One of my favorite t-shirt companies, Minoritees is feeling the pinch of the economy but they are simply too amazing to see disappear. If you have never heard of this company, Minoritees makes t-shirts celebrating diversity and they are definitely someone you should be supporting. They are having a huge sale on their gear and additionally you can get $5 off once you spend over $20 by entering the coupon code "FROPIC"
I ordered a few the other day including a tank top that says "Naturally Tanned" and a tshirt that says "Sexual Chocolate"! Gotta love em!
After scouring the internet for hours I finally tracked down some runway photos for the Andrew Christian fashion show I did at the Bienestar charity event back in November. In case you didn't know I was really blind without my glasses but it was really fun and hopefully it will lead to more runways.
Mikel Kilgour
By Norman Mayers
Attempting to describe Mikel Kilgour is quite a daunting task. Throughout his life the man has worn many hats and continues to defy description. Fine Artist. Fashion Designer. Conceptual Art Director. Interior Designer. Writer. Lecturer. Model Scout. Image Maker. He is a great many things but he is never dull, predictable, or forgettable. From designing the red carpet attire of everyone from Magic Johnson to Will Smith to assisting minority fashion models with their first chance at success, Mikel is involved in all aspects of the creative world. His influences and inspirations read like an encyclopedia of tastemakers, the avant-garde, and the influential: Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell, Grace Jones, Josephine Baker, Pablo Picasso, Yves St. Laurent, Salvador Dali, Richard Avedon, Basquiat, Nina Simone, the Smashing Pumpkins, Herb Ritts, Christian Dior. To look into his achievements is to look into the life of a true artist.
