Chanel Iman ~ First Woman of Colour @ Gucci show since '05

18 year old African American & Korean model appeared in the Gucci show twice yesterday and the first to appear in three years since Tom Ford designed  for Gucci. So its a great accomplishment for a fairly new model, Gucci is a big fashion house. But why does it have to be so few and far between and such a farther goal post for women of colour to appear on the runway. This has been covered by many celebs including Tyra Banks and Diddy. So what do you think about the state of the fashion industry at the moment, regarding booking models of colour?  P.S ~ The Gucci show was AMAZING as always but critics are saying it's more Zara than Gucci.

It's ALWAYS best to focus on the positive's and life is about breaking boundries so lets enjoy....

Here are some simple steps to give your face a natural lift without resorting to surgery:

1. Dehyration: that dreaded word we hear over and over again is one of the most common causes of poor skin health. If you don’t like the taste of water, add some chopped fruit such as lemons, limes and oranges.
