When you think fashion, or perhaps even just music, David Bowie may not be the first person who comes to mind. However, he should be: the infamous musician (who unfortunately passed away yesterday at the age of 69 after an 18-month struggle with cancer) was highly known in the fashion industry just as much as for his music with his expansive outlook on the world of fashion and constant reinvention of his image. Bowie had just released an album, “Blackstar” on Friday- his birthday.
Somehow, Bowie did something many artists of today only wish they can do: transcend and blur the lines of art, music and fashion. His music was something many could call “forward-looking” and “soulful”, touching on the the issues of self-identity, living as an outsider in a world full of insiders, and self-expression being the ultimate way to feel comfortable in one’s skin. However, it was his ability to show how things such as moving images, the playing of personas or even style and aesthetic could change the mind of an entire society. He challenged the notion that there were ‘rules’ to fashion; as a result, he taught others that they possess their own power to create their own rules.
Amidst the slew of fashion designers and celebrities (among them Madonna and Kanye West) paying tribute to David Bowie while in the midst of New York’s and London’s Fashion Week, the fashion world remarks on his contributions not only to men’s fashion, but to the idea that one could be self-expressive through what they wore and what they sang.
“I honestly don’t think there is one person in this room of any age who wouldn’t say he had touched them in some way,” said the Editor of British GQ, Dylan Jones, “I just feel so terribly sad and yet also awed by the way he made his mark on our industry — even today. Gender fluidity is everywhere on the catwalks now for example, and where does that come from? David Bowie, of course.” (NYTimes)
Before there was a Madonna or Lady Gaga, there was David Bowie. We will forever remember the man who made us proud to be different and adamant about rebelling against the social domineering style regime.Of course, we send our condolences to all that have been affected by his loss, especially his wife of 24 years, Iman, and daughter Alexandria.
“My style is simple, elegant, aesthetic with a twist. About my style, I want it to be simple (effortless), classy, feminine with a bit of sophistication. In addition to that, I’m a little risk taker.”
“Although I’m a fashion lover, I do not spend a lot of money on shopping. I’m a bargain lover and best deals hunter. “
“I do enjoy sales and I always try to find best deals by H&M, Zara, Benetton, Camaieu, Zara, Mango, Naf Naf, … ““To me, it’s not necessary to spend a lot a money on clothes to look stylish. I carry the mini bag everywhere to say “no need to wear brands” to have style. “Effortless, simple and classic! You can check her out on Instagram @celine_mademoiselle.

Kat Graham was another star to choose a plunging neckline for the night’s festivities, clad in a black Yanina Couture gown with white stripes. Ravishing.

Zoe Kravitz left little to the imagination in a sheer embellished gown with a fringe hem: clearly solidifying herself as a “Free the Nipple” ambassador.

Aja Naomi King wore a strapless black and silver gown with a full skirt. Isn’t she gorgeous?

Trai Byers tried on a purple three-piece suit for size.
Empire co-star Jussie Smollett kept it classic in a black tux.
I’ve been waiting for Bellamy Young to sport something on the sultry side: her figure is amazing and she needs to leave the conservative looks to Mellie Grant in my opinion! She did just that in a black cutout slit gown that flaunted her curves. Hot!
Gilded leaf embellishment accented Nicole Scherzinger’s front slit halter gown. Her red lips and sleek locks complemented this look perfectly.

All of us want a foundation that provides flawless coverage and gives the appearance of beautiful skin, but we don’t want to all spend an arm and a leg achieving it. Well, you don’t have to with our Bomb Product for today, the Covergirl Queen Collection All Day 3 in 1 Foundation (that’s a mouthful!).
As a brown woman with definite red undertones in my skin, I wanted to find a foundation that could offer versatility for my skin, as well as provide a variety of shades for my skin when it’s lighter in the winter, and darker in the summer. When I stumbled onto the Queen foundation collection, I never turned back. It is by far one of the best options for women of color, because their shade range is fantastic!
Whether you’re the lightest of the light or darkest of the dark, you’re very likely to find your shade in their range. The best part? The foundation is drugstore and less than $12 !! If you like a full-face beat every time you wear makeup, you can definitely use this for full coverage, however, you can also dilute it with your favorite moisturizer for a more sheer, everyday look. The possibilities are endless, and this product is so bomb.
What do you guys think of the Queen Collection Foundation shades? Any tried and true stories?
