Castile happened, I decided to move through my fear.” Hill stated. She chose to use NYFW as her platform since this is a world that is so silent about black issues. A place like fashion week with such powerful names, what a better place to make a statement. “I feel like it’s an industry that utilizes our celebrities, our culture, our style but seem to be silent about our issues. My hope for this movement was to keep the conversation going. I wanted to let the world know I’m still thinking about all of them. Sandra Bland and I graduated from the same college. At around the same time. I will never forget her!” stated Hill, according to an article by blogarama.com. To showcase her inner workings at NYFW, Hill and her sister April Joi (who is a director) are producing a documentary entitled Fashion Weak. A film that will bring racism and fashion to the forefront as well as discussing the lack of diversity, cultural appropriation, and the silence surrounding black issues.
Hill expressed that she hopes this film will share her perspective on what it’s like to be a black woman that loves the artistry of fashion and showing her journey through Fashion Week. “I have always said that fashion is my voice. I hope to achieve a message of enlightenment and awareness through my garments. I want to show the world a strong, positive image of four black women who are brave and ready for a change.” Hill stated. By using the world of fashion to help her voice the need for conversion, this Slay for a Change Movement is only the beginning. Now that is what you call a real fashion STATEMENT. Pretty as a PINK-cture! Victoria Secret announced Zuri Tibby as the newest face of their PINK line. She will be featured in editorials and events and looked at as the headline for PINK. Not only is it exciting to get a fresh face for the brand, but one that is making history is definitely worth turning an eye towards. This 21-year-old Florida native is crossing barriers by becoming the first black spokemodel EVER for the brand! Yes...there have been black models that have walked the V.S. runway shows and featured in ad collections, but none have ever been the face of PINK such as Tibby. She is breaking down barriers and creating pathways (or runways) for young girls who aspire to one day be where she is. "It's so important to inspire people. When young girls look at magazines and advertisements, it's important to see girls that look like them. It's very encouraging". Tibby stated, according to Cosmopolitan's Maya Allen. We are thrilled that she knows the platform that she stands on and is using it to advocate change; such as the ever oh so delicate subject of natural hair. Zuri stated how she is pushing to see more natural hair on the runway such as model Maria Borges sported at last year Victoria Secret Show and is hoping to one day too do the same. "Natural hair is something everyone should embrace. It's celebrated more now then it ever has been before." This beauty is defiantly one that is not afraid to represent and is one to be on the look out for on the cover of your next magazine. |
