INTRODUCING: DEREK BLANKS

http://www.dblanks.com/

Derek Blanks is a renowned celebrity photographer who has established a name for himself by creating a series of "alter ego" shoots.  He takes the perception of a person and recreates that visually in his shoots.  Derek hails from Mississippi but resides in Atlanta, US.  I'm a huge fan of Dereks work, they look stunning.  Alter Ego looks extremely fun to do, i'm just imagining my alter ego, what would yours be?

A combination between special-chosen garments embellished with extra amazing details make their collections stand out and become one of the top-choice wear by celebrities nowadays.

I was first introduced to these two designers while watching "Make Me A Supermodel US".  There clothes are AMAZING.  They have clients from Britney Spears, Rihanna, Debbie Harry, Fergie, Katy Perry and many more.  I would just be such a happy woman if I had one of there encrusted corsets.  You just look like a godess in them.

Introducing designer/rapper "Bwoywonder" who owns clothing line Lyrics 4 Lyrics.  Bwoywonder has developed a name for himself, specifically for designing his range of oversized lego jewellery pieces.  With celebrities rocking his designs both in the UK and the US. From music producer and artsit Pharell Williams, grime artist Bashy, singer Cherri V, singer Ginuwine, rapper Kid Rock, hip hop icon Russell Simmons plus many more. 

LYRICS 4 LYRICS Is the UK's newest up and coming clothing line that carries a simple but effective message not just for youths or those in the music industry, but for every person who adorns the garments!

Rather then everyday disputes, beefs and spats turning into something physical, lets TALK it over...Rather then world leaders declaring WAR on each other, why dont they NEGOTIATE... And rather then fellow MC's, Rappers, Artists tryna take their differences to the streets, why dont they go at it... LYRICS 4 LYRICS!

The brand offers clean, crisp innovative designs as well as good, strong quality materials which means the garments last and wash longer without wear-n-tear!

LYRICS 4 LYRICS is now a registered and recognised clothing brand in amongst todays growing urbanwear culture.(SOURCE)

Having met Bwoywonder myself I can tell you his jewellery pieces are off the hook.  Definitely for the person who wants to a) pay homeage to the 80s b) wants to stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.  Check out Bwoywonder below, along with pics of his work.
