The Green Room: ASOS Africa Collection

posted by:

In an effort to “promote people and the planet” UK based clothing brand ASOS has launched the Green Room which will feature various collections using organic materials inspired by various cultures of the world. One of the first collections from the Green Room is The Africa Collection.

ASOS released this statement “On our continuing quest to find new inspiration for ASOS.com collections, we recently spent time in Africa working with artisans and small producer groups. The vibrancy of the continent inspired us to create ‘ASOS Africa’ with the aim of supporting trade in Africa.”

The looks in this collection are made from original African print fabrics and they are also crafted using special design techniques within the African community. I appreciate ASOS.com in diversifying their collections and educating their consumers on various cultures around the world.

Tribal inspired looks are great for the spring. Here are a few of the looks from the ASOS Africa Collection:

ASOS Africa Woven Mix T-Shirt Dress $95

ASOS Africa Printed Playsuit $85

ASOS Africa  Printed Tie Waist Shorts $70

ASOS Africa Printed Jumpsuit $130

Style Files: Suit Me Softly

posted by:

I know you are probably like, what I mean by “suit me softly” well I didn’t come up with the phrase (you’ll find out later in the post). There is a trend called “soft suiting” where you would generally take pieces that would normally be part of a suit or have suit like qualities and create a look. So I can take a blazer, pair of cuffed city shorts, and a tank  or maybe a loose fitting t-shirt, vest, and shorts or a skirt and that would make a “soft suit.”

Here are some looks

  1. Drawstring waist cuffed city short $25
  2. Linen Stretch Shorts $22
  3. Kulotte Short $14
  4. Linen Roll-Up Blazer $32
  5. Open Front Menswear Vest $26
  6. Striped Linen Blazer $32

Aren’t the prices fantastic! Well that’s because these items come from Charlotte Russe. Extremely affordable and fashionable. You can’t go wrong. You don’t have to be rich to be fashionable!

I purchased the vest and the kulotte shorts in black.

Korto Momolu of Project Runway

posted by:

Korto from Project Runway is clearly showing that she should have taken the title. I think she was underestimated as a designer and her show at NYFW proves this to be true. Her line is vibrant, innovative, and functional. REAL WOMEN can be seen in her pieces. Some designers create looks that people try wear as RTW and they just end up looking a mess. Korto, on the other hand, has an eye for sophistication and elegance. You will not look ordinary in her pieces and that is what’s needed in fashion today.

Team Sanchez New York

 One of my former students (Kash) is a part of this team and you all know that I support all up and coming designers especially young black males who are doing something positive. Kash sent me a preview of TSNY’s Spring 2010 collection and I must say that I am impressed!! They have graphic t-shirts, varsity jackets, and sweat shirts! If you are into premium street wear you definitely want to look out for Team Sanchez New York. Here is a preview of what they have in store for Spring 2010.

Ok so I already put in my order for the red “Spread Love It’s The Brooklyn Way“ t-shirt! The varsity jackets are sick too and this is just the preview.

Last week, Amerie was our Fashionista of the week and she was rocking some FLY boots. I did a little research and she was wearing the Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte Thigh High Bondage Boot from the Fall 09 collection.

Kirkwood describes these boots as a “straight jacket for legs.” Interesting…

t. taylorThat is the slogan for Teyanna Taylor’s new line of lip gloss called “Dope Lips

Like most females, I LOVE LIP GLOSS! So this is pretty cool to me. It looks more mature than Lil’ Mama’s lip gloss line. I wonder how she feels about this?
