It’s so cold here in D.C., *sigh* so let’s go somewhere a little warmer! Let’s check out Camille from Atlanta:
“I’m a fashion and conscious blogger at Muse is a Verb.” “I’d describe my style as versatile, ranging anywhere from boho to classic, somewhere between tomboy and girly girl.” “A naturally laid back chick, I’m most comfortable in a pair of jeans though. “ “Regardless of what I wear, I tend to keep it simple, with an emphasis on quality, yet affordable pieces, and will be launching an online boutique this Spring with that in mind.” “Thanks so much for the opportunity to be featured.”

One thing we can not deny is that Marjorie Harvey serves looks time after time.
Not only is she a philanthropist and part of the dynamic duo behind her and husband Steve Harvey‘s Foundation, but Mrs. Harvey knows a thing or two about fashion and designers; just take a look at any Fashion Week, and she’s bound to be sitting front and center, laced and dipped in head-to-toe Lanvin, Chanel, Elie Saab, or Dior.
To say she is only Steve Harvey’s first lady would be an understatement; she also serves the role of mother (with seven children!) and community activist as well.
Marjorie’s style has evolved significantly over the years, from simple cocktail dresses and heels to decadent furs, ball gowns, and straight-from-the runway ‘fits.
Even though she loves playing dress up, she dedicates much of her time to supporting the charitable initiatives of her husband Steve Harvey and the Steve Harvey Foundation, which include the annual Steve Harvey Mentoring Weekend for Young Men, Disney’s Dreamers Academy and the Ford Hoodie Awards.
This woman is truly someone who inspires the next generation to be fabulous, fierce, and have a passion for fashion! As her charities have continued to grow, so has her style, as it has evolved over the years. Click the above gallery, and let’s take a look back over the years and check out Marjorie Harvey’s style evolution!
Her black wool jumpsuit features a thin notch lapel with a satin collar, a single welt pocket at the front, sheer lace panels at the sleeve and bodice, tapered legs with creases at the front, and a concealed zip placket.
Many of us remember the outrage that sparked over Valentino’s decision of styling a largely white cast of models in cornrows. First, it was the 2015 lookbook and accompanying campaign that raised eyebrows; then, it was the “Africa” themed spring 2016 show where less than 10 black models walked the runway. Ideas and comments of cultural appropriation sparked fire on the Internet, where even celebrities cited their frustration with the brand’s decision to dismiss people’s frustration and continue to do what they wanted.
Well, once again Valentino has provided a collection and accompanying beauty looks of white models styled in non-European clothing and cultural looks, ironically shot in a Maasai village in Kenya’s National park. Guido Palau, the lead hairstylist for the spring 2016 campaign, explained that “the clothes have some tribal inspiration, so the hair has that feeling as well…It’s a bit influenced by the ’60s and ’70s when girls used to travel and they would bring back inspiration from other places and cultures, which is kind of an eclectic way of styling yourself.” (Vogue)
However, we’ve seen time and time again this idea of cultural appropriation of one culture versus another, or how one culture is glorified while another is criticized. Many publications have remarked on how Valentino is insensitive to exactly what it means to culturally appropriate, but it seems the ‘aesthetic’ of the brand is not changing anytime soon. How is it that fashion brands such as Valentino refuse to employ African or African-American models for runway, yet display them as a backdrop in the Spring 2016 campaign?
Discussions have been circulating between people who think these ads are awful and others who believe that powerful fashion brands can do whatever they want and that there is nothing wrong with one culture embodying another.
What do you think of the ads and where do you fall in the discussion?
Models.com taps Angolan model Maria Borges and South Sudanese model Ajak Deng to star in photoshoot featuring rising and established designers and brands that all have ties back to Africa, entitled Africa Rising. After traveling to Lagos Fashion Week last year, Models.com was inspired by the strong variety of talent they saw and wanted to showcase that talent in this shoot. Borges and Deng are the perfect choice to stand out among the vivid colors and unique fabrics of designers like Brother Vellies and Nomad Vintage NYC. Photographer Ed Singleton and stylist Solange Franklin created a striking shoot that allows the beauty of the clothes and the models to shine.

This picture has popped up of the friends. While many surmise they were kissing, it looks like they were about to hug, and the photog caught them midway.
