It was an all-black party during Ooche Wear’s presentation at Detroit Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer season. Filled with LBDs (both little black dresses & long black dresses) jumping the collection off with a satin sweat suit.

SANRIO x DOC MARTENS

July 24, 2010

Some would say that Hello Kitty has been “around the way” within the last decade or so. I, as a loyal & long-time Sanrio fiend, have stuck by her side. The Sanrio x Dr. Martens collab gets someone like me going giddy. Hello Kitty celebrates Doc Martens 50th anniversary with a limited edition shoe collection, consisting of five designs, Mary-Jane style & the classic 1460 8-eyelet boot. This exclusive collection is said to hit Nordstrom early August in limited quantities. So keep up, I know I am.

BRAVOBRAVO! The Tastes, Sights and Sounds of Detroit

This year, BravoBravo! takes on a fashion theme, showcasing an artistic industry that has long lived under the radar in Detroit. Experience Haute Couture with a Detroit edge as it moves off the runway and inside the corridors of the opulent Detroit Opera House. This year’s event also features a fashion design competition, coordinated by Ohm Creative Group. The competition, which runs during the weeks prior to the event, will allow designers from the local area to submit their designs to www.bravobravo.org. The designer with the most votes will be featured during BravoBravo! as well as win two tickets to BravoBravo and a feature article in 994 Magazine.

“….It’s bigger, hotter, and it’s coming to Detroit. Question is, are you? From the Biggest names in the business to defiant fashion-capital designs, lush cuisine to luminous parties, this is fashion fête at its fiercest. It’s our 11th celebration and the as per usual, we’ve outdone ourselves. With names like Jerrid Mooney, Jen Knapp, and Rich Rice on the list, we don’t really have to explain, you get the picture. With more than 40 of Detroit’s trendiest restaurants and bars, and the hottest music and beats surrounding the event, attendees get to experience a cocktail explosion for their senses. But don’t just take our word for it, come experience it for yourself”

DAILY GRIND: KAT OSLO

Kat Lemos, owner of Thai & Sushi bar, OSLO, is in RARE ass form here. Don’t let the mini dress fool you, she’s tough. She’s quick to put a fool in check, & in her past time she happens to shoot guns.. The following photo shoot was a MUST, considering that Kat is actually not in a T & jeans.

Hopie Spitshard ft. Donwill – “Trunk (The Remixes)”

Wordemup. Femme rapper, Hopie Spitshard a.k.a. The Diamond Dame hails from the same land as I. With that, I instantly related. This track has Bay Area written all over it: the slaps, her Del-esque flow, the sauciness. I’m with it. It really takes me home.. Yadida.
