GIRL CRUSH - Halima Aden

I am so so so so so loving Halima Aden .... nothing in London but she is killing it in Milan walking in shows.... such as Max Mara and Alberta Feretti ... she is breaking barriers and is a one woman diversity band wagon ...... this is progress I thank the brands that are booking her and i hope they are not booking her for the wrong reasons but either way which ever way a statement is being made and I am all for it ..... I will always remember FW 17 camel coats from Max Mara......


Halima I salute YOU!!!

Ladies and Gentleman I give you a real supermodel! if she isn't now she's gonna be ..... let's forget these rich fast track models ....







Progress guys ........... Halima on the cover of a magazine .......I'm kind of more proud of this cover than when I got my own first cover....

GIRL CRUSH - LEOMIE ANDERSON

Move over Cara and Jourdan and make room for Leomie ... she's no new comer but now she's rising to the ranks of supermodel.. the 20 years London born model was discovered by Premier Models at the tender age of 15 and now's theres no stopping her ... she has worked for the likes of Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford to name a few and will be one of the stars of the Kenneth Cole's AW 14 show "What's Real and What's for show?" make sure you check that out ... I've met Leomie a few times and she's one of the most humble models ive met and I pray she stays that way because for me that's her pull ...

GIRL CRUSH - SOLANGE KNOWLES

I'm sure alot of yourselves who get the newsletter daily, visit daily or read whenever you can have noticed recently my one man campaign called "What about Solange?" she's a star in her own right but I think she should be alot bigger .... superstar status and more ... I Love the whole family I mean look at what they have all achieved ... I tell you Beyonce and Solange have cheered me up to no end with their music when I'm down...


So tight now I'm having the biggest girl crush on Solange ... she is just amazing ... a dancer, a dj, a singer, a sister, actress, mother, style icon ... do I need to go on?  in the style stakes she never ever ever gets it wrong she has her own unique style that I love so much and as a stylist she would be my dream client as she like to play and be playful with fashion .... most of us strip back runway looks when we are styling clients but this girl vamps it up ... never mind double print clashes, she goes for triple and it looks amazing! Just once, Just once I tell I would love to style her and for free and would be at her beckon call...

Now let's talk hair ... does every style out there suit her? erm YES! but its the afro and my personal favourite  ... the cropped hairstyle ...

DJ ... she is one of the hottest ones around I was  fortunate to attend a party she was DJ'ing at and OMG! she's hot!

Now let's take her music ... she is if I be honest not a strong singer like sister but her songs have substance, meaning and will have you singing along...  just like this track ... losing you ...


So there we have it ... and no I'm not a stalker ... my experience with Solange is a good one ... I did a last minute trip to Milan a year or so ago ... did do my hair and did not have special clothes I mean after all i was attending a Dolce&Gabbana party which are legendary and commands the elite as guests .. ok im rambling ... so I was at the party and guess who walks in? Solange! we took a picture had a chat and I was hooked.... the picture is on my blog Im trying to find it but I cant as I didn't tag the post and as you know the site is live and is updated with news instantly so lots of posts (sad face) but when i do find it I will post it ...

for now enjoy my favourite track from Solange well one of them as I like all her songs .. and enjoy my collage of pictures which I sourced from the net so apologies for nicking!


SOLANGE I SALUTE YOU!!! .... am I a stalker? Im not just so proud of this girl and in Awwwww!!

With her mother Tina Knowles .. who must be the proudest mother on this planet ..

With her beyond superstar sister who needs no introduction... ok BEYONCE! #screeeaaaammm

Girl Crush: Joan Smalls
