Ruth Akele for Vogue Arabia June 2020 Issue -Beautiful Black Women

Ruth Akele for Vogue Arabia June 2020

 

The editorial you are about to witness is all about BUSINESS! Women are starting companies, being BOSSES and they need the clothes to match their entrepreneurial essence. One magazine piece that we thought recently captured and captivated this success driven aspect of fashion well; is the Ruth Akele for Vogue Arabia June 2020 edition!

 

 

Power suits, blouses, bold tones and ….shorts?? Yep… all find their way into this couture mix of excellence. Vogue Arabia had a short blurb on their issue which gives a new spin on office style. Vogue says,

“Let our June 2020 issue inspire you to step into a brave new world of suiting by experimenting with avant-garde cutting techniques in a high octane color palette. To see more looks, make sure to pick up your copy of our latest edition.”

As the mag mentions, one thing that we love is the fresh infusion of color. That is not normally something one would probably think of for office attire. Usually, the typical uniform includes neutral colors with an emphasis on blue, gray, black or a beige.

 

 

This editorial invites fashion lovers to expand their horizons a bit (our favorite look is the green Balenciaga suit). To be a little more fearless with their wardrobe and really experiment. Fashion is all about self expression and its a real shame that in the work force we have had to put limits and restraints on personal style. Kudos to Vogue and the stunning Ruth Akele on these visuals!

The Verdict: Thanks for reaching out and we must agree; Rihanna’s luxury label is very exciting news! Her pieces are absolutely divine, however, in the photo you DM’ed us it should be noted that Rih is not wearing Fenty.

We love Rihanna in whatever she wears because she always rocks it like no other! Case in point, this pink ensemble by Balenciaga. She wears both the Silk Satin Oversized shirt as well as skirt.

Ask and Tell: The Balenciaga Pink Outerspace Puffer Jacket As Seen on SZA

Balenciaga Pink Outerspace Puffer Jacket

The Item: The Balenciaga Pink Outerspace Puffer Jacket As Seen on SZA. The stylish as well as sultry singer was spotted by photographers in her eye-popping designer jacket as she boarded a luxurious private jet.

You Asked: Can’t believe I’m saying this but I really like the puffy look lol. Always thought it was beyond ugly, but somehow my girl SZA made it look cool. She’s becoming like Rihanna, can make anything look worth wearing. I think SZA’s jacket it’s Balenciaga? Can you confirm that for me?

Ask and Tell: The Balenciaga Pink Outerspace Puffer Jacket As Seen on SZA

The Verdict: We have to agree SZA certainly made a bold and chic fashion statement! Furthermore, you are correct, her effortlessly cool style is partly by Balenciaga. SZA wears the label’s Balenciaga Pink Outerspace Puffer Jacket.

This particular jacket does come in other hues such as black and a very calming light blue. However, we loved that SZA chose to go with the rose pink because the tone really added a fun, youthful flair to her laid back, urban ensemble. Nevertheless, do you want to add this vibrant jacket to your wardrobe? It currently retails for $2,161. We have found it online for sale on SSENSE.com.

Furthermore, just in case you were curious of the other fashionable items SZA was rocking. She completed her outfit with a Gucci designer handbag as well as a Wu Wear beanie to help take the winter chill off.

Ask and Tell: Rihanna Wearing Balenciaga Campaign Raincoat

Balenciaga Campaign Raincoat

The Item: Rihanna Wearing Balenciaga Campaign Raincoat. The Barbadian singer was spotted in the blue Balenciaga coat while heading to and at the JFK airport on September 17.

You Asked: Rihanna is looking so good! I have loved all her looks this week however I love her causal looks the best. She is the kind of girl that can do both, but I prefer her laidback. Her airport look is so cool! Who’s her coat by and what are the other details of her outfit?

Ask and Tell: Rihanna Wearing Balenciaga Campaign Raincoat

The Verdict: Rihanna truly is a jack of all trades when it comes to personal flair and style. Her recent JFK airport ensemble included a Bape Ape Head Cap which retails for $90 as well as a Dior Oblique Canvas Bag. Now as for the coat you were asking about it is a raincoat by Balenciaga. It retails for splurge-worthy $2,100!

Victoria’s Secret Model Jasmine Tookes for ELLE January 2017

the supermodel is already starting the new year with a bang. We're totally getting life over Victoria's Secret Model Jasmine Tookes for ELLE January 2017

2016 has definitely been a whirlwind for the always gorgeous Jasmine Tookes. From editorial spreads, walking in runway shows for brands such as DKNY and being apart of the sexist night of television. Oh yeah, and having the honor of sporting the VS fantasy bra down the catwalk during said broadcast. Now the supermodel is already starting the new year with a bang. We’re totally getting life over Victoria’s Secret Model Jasmine Tookes for ELLE January 2017.

Victoria’s Secret Model Jasmine Tookes for ELLE January 2017

Jasmine Tookes will be featured in the ELLE USA January 2017 edition. Back in the day fashion lovers would say that a model should be able to sport a potato sack and still look fabulous. Well, Jasmine is rocking just a bag so in our book that is pretty darn close to that level of fab perfection.

In the 28 Stories feature Tookes literally takes the expression “go big or go home” to new heights. Think glowing, luminous skin accompanied by humongous accessories. Big hair, big earrings and one big ole handbag. Genius! Her supersize linked earrings are by designer, Sonia Boyajian. Also, that fabulous orange bag which is the new black is from high-end brand, Balenciaga.

The entire ELLE January 2017 issue was shot by Terry Tsiolis. In addition to makeup by Frankie Boyd, styling by Samira Nasr and Paul Cavaco with hair by Romina Manenti. Furthermore, the 28 Stories editorial also includes several other amazing shots with Selah Marley, model Alecia Morais as well as the talented Coleman Collective. For your viewing pleasure we have included some of the shots below. Enjoy!
