Model, Neelam Gill made waves in the fashion community as the first model of Indian descent to be featured in a campaign for British luxury brand, Burberry.

Lineisy Montero, the Dominican model who became a designer favorite after her debut on the Prada runway, has taken the industry by storm!

She is silently becoming the new face of fashion's diversity initiative as she has rocked the runway for several designers including Balmain, Céline, Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and more!
There has been so much controversy around the lack of cultural diversity in the fashion industry, especially in the booking of models for campaigns and runway shows. It's a breath of fresh air to see a model of color slaying the runway in her natural black afro, alongside other models who...

Burberry recently launched its highly anticipated S/S 2015 campaign featuring 44 year old supermodel and icon Naomi Campbell, alongside a 24 year old Jourdan Dunn. The colorful and energetic campaign was shot by the talented Mario Testino and we are super excited to see models of color featured in mainstream campaigns as of late. In addition, this is the first time Burberry has exclusively used black models for their campaign. Kudos to them.
“Naomi and Jourdan – two great British icons, two strong, beautiful women and the two perfect faces for our new campaign. It is, as always, a real privilege to work with them."

Alicia Keys hosted her 11th annual Keep A Child Alive Black Ball at Hammerstein Ballroom on October 30, 2014 in NYC! She received overwhelming support from her celebrity friends as well as her hubby, Swizz Beats, who seemed more than ecstatic about co-hosting alongside P Diddy and his pregnant {and glowing} wife. Guests included Andre Leon Talley, Bethanm Hardison, Joan Smalls, Selita Ebanks, Angela Simmons, Alek Wek, Kanye, Madonna and many more.
Keep A Child Alive "celebrates the power and potential of a generation of young people who are living with HIV.' There is definitely cause to celebrate as over 2.3 million was raised for the charity. Givenchy's Ricardo Tisci {Ahh we love him} was honored and live collaborative performances included...

Oscar winner, Yale graduate, and "Woman of the Year," Lupita Nyong'o covers Glamour Magazine's December issue. I must say, I am very impressed with her interview. Editors at Glamour could have taken the easy route and focused only on Lupita's life as the new fashion industry muse or who she's dating or her next role. Instead, they provided a platform for her to continue dialogue about our current standards of beauty and how she is slowly redefining how we see it!
Playwright Eve Ensler refers to Lupita Nyong'o as "one of the great talents and spirits of our time, at the beginning of an extraordinary journey,' and we couldn't agree more. Lupita's role in 12 Years a Slave led to her win...
