So I posted some covers from Brown magazine way back in 2010. I found a few more so here’s the full spread of them. I absolutely love the colors on this magazine and the poses too. These are a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Ebony Fashion Fair
February 10, 2012 by 16stone
As New York Fashion Week is upon us, I thought this was the perfect subject. I’m not in the mood for going to shows this season. While being broke saving for my wedding, I certainly don’t feel like going to runway shows to stare at expensive clothes I could never afford in million years anyway. Been there, done that…so I’ll continue to look to the past for inspiration.
As a kid, I went to the Ebony Fashion Fair runways shows every year. My mother was an acquaintance of Mr. Johnson and he would give her free tickets to the shows. I remember seeing some of the most beautiful clothes I’ve ever seen in my life. One dress in particular stands out in my memory. It was by a Japanese designer and it was shaped like one of those round paper lanterns. As the model walked down the runway, the lights went down and the dress lit up like a lamp. My 11 year brain almost exploded at the theatrics.
I wanted to be just like the women on the runway. They walked with such confidence. I used to go home after the show every year and practice walking with a book on my head. I can also remember having lots of Fashion Fair make up around the house. I used to make my face up with the pink compacts in the mirror. I haven’t seen the glamour and elegance of the Ebony Fashion Fair matched on any runway of NYFW.

Mrs. Eunice Johnson, producer and director of the Ebony Fashion Fair and secretary-treasurer of Johnson Publishing Company, died of renal failure at her home in Chicago. She was 93. “ Mrs. Johnson elevated the image of Black women being fashion conscious, fashion forward and affluent,” said Kenneth Owen, assistant producer of Ebony Fashion Fair, who was handpicked by the fashion pioneer 26 years ago to work alongside her. Always impeccably dressed and wearing designer fashions herself, everything came back to fashion and education. To date, more than 4,000 shows have been performed in the United States, the Caribbean, London, England, and Kingston, Jamaica. Ebony Fashion Fair has raised more than $55 million for various scholarship groups.
Mrs. Eunice Johnson

Goodbye Etta…
January 21, 2012 by 16stone
1938 – 2012
Funny…about 2 weeks ago I was in my room playing “I’d rather go blind” over and over. I sang along every time for almost a full hour. Something about Etta’s sultry voice could make you feel her pain through the music. It was the blues… it was crying woman. I felt every shred of sorrow she encompassed through her voice. Etta, you will never be forgotten.
Rest… at last.
From Wikipedia: The Life of Etta James
