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.”

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

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!

Marc Jacobs Fall 2019 Cotton-Blend Ball Gown on Tracee Ellis Ross-Ask and Tell!

Arianne June 16, 2020June 16, 2020

The Item: Black-ish superstar and Pattern CEO, Tracee Ellis Ross cause a high fashion stir in the Marc Jacobs Fall 2019 Cotton-Blend Ball Gown. Tracee was spotted in the bold yellow luxury look in a promo photo for her hair brand company that was posted to social media platform, Instagram.

You Asked: I just love me some Tracee! She has really made her own path outside of her mother and she just does her? Have you guys have any articles on her hair products? I haven’t tried any but would like to get some additional information on them. Also that yellow dress she posted is beautiful! You already know I want details lol.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2019 Cotton-Blend Ball Gown on Tracee Ellis Ross-Ask and Tell

The Verdict: Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us here at 1966! We too are major Tracee fans and are always excited to see what she is up to! Yes, we do have features on Tracee’s haircare brand; you can find them under our HAIR tab. Here’s a good one to get you started.

Nevertheless, let’s talk some fashion! That yellow dress that you love is by the one and only, Marc Jacobs (Yay! Lol). It is actually a design from his Fall 2019 collection; however, as one can see, when something is designed in a timeless way; then it can look fabulous regardless of the season it originally came out.

As for the price of this gown, it is quite the splurge. One closed trunk show originally sold this for $11,000. That’s college tuition. That’s a house down payment. So as a wise woman once said about money, “I’m either eating it, wearing it or it’s hanging in my closet.”

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

MAC Cosmetics x Teyana Taylor -NEW Collaboration First LOOK!

ArianneUpdated on June 16, 2020June 15, 2020

Talking about making your dreams come true! Since she was a teen, Teyana has been a bonafide MAC LOVER; and grew up watching likes of Mary J. Blige become MAC collaborators. Now the sultry singer is watching from the sidelines no more. The MAC Cosmetics x Teyana Taylor collection is literally days away from being in all of our makeup bags!!

MAC Cosmetics x Teyana Taylor -NEW Collaboration First LOOK

With the iconic vibe of Grace Jones; MAC and Teyana proudly revealed visuals to announce their spell-binding collaboration. Both parties are thrilled to be working together and bringing a fresh, artful flair as well as perspective to the beauty industry. In regards to the collab they collectively reveal,

“Over a year in the making, we are proud to finally announce our collaboration with the infinitely talented Teyana Taylor. The epitome of our core values and a self-proclaimed MAC girl since the age of 15. Teyana boldly embraces artistry, unapologetically embodies originality and commits herself to self-expression without boundaries.

‘I’m very excited to be partnering with a company like MAC who I’ve watched collaborate with strong women of color over the years. I’ve been a fan of MAC ever since I was 15 years old; and started experimenting with makeup. It was the first bran that made me like makeup.

I’m so grateful and excited to be sharing this beautiful collection I created with the MAC team. But also [I’m] hoping to inspire other young women that anything is possible,’ she says. In celebration of decades worth of friendship and support for this unstoppable force; we now introduce MAC Teyana Taylor!”

We… can’t… WAIT! As of right now, no official date is set in stone for this release. However, it is confirmed that products will be releasing during the month of July. PLUS, like the dazzling red lipstick that Teyana is wearing in her adverts? That gorgeous iconic shade will be apart of the official lineup!

Yes, we know, we know. You may be rolling your eyes over yet another “Ruby Woo.” Nonetheless, being the creative she is, we are sure that Teyana will be putting a gorgeous spin on traditional Mac classics with her own style. So just give the woman a chance (Lol).

Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One!

ArianneUpdated on June 12, 2020June 11, 2020

Not sure if it was the steely black sunglasses; or the shiny noire ensembles in general. However, Chloe x Halle’s Forgive Me music video had us feeling some type of way! Like the energy and vibe of it is just ELECTRIC. The dark, raw edginess of their visuals turned the wheels upstairs and reminded us that Matrix 4 is on the way (yay lol); and it got us thinking. Halle for the win?

Of course, we are sure that the next installment of the Matrix is going to pull out all the stops. BUT… it is kinda missing a new generation bridge. Their are The cast thus far has a lot of returning faces ( Thank major G). Since part of the nostalgia is being reacquainted with familiar characters as well as situations.

At the moment, Keanu Reeves will return as the beloved Neo; while actresses Carrie-Anne Moss and Jada Pinkett Smith will reprise their roles as Trinity and Nobe. Adding to their flair… Priyanka Chopra, Jessica Henwick, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Neil Patrick Harris will also all star in the film.

Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One

Now we know die hard fans of the series will be hitting the theaters HARD to view this film regardless of who’s in it. Nevertheless, we can not help but think what an addition Halle would make to this movie. Like really hear us out on this one.

She’s got the vibe of a Halle Berry with the angelic, good girl wink of a Dorothy Dandridge going for her. Plus, the girls has the goods and experience to pull it off. She’s already worked in the entertainment industry for a number of years; proving that her work ethic is perfect for a big budget film. But her resume helps too!

She’s been apart of a super duo in the realm of music. PLUS she stars as a regular on a hit TV show (Grown-ish). And even the mouse approves! Halle scored big snatching up the role of Ariel in the upcoming live action of The Little Mermaid.

The girl is qualified and deserves more top roles. Additionally, she would bring a whole new audience to the franchise. Thus, blending the old school with the new school. A total win-win.

What’s also winning is the fact that the fourth Matrix which is set to release May 21, 2021; will still have the Wachowski touch. Lana Wachowski, who is one of the two Wachowskis who directed the previous three films; is set to co-write and direct the next installment.
