Solange Knowles Attends Pride Week 2015

Arianne Suggs June 26, 2015June 26, 2015Leave a Comment

Singer and DJ Solange Knowles was spotted looking fabulous while walking the streets of SOHO. Solange was in town in order to be in attendance for the NYC Pride and Kiehl’s Since 1851 Celebrate Pride Week 2015 event held in New York City. So then, what was Knowles wearing while taking part in celebrations on June 25th?

In world that believes that as time passes various fashion can fall into the “Oh that was so last season” category. Obviously, Solange did not receive that memo and neither does she care which is why she is a fashion risk-taker! Knowles was looking mellow yellow in an ensemble from the Harbison Fall 2013 collection. A bold move but shows that good fashion can never truly go out of style.

Yellow is a very bold tint but it is a shade that conveys happiness, joy and fun. Knowles has never been afraid to wear this boisterous shade and has rocked on numerous occasions. Just see for yourself and get inspired to give yellow a try!

Point of View: Gold Chained Heels

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 26, 2015June 26, 2015Leave a Comment

I’m really excited about P.O.V. aka Point of View, one of our new video series on the 1966 Magazine Youtube channel! Over the years, I have found myself becoming more and more addicted to heels. I love when you go out and people instantly notice and compliment on the pair of choice for the night. Shoes are all the way down at the bottom of an ensemble so for someone to notice the shoes most truly be making a statement.

With that being said, many will ask me what shoes I’m wearing or even say they are going to go cop themselves a pair. So for all of you who love a good heel as much as you do I hope you enjoy seeing my personal collection. Here is the first video showcasing my gold chain heels, probably one of the heels I wear the most. I love them because you can pair them with jeans, jumpsuits, dresses, the works and everything seems to instantly go up a few style notches. Whether you are aiming for classy or edgy these heels just seem to deliver.

Hope you like the video and don’t forget to like and subscribe! 🙂

Alicia SuggsUpdated on June 25, 2015June 25, 2015Leave a Comment

Haider Ackermann Spring 2016 Menswear Collection. The men in this collection looked amazing in the different hues of blue. Haider decided to focus on trousers with a slight drop crotch, vest and draped outerwear cinched in at the waist. Usually that look could come off slightly feminine however he was still able to keep the masculinity of the mans true form. Some models that walked the show were South Sudan model Nykhor, Victor Ndigwe, Jackson Garbled, Yassine Rahal and Fernando Cabral.

Summer 2015 Fashion: The Oversized Fit

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022June 25, 2015Leave a Comment

Chanrnah Ellesse, LCM LFW FW!5, London Street Style Fashion.

No we are not talking about that saggy pants look from the gangsta music videos of old. Think wide leg pants and shirts a few sizes too big and then you are more in the ball park. Relaxed comfort is what most women aim for during this season and The Oversized Fit look can help get you there.

The London fashion scene has always been known for their forward thinking and modern take on couture. We love this look of a London local, Chanrnah Ellesse, showcasing how to pull off fashions that are not so well fitting. To really make this look work you have to remind onlookers that there is in fact a body in all of those clothes. Help yourself not get lost by showing a little skin and breaking up the color palette. Do not wear the same color from head to toe or you can risk resembling a giant skittle roaming the streets.

Moreover, have some fun with accessories to help add some pizzazz and panache. Incorporate a fun pair of shoes or a cool handbag or hair accessory to take things up a notch. The look is already exaggerated so there’s no need to go completely bananas but because it is not the norm you can add some amusing details.

Streetstyle: Joan Smalls in NYC

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022June 25, 2015Leave a Comment

Ever wonder how super-models choose to walk the streets fashion wise? Well, we spotted Joan Smalls in New York City posing it out during a quick photo shoot in Soho. The look was simple but very voguish thanks to sneakers, distressed denim and a white slightly tucked tee. Accessories were kept to a minimum with a chic watch and red fringe handbag.

Beauty Notes: Who says that you can’t or shouldn’t wear a dark lip during summer? Skip the makeup rules of lighter colors only during warmer months and wear a rebellious darker shade. Especially if you are wearing an edgy look like Joan the dark tint will add even more fierceness.

Joan’s look is a nice throwback to 90’s fashion that emerged from the grunge movement. So put on a little Nirvana (google if you must) and you will be sure to gain all the inspiration that you need!

Zoe Kravitz Channels Her Mother Lisa Bonet

Arianne Suggs June 23, 2015June 23, 2015Leave a Comment

Zoe has been keeping busy with 3 new films, touring with her band and oh yeah, posing it out in major magazines! For her latest spread found in the June 2015 edition of GQ Zoe looks like a spitting image of her famous mother Lisa Bonet. Nevertheless, it is not her appearance that she wants the focus to be on, its more of her artistry and the stark change that has occurred in Hollywood. She says,

“It’s interesting that we’ve come to a place where people are expected to just do one thing… You used to have to be a triple threat to make it in Hollywood. Think about Gene Kelly and everyone. You used to have to sing, you used to have to dance. You were an entertainer.”

We have to agree with Zoe’s thoughts on Tinseltown, it does seem like the idea of being a triple threat died off many decades ago. Kravitz is taking everything in stride and just enjoying life as well as her latest projects. Check her out on Instagram to see more her cool style as well as her editorial spread found in this post.

Looks like Zoe Kravitz is definitely ready for summer!
