FASHION INSIDER
The VMAs recognize musical talent at it’s best. Unfortunately, it was hard to recognize a “Best Dressed” at this star studded event! I guess artists are more concerned with music than their wardrobes…
None the less, I managed to find my top three and funny – they’re all European…
Who were your favorites?

Vogue UK and top Supermodels helped Fashion win the ultimate medal of honor at the 2012 London Olympic closing ceremony. Models were adorned in gold pieces created by some of Britain’s design visionaries – Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Jonathan Saunders and Paul Smith to name a few.
Calling the spread “The Midas Touch”, Nick Night (Photographer) and Lucinda Chambers (Fashion Director) did a phenomenal job showcasing the beauty of fashion – and the beauty of GOLD! Oversized posters of the photographs (featured in the September issue of Vogue UK) dropped to reveal live models wearing these golden creations.
The finale: A catwalk down the stage to the sounds of David Bowie “Fashion”; ending in a pose with fortitude, facing the crowd as if they had championed the Olympics with their winning outfits!

Yesterday marked the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London – a true honor for athletes across the world who have dedicated long hours and fought through blood, sweat, and tears to make standing in the Olympic Stadium possible. Though the attention may be turning to sports, fashion never seems to take a back seat! Vogue Magazine, did a cover shoot recognizing USA Olympic players in a unique fashion spread. However, this was no ESPN spread highlighting athletic brands like Nike, Jordan, and K-swiss – oh no! Vogue infused a little Bottega Venetta, Atelier Versace, Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Oscar de la Renta and other couture fashion designs into the mix! Confused on how they made this work? Just see below how photographer Annie Leibovitz worked her magic… (she deserves a gold medal for this one!) Enjoy –>

DVF has done – done it again! I love the combination of clean tailored styling with her traditional mix of pop colors and prints. Undoubtably, I adore the short-long-sleeve-neon wrap dress; a classic silhouette she manages to reinvent every season! Another collection – well designed! (oh and by the way… I need those shoes asap…thanks)… (size 9)

I headed out with my girls Deidra and Jania to For Sisters Only 2012 (FSO). What was supposed to be a day of relaxing, shopping vendors, and people watching… ended up turning into an adventure as always! Somehow we managed to start working at the booth for R&B singer Q. Parker of 112 selling fitness calendars! haha. We saw him looking a little distressed at his booth as he was setting up and asked if he needed some help – sure nuff, we were on the job! haha. See the photo journey Captured By Stacee Michelle ;):
l had a great time laughin, joking, and working with everyone.. including DeAngelo who managed to not get in any of my pictures! hah. It’s always great to meet a celebrity who is humble and real…Q Parker is greatness already happening!
Keep a look out for his new Album called “The MANuel” this summer and be sure to order one of his exclusive calendars at www.QParkerFitnessCalendar.com!
