So I was online viewing pics of different collections for 2012 etc and loved what I saw. To see ethnic concepts so strong in high end fashion brings a smile to my face view below.
This is my friend Chalermkhwan Buadam she is a great artist of many mediums. She is from Thailand but live in New England, many of her pieces actually have pieces of gold. Please view and feel free to contact her regarding her work.

If you was not at EMF this year you missed a whole lot. I could go on and on about the celebs you should have seen or the crazy cars etc. I could even talk about the hot clothing items and maybe even talk about all the free stuff people would stand in lines for hours for but I won't do that. That's for lames, I would rather tell you about the great black artists that you may never see again because of corporate sponsors. Yes there is a fine line that us as artists walk and there is no room for compromising, if you would stand in line for any amount of time to get a free sample of whatever you are exactly the type of consumer corporations love to have at events. But unfortunately your not the quality consumer that artists require and in most circumstances should not share the same space when it comes to business. ;) That being said my artistic side of me had to be expressed Essence was fun and educational in every aspect. These are some of the behind the scenes pics of what Samsara did. Straight off the Racks...
Personally I love shoes I have all kinds of shoes and sneakers and have been known to collect and have a pair for more than a decade or 2. I could waste your time showing you all kind of shoes for the summer fall etc and fashion trends but I won't do that. I will only give you what I think would be the classical buy. Meaning a pair of shoes you can wear next year and your family members may steal years to come. I found these 2 sites at very different times DMI found maybe 2yrs ago and Osborn I found in April thanks to Stephanie Longtchi T writer for Fashionjunkii. Both companies pay attention to details and make the shoes in fair trade environments.
