TODAY'S SONG IS .....
Ok some of you may know and some may not know ...... its going to be a very private affair although I am thinking about livestreaming it on Facebook BUT!
December 28th I am getting married ... Who's the lucky person? I'm getting married to .........
MYSELF ..... I'm fed up of dating and people saying I'm ugly and only dating him because of what doors he can open for me
So enough of that shit ... I've got the ring and ting and that's it
I'm a strong independent Black woman who don't need nobody
Ok the point is .... this is my wedding song .... it took a longtime for me to choose this one ....suprisingly its not a Mariah track

G-Star RAW Research & Aitor Throup Creative Director
G Star RAW announces : Aitor Throup is now the creative director.
Furthermore, he has produced his first collection for G-Star: RAW Research.
The first collection explores the two polar opposite states in the life of a denim garment: rigid, untreated raw denim and bleached white denim where only a hint of indigo remains.
The 20-piece collection includes a bleached version of the Rackam 3D Tapered jeans and the Rackam bomber, a jacket that can be taken off yet remain attached to the body through an innovative strapping system.
It will be available in select concept stores including Dover Street Market, London, around the world from November 15th 2016. .
There is a natural connection between G-Star and Throup as they share a design ethos that is rooted in innovation and identified by 3D construction. “It was this shared philosophy that initially drew me to the brand,” says Throup. "When I first met with G-Star, I was struck by the product-focused DNA and conceptual approach to design.” Throup’s suitability to communicate the brand ethos through continued 3D experimentation and construction is undeniable, and G-Star is looking forward to pursuing new realms of denim innovation together.”

Meet The Fashion Designer Who Escaped A Civil War In Sierra Leone
Meet The Fashion Designer Who Escaped A Civil War In Sierra Leone To Launch A Contemporary Fashion Label In The UK That Is Set To Change The World
Meet The Fashion Designer Who Escaped A Civil War In Sierra Leone To Launch A Contemporary Fashion Label In The UK That Is Set To Change The World
Born in the Eastern town of Kono, Sierra Leone Isatu Harrison was raised by her entrepreneurial single mother with her 3 siblings. Whilst living in Kono, civil war broke out which put her community in danger. Her entire family had to escape from the civil war in Kono and moved to the capital of Sierra Leone, Freetown.
Despite being uprooted from her family home, Isatu had a happy upbringing and knew that there was much more to Sierra Leone than the war which seemed to define it at the time. She grew up watching her mother design outfits for herself and others using traditional West African tie-dyed prints. In a country with no welfare system, Isatu’s mother worked hard to ensure that her family did not have to struggle and Isatu hails her mother as her biggest inspiration and influence. Despite there being very few opportunities, particularly within the fashion industry in Sierra Leone, Isatu was encouraged to pursue her purpose and developed her gifts as a fashion designer.
Although her passion for fashion was still at the forefront of her mind, when Isatu arrived in The UK in 2001 she studied a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at South Bank University and subsequently an MBA. The corporate world overshadowed the creative world and Isatu undertook a number of management roles in HR within the private and public sectors – including Transport for London.
After starting a family with her husband, and having a daughter who now has a budding career in modelling, Isatu could no longer ignore her true calling; fashion. She invested her savings and started her own fashion label, Izelia which interweaves the two cultural landscapes of Britain and Sierra Leone.
Isatu officially launched Izelia at Africa Fashion Week in August 2014 and London Fashion Week in the same year. By drawing from her Sierra Leonean heritage Isatu has created a modern and sophisticated range of ready to wear pieces. Izelia is a brand for those who want to make an impression in stylish and colourful outfits with high quality fabrics and structured tailoring. Each piece features a new twist on African-inspired fashion and Isatu’s own signature style of design.
By combining colourful African tie-dye and prints, Izelia brings a taste of Sierra Leone to the British high street. Having seen the impact that civil war can make on communities, Isatu wants to be at the forefront of a new generation of ‘AfriCapitalists’ – African entrepreneurs driving growth, awareness and development in Africa, through marketing and selling the best that Africa has to offer.

Isatu will be opening a boutique in Winter 2016 in East London where she will be organising training programmes and apprenticeships opportunities for immigrants / first generation citizens in fashion design.
“I intend to inspire and assist women in rural Sierra Leone, be a voice for these women and young creatives. Whilst the brand is becoming well entrenched in the UK, as an African, I feel I have a role to play in the economic development of my continent. Through Izelia, I wish to invest long-term in Sierra Leone’s private sector and I am interested in developing manufacturing, as well as production factories and establishing additional outlets in Africa. I am proud to be among a growing crop of entrepreneurs who are creating employment opportunities and bringing economic growth to our countries across Africa” – Isatu Harrison
Isatu is set to take the fashion industry by storm in the UK, Sierra Leone and across the world.

A Mother of All Sneakers - EYTYS - Now on SSENSE.COM
Behind the most efficient exercises in simplicity, there’s an elusive process that’s complex. Anyone can throw details, patterns, and reference points at a shoe, but forging an identity with an uncomplicated silhouette is a tougher affair. Apparent ease betrays the ingenuity of a product’s genesis. Stockholm’s Eytys, launched by Max Schiller and Jonathan Hirschfeld in 2013, made its mark with the Mother shoe. It is appropriately maternal in its name, birthing other carefully conceived models, all of which are immediately recognizable from a distance. But where do you start when it comes to creating your own iconic staple? For high-end brands, merely aping an old favorite in premium materials seems to be enough. In a more affordable and covetable indie sector of the market, however, applying your own aesthetic is essential.

RADDAR7: Fearlessly IndividualRADDAR7 is committed to removing the shackles of conformity, allowing the restless spirit of creativity to have its freedom. RADDAR7 is hedonistic and romantic. It doesn’t care for the boundaries and limitations set by others. Their customers are men who are proud to demonstrate their own individualism in the clothes that they wear.

Charismatic and assertively creative, their iconic, darkly romantic designs play with geometric and abstract forms and expressive visual details. RADDAR7 create wearable art that expresses the unbounded imagination of the wearer, exploring the indefinable and the spontaneous in boldly original designs.

There is no compromise on quality, and every piece in their collection is crafted from the best materials and ethically sourced. RADDAR7 artists are every bit as individual as the designs they produce. Their creative family are always pushing the boundaries of art and design. The artists unique talents mean RADDAR7 can capture the spirit of their natural and supernatural designs, turning them into aspirational wear for men with a real sense of identity. RADDAR7 challenges the conventional and harnesses the friction between art and fashion. |
