Brandon Maxwell Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign Starring Joan, Maria and Lameka
In fashion visuals are everything. For his latest campaign Maxwell utlizes both videos and photography to highlight his designs. Regarding details as well as the inspiration behind the campaign, Brandon Maxwell says,
“Introducing the first in a series of six videos for our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign, starring Joan Smalls. I’ve never set out to do a traditional campaign. In many ways these projects begin less as a vehicle to sell the clothing and more as a therapeutic exercise. To help me gain a deeper understanding of the industry within I work. Maintain some sense of self and to stay steady on the path in search for something I know to be true.
Each season’s campaigns are meant to show my world through my eyes. In this instance it’s the castings, the fittings, process, the way I see it. A world where the women are cast as much for their brains, personality, and dedication as they are for their beauty. Our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign features six incredible women that I have had the pleasure to get to know and work with on many projects over the years.
These are the women that bring our clothes to life. I think it’s important to hear their stories. To understand that they are more than just what they seem on the runway, and in a way, so are the clothes. They are garments that are meant to be lived in, and that have a purpose.
In all the clothes there is a space left for the woman. The power, the confidence, the unwavering sense of self. In their company, I am somehow able to find strength within myself at the time that I need it the most.”

Beauty is not one sided or one shade. That is the overall theme that the magazine hopes to impress upon its readership. The more we come to appreciate each other the more united we will be.
Upon seeing this editorial actress Tracee Ellis Ross expressed that there was just so much beauty on the cover. Model Grace Mahary who stars in the issue’s cover story reacted to Tracee’s sentiments saying,
“Thank you Tracee Ellis Ross! I look up to you for so many reasons and here you go sealing exactly why: We are STRONGER together!”
It is definitely nice to see the conversation of diversity still being welcome to the table of beauty discussion.

Designer: Christopher Bailey
Models Who Walked the Show: Ysaunny Brito, Lameka Fox, Lineisy Montero, Aamito Lagum, Binx Walton and Imaan Hammam
On The Runway: If it’s not “Baroque Don’t Fix It”. Christopher Bailey delivered again this year for ss16. He doesn’t miss a beat. It’s an art how he is able to have a young “it” girl vibe to his collection yet the girls still look posh and refined. The runway was choke full of lace, sheer garments, plenty of intricate cut-out appliques and of course the Burberry trench which is the only type of trench you should ever have in your closet.
