Monthly Archives: December 2009

Jourdan Dunn, Sessilee Lopez, Arlenis Sosa, and Chanel Iman (in i-D)

This to me was an excellent 2009 cover that reveals Edward Enninful’s, the Fashion Director, reaching to the depths of his creative mastermind. The four girls look great drenched in colors from the 90’s and shot by the talented photographer Emma Summerton. These ladies were truly captured in their best for the September 2009 cover. This is to those who couldn’t get their hands on this magazine.

Joana Smalls For Ports 1961

This newcomer is sweeping the scene as Ports 1961 model. She is Puerto Riccan  born and represented by the Elite Model Agency in New York.  Did I mention she makes a cameo in  Ricky Martin’s video! The video is called “It’s Alright”. She truly has a unique and versatile look to her. She’s a newbie on the scene but has already shashayed down the runway for big names like Benjamin Cho and James Coviello. This is only the beginning of her career. Kudos to Elite Model Management for being a vanguard for reproducing diversity in the modelling arena.

GetWear Custom Jeans

Ever longed to create  your own “custom jeans”? The ones that hug you right, walk you right, kneel with you, and sit with you? This is the distinct concept of “customized jeans”.  Getwear presents all these options of high-end “made to measure jeans”.  Wear the right pair.

Michelle Obama Watch

I am going to be intergrating Michelle O into the site since she is the black stylista emerging with her own signature look. She truly is fabulous and enameled with grace.

First lady Michelle Obama hosts an event in the East Room of the White House in Washington.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attend the Evening Parade at the Washington Marine Barracks.

President Barack Obama, his eldest daughter Malia and youngest Sasha, and first lady Michelle arrive at Pratica di Mare's military airport, near Rome. Total swagg.

US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama disembark the board the Air Force One at the Gardermoen Airport in Oslo.

Kudos to Essence for providing great moments.
