Michelle Obama's Vogue's Cover hits best sellers list


The frameworthy issue sold 560,000 copies on the newsstand, 1,000 more copies than their most recent best selling September issue. WWD writer Stephanie D. Smith says, “The First Lady has been featured on the covers of Ladies Home Journal, More, Ebony, People and Us Weekly, however sales for those titles have varied. (According to Advertising Age, sales for the September issue of Ladies Home Journal with both her and husband President Barack Obama on the cover were 21 percent smaller than the year prior.) Obama is also featured on the April issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, along with Oprah Winfrey, and the May issue of Essence with her mother, Marian Robinson.

RAFW trends: Textured Hair


Forget soft bouncy waves and glossy blow-dries. Hair for next summer is all about texture: slick, matt and the more messed up the better. At Friedrich Gray, hair went through a series of  textured transformations as the show went on. Strands started off soft and straight, then a mixture of ghd Obedience Cream and ghd Shining Serum was heavily applied to the models’ ends for slick definition and worked its way up to glossy wet-look up ‘dos. 

For camilla and marc, KMS International Director, Clive Allwright proved that the dirty next-day club hair look can still be sexy providing its done the right way. For that he blasted models’ strands with KMS California Hairplay Sea Salt Spray and applied Hairplay Dry Wax to the roots for extra definition and lift. “We repeated this four or five times so that the end result was almost like a slightly matted tendril,” he said backstage. The ends were twisted with Hairplay Clay Crème for added rock-chic glamour.

At Ginger & Smart, the clothes referenced the 80’s while the hair nodded towards the future. Sculpted, slightly messy egg-shaped ‘dos were pinned at the nape of the neck and the sides slicked with KMS Hairstay Max Gel.

The beauty about these textured looks? They don’t have to be perfect. Sexy disheveled styles for summer, here we come. 

RAFW-Camilla and Marc




Brother and sister design duo Camilla Freeman-Topper and Marc Freeman described their inspiration for this collection as sex, strength and skin but it could have had just as much to do with front row guest, WAG and social page staple Lara Bingle. Body-conscious, black dresses with zippers, gold cami’s and nude frocks with metallic glimpses all screamed the kind of vodka-fuelled sex that Bingle’s devoted followers dream about. Less lusty but more appealing were cool tanks, paired with slouchy denim shorts, relaxed silver knits and cool, simple strong-shouldered, thigh-skimming metallic dresses. It was a softer, more relaxed come on. While striped panelled dresses with knotted backs made our aphrodisiacs wear off slightly but, bold shouldered jackets that were part Balmain, part matador got the blood flowing again. Hats and tailored pants off to a sexy start to fashion week without the foreplay

Sonic Slimmers Shape Wear launches for Fall 2009

 
Sonic Slimmers is the newest revolutionized system in shape wear, rivaled only with Spanx as the most modern form of shape wear to hit the market.
 
The collection, designed by Kathleen Kirkwood features shape wear that is both lightweight, breathable and doesn't flatten a woman's curves. Sonic Slimmers™ features a collection of 4 staple pieces: a waist smoothing camisole, a back firming tank, a tummy tucking long short and a no-slip slip with a patent-pending booty boost. Each piece uses Dupont Tactel Lycra®  for a 'fine/thin' layer on the body, yet has 20% Lycra for firm smoothing power. Tactel/Lycra is tested to wick and transport moisture for a cool effect. Tummy Panels are laminated without sewing and sealed with ultra-sonic sound waves, while beautifully designed at the hem and neck area's with intricate laser cut-out designs. Now shaping  doesn't have to be 'concealed'..... Sonic Slimmers will smooth away gravity's relentless grip; you'll feel the power without the bulk of 'other' thick nude hosiery cincher's."
 
Additionally, their flattering tanks and tops are pretty enough to peek through blouses on their own and come in an assortment of different colors and prints-taking matronly shape wear to a whole new level. With price points ranging from retail for $50, the collection can be purchased at www.kathleenkirkwood.com  and other fine retailers.
 
Additional shape wear products by Kathleen Kirkwood include bust enhancing product called Bust-ease, which are able to be worn inside bras and bathing suits without weighing them down and have amazing light technology that forms them so no sewing is involved.

Arlenis Sosa, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Chanel iman on the cover of I-D

A very reliable source has hinted to us the I-D Magazine is doing an all black cover and it will feature models Arlenis Sosa, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman on the cover. We are not sure yet if it will be an all black issue or is it just the cover, regardless this is a major moment in fashion magazines, since the release of the all black issue by Italian Vogue last July, more and more magazines have taken upon themselves to feature more models of color. Change is true upon us. Congrats to the models.
