haitian-italian fashion designer stella jean (pronounced john) is making me re-think my basic black monochromatic world. there is nary a print in my wardrobe, but the chic ms. jean gives me cause for reconsideration.
i first noticed her two years ago, but this spring i may finally take the plunge. a colorful cultural-inspired print skirt teamed with a–carolina herrara inspired–white shirt. basta!
chic then, now, and forever.
i can’t wait to see what’s next in your arsenal.
i had the pleasure of meeting david adjaye a couple years ago. i am in awe of his talent. this amazing tanzanian architect has designed what will be the last of the smithsonian museums on the mall in washington dc. fittingly, it is the national museum of african american history and culture due to be completed and dedicated before president obama leaves office.
julian schnabel and posse notwithstanding…i think i may have to adopt a pair of pjs and wear ’em out of doors. i’ll make my acquisition now…which’ll give me enough time to muster the courage to debut ’em in the spring. of course i’ll take my cues instead from shala’s playbook. we all know ms.monroque is chic personified….
ibeyi (ee-bey-ee) are twins lisa-kainde and naomi diaz. these ladies hail from paris and havana. their sound is like nothing else. haunting, hypnotic, avant garde…and did i mention…infinitely chic. watch and listen.
