Eric Lebon is a French street wear designer, his clothes are influenced by hip-hop with a chic traditional twist. That's exactly what it is and I love it.
Here's a glimpse of Lebon's Fall/Winter 08-09 Collection

Channeling Richard Avedon
For my metro riders, I know you have seen the amazing posters of Malcolm X in some thick 60's-like black glasses, a little out of focus. Well if not, I definitely have...especially at the Smithsonian stop. The posters are advertising photographer Richard Avedon's new exhibit.
From October 18th through January 25th the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC has an exhibit of some of Avedon's most memorable portraits entitled Richard Avedon's: Portraits of Power.
"
Richard Avedon, America’s pre-eminent portraitist and fashion photographer, portrayed significant figures of the American political landscape throughout his career. This exhibition brings together Avedon’s work on the subjects of politics and power for the first time. Juxtaposing more than 200 images of government, media, business, and labor officials with photographs of artists, activists, and ordinary citizens caught up in national debates, Richard Avedon: Portraits of Power explores a five-decade photographic inquiry by one of our finest artists."
Here are a few of Avedon's photo's:
I strongly urge those visiting or living in the DC area with a interest in viewing great photography to check out the Avedon Exhibit. Tickets are $14 for adults and $10 for students. Covet and I will definitely be there very soon. ;D
Kings of Leon...I like these guys
I've never heard this band before until recently, but supposedly they just released there fourth album! Being the music guru that I am (not really), I feel ashamed that I let them fall through the cracks; especially since they are really good. I came across them on Itunes and I just was drawn to the lead singer's voice and the guitar riffs.

Living on the a street named after a Great Oak
Marveling at the floral fuzzy wallpaper circa 1976 of burnt orange and yellow surrounding me
Gee, in the midst of all of this remodeling, I hope she never changes these walls
I like it; gives the place some character, opposed to this egg shell shit being plastered everywhere
Ha, I even remember when this wall behind me had a cliff and beach mural.
As a kid, I was always amazed by it
But that too over time became the victim of the remodeling bug
My grandparents had to be cool as shit man. Come on, who else would have fuzzy wallpaper and a gigantic mural on their walls?
I'm closing my eyes right now, imagining them with afros and bellbottoms walking these halls
Man, I just love that era
It's just something about the birth of eccentricism and individuality that's really alluring
I would have definitely been a hippie.
Driving a big rusty blue Chevy, headband around my fro, half button polyester shirt, smoking white boys, and listening to Hendrix.(chuckle) Can't you see it?
But yea, this house has so much history, so many memories
I was raised here, but even crazier...my mom was raised here.
Wow, that puts things in perspective
Peas raised in the same pod.
I'll give her that one, just this one time though.
But don't tell anybody.

Black is in Style, but then again it always has been
Black Models in Prada
I like that black male models are getting more recognition in the high fashion industry.
When my TV is on, its on Bravo

Here's what Jerrell would have shown if he had made it to Fashion Week.
Love Jerrel, but I'm kind of happy that he got kicked off. I don't know how I feel about this collection.
Love Lockdown Video
Love the white.
Yea I know...on Ellen? Yea he's different, but always in a good way.
Shhhee Back!
Beyonce's new album I am... will be released November 11th. I can't wait. Her first two singles have already been release. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), her more up-tempo track, reminds me of Get Me Bodied alot, it growing on me though. I just knew that she was going to make Beautiful Nightmare her first single, I'm kind of happy that she didn't though...it leaked months ago. The single, If I Were A Boy is beautiful. At first I thought it was going to be like Ciara's Like A Boy and I would have been pissed. Its a really different sound for her and the video is deep and surprising at the end.
Both videos are going to be released today via Mtv, BET, and Viacom...so watch out for those.
In the new Essense, Mrs. Carter finally talks about her and Jay!
He's my new facebook friend. lol
