Kit Neale S/S 2010

I can't remember whether I told you guys about the Graduate show at Ravensbourne of which I got asked to model for?

*awkward pause*

I thought I did.

This is Kit Neales dandy meets royalty in a bowl of confetti fusion. Does that description even make sense? Well either way it was probably my most exciting day at Ravensbourne and very much so my last. But...

Here is some of the interest he's been shown since the Graduate Show. < That's a link.

It speaks Volumes. Non?

#More Scanning

I photocopied these from a book in my Uni library (Ravensbourne) but I can't remember what book it was. 


Yeah, It's really starting to really get to me.

                

I'm wondering why at this point I didn't opt to save the title in my phones memo pad instead of on a scar piece of paper that I later tore in half to use as a bookmark on several occasions.


If you've seen them before or seen anything similar definitely let me know. Also if you double click you can get a really big clear picture in high-quality...that's the beauty of scanning

Stunning model Sessilee Lopez wows in a colorful, tribal-inspired shoot for Contributing Editor’s May 2011 issue.

Photographed by Tetsuharu Kubota, Lopez rocks her hair in a bold and fiery updo drawing attention to her striking features enhanced with vivid blue, pink and white face paint.

Snippet From Fab Magazine

100th Post I think...no giveaways though. I'm looking for a job so I can deck my wardrobe out. I was on Brick Lane Sunday just gone I only took a couple bit and bobs but half my wardrobe shouldn't belong to me any longer.


But that's a whole 'nother post- COMING SOON


For now here's some styling from FAB magazine.

Oh! Africa

She looks like someone you might see in Coming To America? Non?

Not that particular woman per say, but you know what I mean right?

This model is amazing- Guetan ELito @ D1 Models

I want one of these hats

I like the work as a photograph as well as for styling which is always a Bonus.

Georgie Baddiel

It's been a long time since I've gone back to my original purpose for living (promoting black models) I guess I just moved on. Well, I'm back on it!


I was flicking through my pile of magazines or was I?
Can't remember but I found this absolute beauty of whose face I'm still deciding whether I prefer to Betty Adewole. I try not to be fickle sometimes but it never lasts.


Anyway here she is:

& The Rest

Naomi Campbell Covers

This month she was on the cover of Vogue Russia, next month Naomi will move a bit further east as she covers  fashion mag, Vogue China. She really is on fire at the moment.Not to mention the cover she has on Mixte Magazine.

Of The Supermodel 6 her and Linda Evangelista are the one's I admire most

She's said to have the perfect female athlete's body

Up-and-Coming Model

You should all know I'm all about supporting black models and all that stuff. It's funny when people bring up why some people have made it so successfully and The Fashion Insiders always reply with something vague and pretentious like it's the structure of her face or she has an exotic/ethereal look. Some examples of this are women like Alek Wek who most definitely takes great shots but to the Black Community she's just another dark African.

I don't think anyone can truthfully claim to see world-class potential in the above photograph nor could you have suspected she would rise to the fame she has today

..and then we see her that when she actually gets behind the camera. Hair, Make-up, $2000 jacket (and photoshop) she would come out with a picture like this

....Or this! One of my favourite photoshoots of Alek Wek with a Tribal Theme (obviously) for I-D Magazine sometime last year.

Either way shes paved the way for another model from Sudan namely Nykhor (Red models) who has quite an uncanny resemblance to Miss. Wek. You know her much sent her black ass off to N Y as soon as they heard about Alek.
