No excess words necessary. A bad face shot is not in this guy's repertoire.

MARCUS...LET ME PAINT A PICTURE FOR YOU, BABY!

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes....

What goes around comes back around....

With the heightened awareness of racial equality in society & the media, the all Black Vogue issues, and with pivotal times in which we live as we're about to embark on something so earth-shattering that the history pages are primed and waiting with baited pen for the next move...it's no huge stretch of the imagination that when Julie approached me with this proposal....I jumped all over the prospect of featuring our Black boys in one major fashion editorial....all blonde no less. Heck, I'd have jumped for this without all the precluding factors....especially with the fact that hands down, Red has the best collection of working Black boys....hands down. As for the outcome.....well, have a look and let me know what you think. :)

FLY ROCKET FLY....UP UP TO THE SKY!!!

Fly...as in "to soar with wings like eagles"...or "FLY"....as in dope, sick, simply the illest and best....can both be used to describe the swagger & style of Marcus Lloyd & hot newcomer....Tanz. There's much to be said about having long term goals and high set aspirations. Don't get whiplash.

BUT WE SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THIS...RITE???

With the current state of affairs in fashion...it seems we still need some reminding. Kudos to Bleu Magazine for continuing the growning awareness of "equality" in fashion....and bringing focus to our models of color....not allowing them to fall into extinction. I must say there was some improvement in the diversity on the runways this past season....but now we need to see them in more blue chip campaigns as well...ya heard!

PRADA IN DA HOOD?

Flaunt magazine depicts Prada's new line in a new light. Did you think it was just for skinny "White" boys? Think again. We're about to embark on a "new" era....minus the racial divide. It's about time!!!

VINTAGE SEAN JOHN......A RETROSPECTIVE

Sean John's triumphant and emphatic return to the runways last season was captured in a vintage editorial for Vibe Magazine....recapturing some of the classic designs of the 50's & 60's. Here are some of the published pics and outtakes from the depiction.
