"The Door" A short fashion film featuring Miu Miu Spring 2013

Film directed by Ava Duvernay

Bad Break-up? It's nothing like some good girlfriends to pull you through the rough times. I absolutely loved this short silent fashion film called "The Door" featuring some great starlets: Alfre Woodard, Gabrielle Union, singer-songwriter Goapele, Emayatzy Corinealdi, and Adepero Oduye. What a beautiful film featuring some amazing pieces from Miu Miu Spring 2013 Collection!

Weekend Inspiration: Menswear

Hey LeMahogany Readers!

This weekend I woke up with the question of what a LeMahogany Man would look like? This is a very challenging question because I honestly do not know.  Handsome and strong are give ins but....how would he dress, his style? As I work on perfecting my Men Illustrations  I decided to do some inspiration seeking.  I am huge fan of Ozwald Boateng and finally had gotten a chance to watch is documentary entitled "A Man's Story"   It's a great documentary and recommend it to anyone who doesn't know about him as an amazing British Menswear Designer and Artist.

And who doesn't love Suit&Tie hit song by Justin Timberlake ft Jay-Z!  I really can not wait to see this song visually.

As I continue to scourer GQ Magazines and other Menswear websites and blogs for inspiration of the LeMahogany Man..I have the ask another question is The Dapper making a come back for 2013?

I certainly hope so! ^_^

Pre Fall 13' Donna Karan Illustration (Follow Up)

My Illustration of Donna Karan Pre-Fall 13'

Fashion week is just around the corner! I can't wait for New York Fashion Week #NYFW (livestream) shows!  Pre-fall 13' showings have came and went.  Here's a follow-up illustration I did based off my blog post on my favorite pre-fall 13' look.  The more I illustrated it reminded me of a Vogue photo of Marilyn Monroe on her last photo shoot before she died.  

Marilyn Monroe, September 1962

The dress speaks volumes and the mystery behind the photo is sort of haunting.  What is Marilyn thinking? What is on her mind?  I think its an amazing photograph and along with a great Donna Karan Pre-Fall 13' Collection.
