MLK Day

I remember seeing this show and it was so riveting. This play was perfect timing for me because I had a job interview the next day. I left this show feeling so empowered and yes, I got the job.

 
 

Getting accepted into my high school was a dream come true for me. I worked hard on my portfolio and my family took me to the audition. I just knew where I wanted to be and what I wanted to do. Which was gain as much knowledge as I could and apply it to the real world.

After graduating High School I wanted so badly to contribute and get behind the scenes of the fashion industry and what better place than New York right. Well I pushed myself and looked for opportunities. I got my start as an intern for Walter Baker.

Since then I’ve been fortunate to have sat front row and work behind the scenes at many fashion shows.

Looks Familiar: Vintage Valentino

The dress was first seen on the catwalk in the 1990s, worn by Linda Evangelista.

 
 

The actress chose a black-and-white striped gown from Valentino's archive.

“Wearing a vintage gown on the red carpet relays a strong message of new consumption – vintage today is a lifestyle more than a trend,” Sophie Hersan, Vestiaire Collective’s fashion director and co-founder told us of the trend. “I think this decade will see this movement grow even bigger, vintage allows a celebrity to be glamorous and celebrate beautiful designs from the past whilst representing something more than fashion, making a stand for sustainability.”

“We’re all connected by the things we love.”

She topped off the look with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara — which Queen Elizabeth also wore on her own wedding day. Originally, the tiara was crafted in 1919 for Queen Mary by Garrard and Co. It was made from a diamond necklace gifted by Queen Victoria, according to the palace.  

The groom donned a morning suit for the occasion.

Louis Vuitton’s dreamy new Escale collection

ClassicThrifty Contribution

In uncertain times, many of us dream of escape, perhaps to a far-away beach, where the sun shines and salt water laps softly against bare legs.

Such is the inspiration behind Louis Vuitton’s just-launched collection for spring, aptly named LV Escale, which translates to a stopover on a journey. The tie-dye printed goods (including ready-to-wear, accessories and swimwear) range from deep blue to warm pink colorways.
