#aw2016issue

The Lifetime film "The Real MVP” came about because of basketball star Kevin Durant’s powerful 2014 MVP acceptance speech. In that speech Durant paid tribute to the struggles and sacrifices of his mother Wanda Pratt when he announced: “You’re the real MVP.” He described how Pratt told him, over and over, while growing up: “Do not quit, no matter what.” For more on Wanda, check out our latest issue. @therealmamadurant Styled by: @sankaraxt MUA: @jlens_makeup Photographed by: @marcel.dutch #WandaPratt #TheRealMVP #Lifetime #KevinDurant #fashion #nevergiveup #neverquit #print #printmagazine #mother #motherandson #gratificationissue #aw2016issue (at New York, New York)

Don't underestimate the power of a great handbag. Mary Lai, founder and owner of @marylai.co NEW York, lovingly designs and manufactures luxury bags which reflect her unique style and individual attention. Perhaps the most distinctive thing about these bags, aside from the painstaking care that goes into their construction with hand-selected leather, specialty materials, and hardware, is Mary’s story itself—a story that reflects the remarkable and inspiring drive of an artist passionate to share her talent. #dreambig #marylaihandbags #gratificationissue #aw2016issue #luxuryhandbag #handmade #fashion #designawards #fashionblogger #fashionaccesories Photography by @marcparroquin.
