Adidas X Jeremy Scott X A$AP Rocky


She said she want that pretty flocka !!!!! Today Jeremy Scott, and Adidas released the Sneak Peek image for their new project with rapper A$AP Rocky for the Js Wings 2.0. Jeremy Scott is one of my favorite designers and who doesn't love Jeremy Scott but the Black Flag sneakers which have an all black canvas and high top with the infamous jeremy wing everyone loves on "the new improved classic Adidas" some would say. I love that the shoe is covered with leather LUXE and some of you maybe asking well where does A$AP come into play. The Harlem rapper touch comes by way of embroidered five-point stars, this is also a nod to the A$AP Mob black and white American flag. I know for a fact that these will sale out once they hit store's all Jeremy's shoe's now go once they hit stores. There is also talk of the release date being this coming Fashion Week which is next week. I guess we have to wait and see. It's crazy how I'm not a big sneaker head anymore like I use to be.

AFRO PUNK FEST 2013



I felt as if I was on set of the Poetic Justice movie!! I haven't been to a big festival like this since I left California as a Teenager. My first year at Afro Punk which was held in the Commodore Barry Park in Brooklyn ( I love brooklyn ). For some reason I always forget I have a camera in my hand or in my bag so I can snap images for you guys on my blog so you kind of miss the good moments but I still some how get a few for you. Actually never been in a park let alone just a place full of fashionable African Americans and they are just having fun. I loved every moment of it.

CANDICE SWANEPOEL FOR VOUGE MEXICO




I came across this spread of model Candice Swanepoel (some of you may know her from the Victoria Secret runway shows.) In the September Issue, well I'm sorry on the Cover of Vogue Mexico. I haven't really done a spread post in a very long time my first one was actually on Candice as well (http://askiaabdull.blogspot.com/2013/05/candice-swenpoel-in-wild-cat.html). I have always been a big fan of the IMG model and every image I see of her I love her more and more and with this issue as you can see from the behind the scenes video above Vogue Mexico is playing no games with this Sizzling Hot New York love story.

NO TIME OFF!!!

"I've been up all night, tryin to get that rich.... I've been WORK, WORK ,WORK, WORKING ON MY ................." I recently went back to Atlanta just to get some winter to clothes because I have decided to stay for the rest of the year. I've been getting a lot of work so why not :).. On my trip back to Atlanta I did nothing but work, taking care of emails for fashion Week and future shoots and also setting up shoots in Atlanta as well. It was actually fun going back for those few days seeing family and old and new friends. I met with a good friend of mine photographer Eleet to do a personal shoot for myself, which the images came out amazing loved them all. Seeing I never like any pictures from any of my shoots, I thought he did an amazing job of shooting me. I actually didn't stop there.

THE ART OF GAGA'S 4 COVER STORIES



 As Lady Gaga " LIVES FOR THE APPLAUSE " The world is living for Lady Gaga. With Gaga already covering the latest Issue of women's wear daily ( www.com ) with the reveal of her album for her come back with " Art Pop ". Gaga has been at work nonstop ( claps hands ) and shot a 4 cover stories with V magazine. It honestly should be called Gaga mag I feel she has the most covers then any other artist. With the 4 covers she wanted it to be about her life and her art.
"I thought about Pop Art and how the dominant subject matter was always the celebrity or the pop-culture icon on the canvas, and then I thought to myself, But what I have tried endlessly to become through my work is a celebration of my differences through art, with myself as the canvas, as opposed to me as the subject matter, being put on the canvas. I don’t want to be an icon in just one form. I want to be an icon in many forms. So that’s where it began."

Celine Pre-Fall 2013 Collection



Let's talk about Celine's Pre- Fall collection, Phoebe never disappoints and also stays on trend! With the pre-fall collection Phoebe toyed with a little of traditional ideas of shape, and tailoring things I love in a collection. The look book started off with an menswear inspired double breasted suit with shinny and gold plated dress shoe's you will see throughout the collection also a few platforms. This is actually one of my favorite pre fall women's collections, oversized structure chic and still fashion forward . The designer gave you different types of men inspired looks like jump suits, suits, and oversized coats. She also infused lots of feminine pieces like the three quarter length pleated leather skirts, leather peplum long sleeve shirt and even the oversized like elbow length fitted leather dress pieced with a big gold pirate belt. the designer added tones of bags and hats ,and more pleated skirts and also oversized wool coat. Celine is the perfect fashion forward street style fashion week collection in my eyes love it.

DR MARTEN "WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR"





I had a long day of pulling garments and meeting with designers for all the past shoots I did this weekend, but someway somehow I had to make my way to the Dr Martens AW13 Campaign Launch party. As I walked into the 90s tracks of Blondie playing on the turn tables of Melo X held in the Dr Martin showroom. I was in heaven with all the British Iconic shoes scattered all around, so many new styles of doc's spiked, glitter , patent leather, plaid, snake skin, and clear Dr Martens of all kinds.( I LOVE DR MARTENS) The night was full of music, beautiful people, fun and DOC'S.  Julian Thomas a publicist at the Exposure showroom managed to keep us all entertained with The Bosco who provide us with a photo-booth we all enjoyed and also street artist Nephilim Giant of Street Savvy New York transforming doc's in the back room and fish & chips along with british beer, seeing that Dr Marten is an British brand. I enjoyed my night of fun meeting and connecting new bloggers, stylist and other publicist.
