Découvrez Samantha Black | Sammy B Designs

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

Nous avons découvert Sammy B Design avec la très belle Keri Hilson, chanteuse de R&B aux choix vestimentaires souvent osés, qui arborait une magnifique robe noire en cuir à la fois sexy et chic. C’est Samantha Black, une jeune designer américaine originaire du Bronx, qui est l’esprit créatif derrière Sammy B Design. Ancienne stagiaire de Michael Kors et Alexander McQueen, elle a fait de Sammy B une marque à la fois chic, éclectique, féminine et audacieuse. Des robes de soirées aux maillots de bains, Samantha Black habille une femme jeune, ambitieuse, confiante et habituée...

Shop African at the BHF Shopping Mall

Thursday, November 10, 2011

First came the BHF Magazine about African style, fashion, design and beauty. Created by Geoffrey and Jennifer Olisa its mission is to “shatter the narrow view of Africans that persists today, pinning down the continent of Sub-Saharan Africa as backwards, coarse and uncultured.” They vow to “present an accurate view of what it truly means to be African by bringing to the forefront the modern, forward-thinking Africans.”  Read More

Stevy Mahy – Talent & Style

Thursday, October 27, 2011

We fell in love with her voice first. The sweetness of her tone, the depth of her lyrics. the way she seems to bare her soul and feelings for the world to see. And we identified with her multicultural influences, traveling from the Caribbeans to the US, to Europe and Africa. We heard all of those influences in her music and immediately fell in love with the sound of author composer and interpreter Stevy Mahy.  Read More

The Perfect Jewelry of Happiness

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

There are some colors, textures and sounds that will always remind us of our childhood. That’s exactly what came to my mind when I first saw some of the pieces of Kondwani’s Collection, a brand new jewelry line from the UK.  Kondwani (Happiness in Chichewa – one of the two official languages in Malawi), is actually the name of the owner of this line who, like many of us who often travel to and from Africa, realized that whenever  Read More

Mai 2011 – Vogue Italia Black Issue

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

Pour la troisième année consécutive Vogue Italia propose un édito 100% femmes noires. On y retrouve des beautés telles que Jeneil Williams, Lily Taylor, R’el Dade, and Ariel Meredith dans des looks supers colorés et ultra-vitaminés. Les photos sont, comme d’habitude, sublimes. Vogue Italia continue de faire preuve d’ouverture et d’un sacré sens du marketing puisque nous sommes nombreuses à nous ruer sur ces éditions spéciales dés leur sortie en kiosque. Je ne sais si applaudir cette initiative ou être irritée par son ton…  Read More

Asos goes Afrohip – UPDATED

Friday, April 8, 2011

There’s a long living debate about the lack of Afrohipness among the models and brand representatives in today’s fashion and beauty world. Even after the Vogue Italia Black Issue and a couple of other isolated attemps to give black women shine, it still is a sad reality that authentic black beauty does not get the attention it deserves. In that respect, I have to give ASOS definite props for choosing this absolutely gorgeous black model to represent the Asos Salon collection  Read More
