I AM A DREAMER

My Birthday is today....... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

I am a dreamer, I dream a lot and most of my dreams come true because along with dreaming I take action, so for the next 364 days I will be working hard toward one of my biggest and most consistent dreams which is to design and develop a successful clothing brand. I know that in writing my dreams down, sending it out to the universe, working hard and being consistent... my dreams will manifest. I tell people constantly that you have to get up, get out and do something, anything, big or small that will lead you to your ultimate dream because every step leads you somewhere the key is to start stepping! Now my dream is not just about designing and developing my clothing brand. I also want a brick and mortar and online store, along with having the brand selling successfully in other stores,  Ive been a hairstylist for 23 years and its a labor of love BUT its labor.... I want all my love and passion to translate into a profitable business that will work for me while I am asleep, so heres to taking the first STEP (writing it down and sharing it with you) I will update my progress along the way and if you have any questions, comments or advice as always send me an email folliclesandfashion@gmail.com or send me a message on instagram @folliclesandfashion

Until next time Xx

FASHION spotlight.....

                          EDWARD ENNINFUL

I have been obsessed with fashion for as long as my memory serves me, I read fashion magazines from cover to cover, (yes I love the feel of a paper in my hands) and even though fashion is a notoriously undiversified industry for one that is supposed to cater to a diverse clientele.. I love it! and like so many of us fashion loving brown girls who read and absorb the information and images off those pages we take the knowledge and apply it to "us" in the way that suits 'us'. So imagine the  complete joy in my heart, knowing that someone whose career I have followed for years has been appointed to Editor in Chief of one of the most influential woman's fashion magazine British Vogue

Edward Enninful was introduced to fashion at the age of 16 by stylist Simon Foxton who worked for cult magazines i-D and Arena and scounted non-agency models. Edward became a model and later Simons assistant while modeling, two years later the founder of i-D magazine Terry Jones appointed him the youngest EVER fashion editor of an international magazine.. 

Edward was 18 and since then he has held prestigious positions at both Italian Vogue (contributing editor) and American Vogue as a (freelance stylist) Edward has also been the creative and style director at W magazine since 2011. soooooooo....... Why is this a huge deal! Edward Enninful is the first Non-White and Male to hold this position since the magazine was founded in 1916 he is also the first Black editor of any of the editions 22 globally!!!!! and almost all the design heads of major brands are white as are their chief executives, so the fact that a BLACK man will be in such a visible position is a major step.

I couldn't be more proud.. and not just because Edward is breaking boundaries but because he DESERVES it! such a beautiful spirit (from the stories I hear) and such an amazing talent and image maker, and It warms my heart to know that he is close friends with Naomi Campbell

Edward we will be praying for your continued success please keep up with Edward on IG and snapchat: edward_enninful
