The Cut
” A team of Harvard scientists led by professor of dermatology Alexa Kimball analyzed data from over 1 million people (provided by 23andMe) and found that Methuselah genes, or “younger genes” — the ones responsible for characteristics like more-effective DNA repair and the skin’s ability to protect against damaging environmental factors (sunlight, etc.) — are found in one-fifth of black Americans, while only one in ten white Americans is a carrier. The presence of these genes allows some people to look ten years younger than their age, according to the paper.”
Do we see the beginnings of the next Mimi Plange or Azede-Jean Pierre?
High School Senior and future Parsons student Kyemah Mcentyre set it off for her prom in a gorgeous deep plunge, full skirted African inspired gown of her own design.
The piece was bomb enough on its own, so she kept her accessories simple, slipping on a gold necklace and a simple gilded headpiece.
Aside from her design talent, Ms. McEntyre is quite brilliant. She explained the inspiration behind her dress, typing, “I’m Kyemah McEntyre, I am 18 years old, and I am undoubtedly of African Descent. As an artist, I have a completely different point of view compared to most individuals. I am extremely analytical and observant. Throughout the world, we have people who do not notice each other’s essence and humanity. We stunt our collective spiritual growth by allowing assumptions and stereotypes to cloud our mind and thus our physical reality. We let these negative ideas get the best of us, and in turn a world of isolation is manifested by our lack of sensitivity and desire to sympathize with each other. This results in a world in which people live within the confines of their own space, isolated from each other and separated from the rest of the world.“
“…Sometimes we get trapped in our own prejudice ways. We don’t notice how the idea of a particular type of person changes the way we live our lives. The most creative people are the ones who step out of their comfort zone and take advantage of the world around them. My abilities as an artist allow me to experience the benefits that versatility fosters.”
“Being exposed to all kinds of people and cultures is the muse for my artwork. I am an aspiring artist who is very passionate about the connection between art and the world. I believe that in order for society to gain a wider horizon, we have to be willing to acknowledge other people from differences, beliefs, morals, and values. I would like to take this moment to say that you have to understand who you are because if you leave that space open, you leave your identity in the hands of society. Don’t let anyone define you. Beautiful things happen when you take pride in yourself. #blackgirlsrock #kyebreaktheinternet”
She’s a Bombshell! How refreshing to see a young woman who takes pride in herself, and shows how to be sexy while leaving a bit to the imagination.
Also, Ms. McEntyre: where might I purchase one of your creations?!? I see her having a very bright future.
What do you think? Would you say yes to this dress?

Her two-tone dress features a sleeveless, form-fitting silhouette.
Her creme and black patent leather sandals showcase snakeskin trim, 4.5″ heels, and buckled ankle-straps. Check out a similar, single-sole iteration here.
Hot!
If you’re up for the splurge, get Sofia’s frock here and an almost identical single-sole version of her sandals here.
The lovely Sarah Jessica Parker made a quick appearance at the Irish Repertory Theatre last night in a floor-length, printed Elie Saab gown that flaunts a serious amount of leg!
The dress was also featured in the Fall 2015 collection. In contrast to the actress’s metallic sandals, the runway model rocked a pair of teal lace-up booties.
Mimi Plange’s Fall collection, entitled Death by Flowers, features feminine petals on brightly colored frocks, offset by fantastically structured solid separates in bold hues.
Floral embellishments are thrust onto the hems of smart coats and frocks.
A vibrant purple pattern also appears on dresses, bustiers, and pants.
Are you more of an understated kind of girl? Plange has plenty of preppy pieces for you! Think pencil skirts with peplum hems, tailored blazes, and crisp button downs.
The prep in me is seriously living for everything. This cinched waist trench coat is on my short lust list for Fall and I definitely need one of Plange’s chic skirts for my wardrobe!
I hope to see stylistas like Solange in the more colorful pieces. This blue jacket is calling her name!
