What a thrill to get an intimate view into the stylish Ty-Ron Mayes’ “Fabulous, Fashionable Court.” A true trailblazer, Ty-Ron is a celebrity stylist. In our interview, he talks about Rick Genest (Zombie Boy), America’s Next Top Model, Harlem Fashion Week, his forthcoming book, and more. Super Model Maria Borges graces our cover this issue with her stunning, natural beauty; cover styled by Ty-Ron Mayes and photographed by Ken Gray. Sheryl Aronson of Arting Around interviews Music icons Freda Payne and Tito Jackson and his B.B. King’s Blues Band. And a special treat this issue is an interview with Lea Thompson, who candidly discusses her role as an actress and producer. In Fashion Talk (my editor’s commentary), the article “Your Style Is a Personal Choice” was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld and Coco Chanel. Beauty editor Shahada Karim opens discussion on melanin inhibitors versus skin bleaching; and K-Beauty’s Cushion foundations are expanding to deeper tones.
Meet Ash Gupta’s Face of the Month Mariam Zol, interviewed by Caitlin Gibbs. Check out her editorial, photographed by Christian Duarte and Tuhan Bedi by 838 Media Group. Photographer Glenn Gordon shoots Tyler Bilbo for this imaginative fashion spread, titled “Lone Star Fashion,” shot on location at College Station, TX. Celebrity stylist Ty-Ron Mayes dazzles us with four stunning editorials that feature Christian Siriano and model Thayná Santos; America’s Next Top Model Cycle 20 Phil Sullivan; actress/model Kelly LaBrock; and super model Maria Borges.
This issue’s runway reaches beyond fashion borders with international designers from New Zealand, Madrid, Berlin, New York, and Paris to include Roberto Verino, Malne, Antonia Goy Defile, Kristina Fidelskaya, Edmund Hillary, and THE UNSTOPPABLE YOU with Norma Hauri. Desigual brings a splash of color to the runway and an equally vibrant Backstage Beauty spread. Closing this issue are timeless designs from Fashion Archives, highlighting past collections from Spring 2012, and hailing from New York with designers Diane Von Furstenberg, Anna Sui, Chado Ralph Rucci, and Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B., all photographed by Arun Nevader.
