What's HOT: Dolce and Gabanna

When I think of accessories there is no better store in my opinion than D&G at the Beverly Center. The manager, Becky is cool as shit and she always hooks me up. I was looking through their Fall 2008-2009 calendar and ran across a few items that I just HAD to share. Of course the stuff is over-priced, but most things are in this city, including the prostitutes (not that I know personally).

One thing I continually find interesting is that although many many African Americans and Latino's wear this very famous brand, you don't often see many people of color modeling their clothing or accessories. Why do you think that is? I remember once when folks were running about saying Tommy Hilfiger was on the Oprah show saying that he didn't intend to have minorities wearing his clothes. On Oprah?! I couldn't believe that rumor got as much traction as it did. OK, back to fashion. These shoes are SICK SICK SICK! And there is no way to wear those without accessorizing them with a watch and pair of D&G shades. Now yes, you're probably going to spend a couple thousand dollars when you go into this store, and that's ok. If you don't have a couple thousand dollars you shouldn't be reading this blog!

Hip Hop & Fashion: The Takeover

For years, African American's have dominated pop-culture in every area. Sports, music, television, and now fashion, WE dominate what the world watches, listens to, and wears.

Kanye West has recently launched his own line of shoes with the internationally known Louis Vuitton, setting the path for many more to 'cross over.' Although I personally don't connect Kanye to Louis Vuitton, I guess he does create a buzz when it comes to all things hot. You can wear them too for a little over $900.


Today I chatted real brief with on Twitter with "American Boy" singer Estelle who notified the internet world of her the new Dolce and Gabanna Bag titled, Red Estelle Bag. Estelle's music is about as hot as this red leather patent leather tote. Dolce and Gabanna has always been my choice of a good accessorie, shoe, or sunglass. The clothes are hot too if you're a european size 0 (and I ain't nowhere near that). I definitely think that all black folks who can afford fine clothing and accessories should rush out and buy them. Rappers and singers aren't the only people who can wear these materials, they just insipire and open the door for all of us to rock what's hot! Big ups to both Estelle and Kanye West. Oh, and you can buy the bag for around $840.
