Ciara Signs a deal with modeling agency

 

R&B singer Ciara has signed with modeling agency Wilhelmina and is in talks to launch her own clothing line.

Wilhelmina will now focus on casting Ciara, who’s currently ending a print modeling run for Jay-Z's Rocawear line, in both clothing and fragrance campaigns, according to the singer.

"Modeling has always been one of my aspirations," says Ciara. "But I was
insecure about my height. I thought I was 5'7" but I just found out that I'm 5'8" so I'm really excited about that."

Ciara’s also in talks with the budget-friendly department store, Steve & Barry's, to create a reasonably priced clothing line that bridges her personal style with affordable price points. Steve & Barry's also carries Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten line as well as the New York Knicks' Stephon Marbury's Starbury collection.

"I have a couple of cool things that I'm working on," says Ciara. "The coolest thing about Steve & Barry's is they cater to everyday people. I won't say that my line will be like theirs, I want to stay true to who I am, but most importantly it has to be affordable."

Ciara is also in the midst of prepping her third album, "Fantasy Ride," set for September via Jive. Her last album, 2006's "Evolution," has sold 1.3 million copies to-date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Fab Fashionistas on the Scene

One of my Fav Fab Fashionistas was spotted at the Daytime Emmy Nominee Cocktail Reception recently in Burbank, CA along side Lance Gross. This chick stays fly,fierce and flawless. They certainly make a stylish couple.

Destiny's Child Michelle Williams was seen out in NYC recently at a Fuse event in the city and she is looking quite fabulous these days might I add. She is rocking this off-the-shoulder dress quite well. I'm also loving her new bob cut! Fab indeed! Work it Michelle.

Fabulous Future First Lady

The fashion world is recognizing Michelle "The Closer" Obama, wife of Presidential hopeful Barack Obama as a modern day Jackie Onassis. Many are making this comparison in efforts to express her sense of style and grace. Watch out now---oval office. This is one fierce sister. I'm loving every minute of it. Yes We Can! Here are a few of my favorite photos of Michelle.

Michelle is certainly a Fashionista indeed! Yes She Can!

Prom Dos and Don'ts

When I recently received some pictures of some prom goers in New Jersey, I was highly disappointed. Prom is suppose to be fun and exciting yet glamorous and sophisticated. I think some of these ladies and gents are clearly missing the glamorous sophistication.

Tip #1 - The rule of "Less is More" does not apply in every instance. Nothing is wrong with showing a little skin but make sure it's in all the right places. To play it safe---let's keep the two B's (Boobs and Back) to a minimum. This looks more like nightclub attire more so than prom.

Tip #2 - Be selective in your color choice. Although I am an advocate for color---color,style and body type must work together. The color black can almost provide any dress a touch of sophistication. Remember the operative word here is almost. So when in doubt, stick to a solid. With black you can't go wrong. Some may say it's too boring, blah blah blah but this is where your accessories will definitely express your sense of fashion.
