ON THE SCENE- THE BABY PHAT FASHION SHOW 09'



Hey guys welcome back ..enjoy one of my articles.
For many years now designer Kimora Lee Simmons' Baby Phat shows has been
one of the hottest tickets in town during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. And
this year's Decade celebration show last Friday, Sept 12th, was no
exception. The show was held at it's usual venue, the amazing Roseland Ballroom. The atmosphere backstage before the show was exciting. Models were getting their finishing touches and press awaited eagerly for the first looks and exclusive interviews with the woman of the hour. Armed with my gold All Access Pass, I was able to see Kimora emerge from her dressing room wearing a charming green 70's inspired strapless jumper, with lots of gold accessories. One of the
reporters complemented Kimora on her gold ring and the Diva instantly took the ring off and gave it to the reporter, how Fab is that! Like the Baby Phat shows in the past there was lots of star power. Celebrities such as Andre Leon Tally of Vogue, tennis great Serena Williams, basketball star Carmello Anthony accompanied by his fiancé/MTV host La La Vasquez, singer Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane, model/actress Joy
Bryant, Rapper Jada Kiss, and many more flooded the front rows. As the
lights dimmed the moment we all waited almost an extra hour for was
finally here. A huge monitor at the head of the runway showed a video of
Baby Phat's growth and evolution over the last decade. The fabrics flowed
and the accessories glowed as Kimora showcase the perfect juxtaposition of
modern high fashion and vintage urban chic. The colors were bright and the
hair was straight and long. Inspired by the looks of the sixties and
seventies; with wide leg pants, headscarves and beautiful ethnic prints
that were candy to the eyes, Wood Stock came to 5th Ave. Purple and green
were seen all over the runway. The models wore denim shorts that can be
worn as underpants and swimsuits that double as tops . With funky music
and flashing lights this show was quite an extravaganza from start to
finish. I truly enjoyed it. The notable absence of Russell Simmons who has never missed a show until now was further highlighted as Kimora' new love Djimon Honsu took Russell's usual place at the beginning of the catwalk and accepted the traditional hugs and kisses from adorable daughters and little fashionista's in training, Ming and Akoi Lee Simmons.Kimora Lee Simmons is well known for her Faboulosity, so it was no surprise that the after party was over the top. The post show festivities were held at The Plaza Hotel on 59th street and 5th ave. There was a private dinner in the Terrace room followed by guests moving
upstairs for more champagne, music by DJ Cassidy and dancing in The Grand
Ballroom. Kimora changed into a ravishing gold sequenced gown and was a
gracious host to partygoers including actor Ice Tea and wife CoCo, singers
Maxwell and Latoya Luckett among other stars. Coupled with great clothing,
celebrities and a luxurious ambiance the Baby Phat experience was a night
to remember.

SPOTLIGHT-COOGI IS BACK!!!


Hey guys welcome back.. I wanted to Spotlight the majorness that is going on at The Wagon Boutique. The Wagon Boutique is a place to find your style. The owners are well known trendsetters from BK, they use The Wagon as a tool to help America get fresh. This store is great because all of the pieces are supper exclusive. They understand the need for the trendsetter to be one of kind. They stock pieces that only real fly guys and girls will truly appreciate. And when I am talking about fly I mean Car Show on Easter Fly , Empire Skating ring fly, if you are fly you remember those days. It is becoming what S&D's once was. As the time changes so does fashion but style stays the same, and The Wagon understands that. That is why they are bringing Coogi's back. Coogi was the symbol for getting money in the 90's. I personally never thought I would be jumping on Coogi band wagon..but it's true I am sooo getting on. I can't wait to throw on the Coogi cardigan with my color full LV bag and my pencil jeans with thigh high red boots to kill it. That outfit might sound kind of out there when I describe it but I know you will luv it , wait until you see the pics..The wagon also carries hot bags and shades so I suggest you go there to either maintain your swagger or find it.
Enjoy the pics.

There goes my boy JU on the right one of the owners of The Wagon and a founder of Cheese Wagon Clothing Line.


I hope you guys enjoyed the pics. Stop by The Wagon Boutique and pic one up.

ON THE SCENE - THE BUDGET FASHIONISTA

Hey guys check out a mini article of mine..post your comments .
There is a place for fashion at every price point weather you shop at Saks 5th Ave or Target most of us are still trying to keep up with the latest trends. In a time where gas prices are high and credit card debt is taking over, we are striving to look good on a budget. The only problem is that some of us don't know how to, it's hard to go from shopping the racks of Bergdorf Goodman to looking for perfect cocktail dress at Conways. In times like these the person to turn to is Kathryn Finney author of How to Be A Budget Fashionista. Kathryn Finney is the creator of the website thebudgetfashionista.com which was spawned from her "love of fashion but lack of cash" in 2003. Kathryn's site is one of the most popular Blogs on the Internet and her book How to Be A Budget Fashionista , published in 2006 by Random House has been mention in over 300 publications and over 50 television segments, thus she has made appearances of NBC's Today Show, Good Morning America and CNN. On September 9th I caught up with Kathryn at her Budget Fashionista 5 year anniversary party at the Housing Works Thrift shop on 17th street in Manhattan. The party had a great mix of fashionistas , supermodel and TV Host Roshumba Williams and Carson Kressley of the TV show Queer Eye were just some of the familiar faces that were there to help her celebrate.
