The sneaker game has changed quite a bit in recent years with more high end designers throwing their hat in the ring.

The voice. When you hear the sweet tones of Whitney Houston, it seems as if she’s in the room with you singing sweetly or belting out one of her many power ballads. She was an unmistakable talent and her passing is still very fresh to many fans and admirers. Vocal ability was her strong suit, everyone knew it but not many know of her background in fashion.

I have followed Biso Gxashe aka Biso Fly on Twitter for quite some time and he’s one of the most down to earth tweeters I’ve followed. He doesn’t talk a whole lot about his work but he shows it in the form of gigs, editorials and the like. The name Biso means “us” in Lingala, a popular language in central Africa. I thought it was interesting that Biso’s twitter handle…

I hate to say she’s a great female DJ because Mim is simply a great DJ. I had a chat with Mim to talk about her music background and what makes her tick on and off the turntables…get familiar !! Fashion Citizen : From that first…

Buying Balmain, affording Aldo…This phrase came to me a few days before the New Year ended and I knew I had to make this editorial happen. Social Media has perverted some of what I’ve always loved about fashion and I’m compelled to speak on it.
