As reported exclusively
by Business of Fashion Condè Nast will be launching their long anticipated e-commerce
endeavor through the now Style.com. No specific date has been given when it
will launch this fall. Editorial
content will be found at a new url voguerunway.com which will work alongside American
Vogue.
I am
interested to see how this all will play out in the fall. Style.com has become the
go to website for fashion insiders for runway coverage and so much more. It will definitely be a major
adjustment. Style.com was originally launched
in 2000 as the online home for Vogue. Here at My Own Sense of Fashion we will
keep you updated as the story progresses over the next few months.
Here at My Own Sense of Fashion we are big on showcasing fashion from across the globe. Last week Mexico wrapped up its fashion week. Here are some of the collections from the week.
The second sponsor for our upcoming 1st page anniversary is Banyancraft. We have been fortunate to be working this brand since November. They were gratuitous enough to sponsor a giveaway for our loyal readers (more details coming later). Here are atMy Own Sense of Fashionon Facebook we are a big fan of their message of fashion for a cause . 2% sales goes back to their foundation Social Foundation- Nav Chetna Seva Sansthan which helps the Indian artisans that craft these handcrafted unique items. Be sure to like their page and visit their website atwww.banyancraft.com.
1. For the readers can you tell us a little more about yourself?
Reveè Lamar:I am an independent and determined individual who believes anything worth having is worth working for. I am the mother of two amazing young ladies, and a college graduate of Florida State University (Bachelor of Science) and the University of Phoenix (MBA). I have been in the industry for about 2 years now, and I am honored and excited to be the Face of FFFW 2015. On a lighter note, I enjoy going on movie dates with my daughters, hanging out with family & friends , and shopping. I am very outgoing and absolutely love the skin that I'm in.
2. Congratulations on winning this year‘s competition. How has the experience been so far?
. I submitted last year and obviously didn't win lol; however, I did not let that discourage me. The difference between this year’s submission and last year's submission is my growth as a model. I have been more committed than ever to my brand and I kicked my determination to succeed into overdrive! The video submission this year was Reveè Lamar -- transparent, real and up close and personal.
4. Speaking on your journey as a plus size model what is your perspective on the changes in the industry? Where would you like to see it go?
Reveè Lamar : I feel as if this industry has come a long way from the previous caveman age, lol. I believe different brands and retail stores that did not originally design or carry plus sizes are realizing the amount of revenue the plus size industry brings in yearly and now want to capitalize on that. Full Figured Fashion Week has forced the fashion industry to open their eyes and realize the plus industry is a force to be reckoned with! This is only the beginning! I would love to see the day that plus size models are gracing the covers of fitness magazines with a 2-3 page spread! Then the world will know that not only success but also 'being fit' comes in ALL sizes.
5. What advice would like to give an aspiring plus size model?
Reveè Lamar: I would tell an aspiring plus size model to look in the mirror and ask herself these questions:
•Is this what I really want to do?
•Am I determined to make it in this industry?...( because this is an industry where you can hear 1,000 "No's" before you hear 1 "Yes")
•Do I have enough time to dedicate to this craft?
… and if she can answer every question with a definite "yes" then hit the ground running and never look back.
6. Lastly, where can you be found online (Facebook, Instagram & etc)?
