    Model Spotlight: Kelly Moreira

    by Claire

    There’s a new black model in town!

    Her name’s Kelly Moreira, she’s 18-years-old, and she’s fabulous:

    The French native caught her big break on Myspace, where she submitted her profile for the 2009 Elite Model Look France contest. She didn’t end up winning, but she created so much buzz, Ford models decided to scoop her up!

    Now you can see her in Jean Paul Gaultier and Uniqlo campaigns, on the runways of Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent, and Kenzo, and on an 8 page spread in Teen Vogue’s September issue.

    She’s also been shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindooh Matadin for Paris Vogue and Mikael Jansson for Japanese Vogue.
    She better work!
    I’ll keep my eyes peeled for this beauty on the upcoming Spring 2011 runways.

    She’s one to watch!

    Ginger + Liz Colour Collection

    by Danielle

    Bombshells, meet the Ginger + Liz Colour Collection. The organic and vegan-friendly line was started by two gorgeous and fashionably smart brown girls, model/author S. Liz Pickett and entrepreneur H. Ginger Johnson.

    Their line of deliciously chic polishes are loved by celebrity manicurists Kimmie Kyees and Lisa Logan as well as celebs and taste makers such as Mary J. Blige, Estelle, Rihanna, Queen Latifah, Beyoncé, June Ambrose, and Rachel Zoe. The glossy polishes have also been featured in editorials for magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Jones, People, and Teen Vogue.

    According to their website, “Ginger + Liz provide small ticket luxury cosmetic products to the increasingly discerning beauty buffs that are predominately influenced by fashion, arts, travel, and entertainment. The G+L patron spans the trends and ages. She represents the Classic and Casual Chic, the Rock Glam and Bohemian, the Girly and the Pretty Prepster“.

    “Our customers are known to masterfully balance their careers and social lives. She is a socialite in her own right. She is witty, smart, outspoken, driven, and yes, fashion forward. Most importantly, she embodies the G+L philosophy of feeling good as well as looking good. Her nail lacquer often represents her lifestyle and personality and she is pleased to let her nails do the talking for her. She is the master of her domain! From chic to street, prep school to public school, office to party…Ginger + Liz has your nails covered!”

    Yours truly got her ashy little hands on Hold the Drama (a creamy midnight navy that shines a bit on the purple side) and Tough Luxe (a deep army green with gold sheen). They will be part of my fall nail polish army.

    For the full Ginger + Liz collection and to purchase, go here.

    So who here is trying or has tried this line? Dish in the comments :)

    Fashion Quickie : Designer and Stylist Juan Vargas

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!

    Today I wanted to quickly introduce you to designer and stylist, Juan Vargas:


    The 24-year-old Brooklyn native (center) is the designer for Vanessa and Angela Simmons‘ Pastry line as well as for his own eponymous line.

    He also styles for W Korea, Vogue Espana and Vanidads.
    How did he get such a cool job? He says, “I went to the High School of Fashion Industries and then went on to the Fashion Institute of Technology. Vanessa and Angela are friends and boos from way back! We met in high school when I asked Angela to model in one of my fashion shows.”
    “I began designing things for her, and I did Vanessa and Angela’s hair and makeup for the MTV Awards. After that our bond grew.”
    You can now see both Vanessa and Angela wearing Juan Vargas custom creations:



    With his fashionable eye I had to ask him about his summer must haves. He said, “For me, I love the Givenchy nightingale bag, brown boots from All Saints, a khaki blazer, and Christian Louboutin studded sneakers in black.”

    More Christian Louboutin…
    ShopStyle

    For the ladies, he recommends, “One pair of Christian Louboutins, a great, flattering party dress, chic sandals, a great bag by YSL, Alexander Wang, or another big designer, and a sexy scent like Chanel.”

    More Christian Louboutin…
    ShopStyle

    Great picks!
    See more Juan Vargas fabulousness on his website, www.juanvargasny.com.

    He’s one to watch!

    Smootches!

    Cool Online Find : Designs by Fhonia Ellis

    by Claire

    Hey Guys!
    A fashion bomb reader recently put me onto stylist and designer Fhonia Ellis, a Kentucky born creative who fashions cute, sexy cocktails and separates for the urban set:

    Fhonia, who launched her line ‘Rebirth’ in 2007, has  already found fans in Trina and Diamond, who love her saucy embellished body suits and her inventive use of fabric:
    Fhonia’s quite a Bombshell herself!

    Check out a few of her personal pictures:

    FIERCE!

    Learn more about Fhonia and see her designs at www.FhoniaEllis.com.

    You Should Know : Designer Alexandre Vauthier

    by Claire

    Designer Alexandre Vauthier is giving new heights to shoulders thanks to inventive silhouettes and a ‘more is more’ attitude:

    The Paris based couturier and former head designer for Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture has already found fans in Rihanna and Monica, who flock to his awe inspiring and conversation starting pieces. He unveiled his first collection in January 2009, and has since had two other couture shows:


    His signature style plays with extremes, marrying bold shoulders with even bolder plunging necklines:

    His summer 2010 Couture collection featured lots of primary colors like eye catching red, green, and blue.

    He reminds me of a new age Balmain. I love it!

    The young talent was up for a prestigious ANDAM award to establish his own couture house in Paris. Though he didn’t take home the final prize, I still think he has tremendous potential.

    See more of his designs here. He’s one to watch.

    What do you think?
