#twomensissue

We love our Sunday Morning New York Times!  @Nytimes - Especially today-- #repost via @tmagazine Uninterested in disciplined minimalism, the designers @FranHickman, @MartinBrudnizki, @BeataHeuman, @RitaKonig, @LukeEdwardHall and Rifat Ozbek (@rifat_ozbek) are championing England’s long-held preference for color, wit and wackiness. The English have long prized ecumenical, brightly colored cheekiness — not merely in their conversation but also in their surroundings. It was the British, for example, who took paisley, the rain-drop-shaped iconography that originated in Iran in the 14th century, and made an industry from it; the Scottish town that gave it its Western name based an entire 18th- and 19th-century economy on shawls and textiles woven with the pattern. In the mid-1800s, the influence of pale, late neo-Classicism and Empire style gave way to dark-hued Victorian embellishment, which was later followed by a period of Edwardian restraint. But what followed, in the beginning of the 20th century, was a blossoming of the worldly eccentricity we now associate with magpie English design.

👏🏾📷🖤#African-Asian -American #beauty @adesuwa graces the cover of today's @tmagazine Women's Fashion issue, 📸 by @WillyVanderperre! Kudos to the @nytimes magazine for featuring models of color (slide ⬅️) and promoting diversity in the fashion world. See the full spread/read the article: tmagazine.com/fashion #RepresentationMatters From @tmagazine - The shape of things to come, starring the season's freshest faces. For T's Women's Fashion issue cover story, the models of the moment — cover star Adesuwa Aighewi (@adesuwa), @AnokYai, @AlyssaTraore and Sora Choi (@sola5532) — try on a mix of supersize streetwear and pumped-up couture details. T's editor in chief @HanyaYanagihara writes: "Asian, black, Middle Eastern and Latina women aren’t gimmicks, and finally, their presence is becoming less a stunt and more a matter of fact. When I’m at the shows, I’m watching the faces as much as the outfits, and as soon as I saw our cover model, #AdesuwaAighewi, I knew I wanted her for this magazine. The Nigerian-Chinese-Thai-American daughter of scientists, she is clearly black and clearly Asian, clearly beautiful and clearly and inimitably herself. What more could fashion, or its admirers, hope for than this? A woman who belongs to several places at once; a woman who is entirely her own. That is the dream of belonging, because it is also the dream of self."
