PHOTOPHrENIA;- BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL..!!!!

Posted by mickung
In my next life, I will like to be a photographer or come out as a dark-skinned girl. Like extremely DARK!!
When I was younger, it felt good to call any misbehaving friend who is dark-skinned, ”Blackie”. Now I see pictures of black girls, I just wanna grab a chair... run outside and sit under the sun for hours.
*sighs*
Don’t get me wrong. . . I am not extremely light-skinned, but I really wanna be so dark like these girls.
THEY ARE SO FIERCE! 







EVEN WITH THE TRIBAL MARK. *SWOONS*






FIERCE!!!


I am No photography expert. . . but is it possible that their skin colour was enhanced through photo editing.???
*scratches head*
Oh well. . .

Toodles,
Fashion phoenix

All images apart from the first one was shot by Nigerian fashion photographer,Lakin ogunbanwo.

PHOTOPHrENIA - AWESOME PEOPLE.

Posted by mickung
Everyday, I wonder how talented people feel! 
I mean, when you know you are good at what you do... Do you wake up with a smile on your face? Probably, you wake up and say, "Fuck yea.. I am the best"? 
I REALLY WANNA KNOW!
Talent takes one, places you never thought you'd be and I wish that one day, I shall be called Talented. :)
I gathered pictures of awesome talented people who are/were the best at their various creative careers, mingling and having fun with each other.













KARL LAGERFELD AND GRACE CODDINGTON. 1974




SOPHIA LOREN AND JANE MANSFIELD.
LOL @ THE SIDE EYE!

One day, a picture will be taken of me, sitting front row, cracking a joke with Anna wintour or Julia sarr jamois or having lunch with Bryan Boy and smiling hard as he comments on my new chanel purse.
Be good at what you do...

IN OTHER FASHION NEWS,Amber Rose was papped during London Fashion week,wearing this outfit.




P.S.- am i the only one who thinks there is something wrong with this look..??
i mean,i think amber rose was going for the fierce,yet feminine look with this BodyAMR dress,from their spring/summer collection,but seemed to miss it. the fit is wrong,the shoes are so off and dont get me started on the boob and upper torso region.

Whatchu think.??
HAWT OR NOUGHT..??

PHOTOPHrENIA - ERYKAH BADU FOR TOM FORD.

Posted by mickung


This Picture is an Ad Campaign for Tom Ford's perfume,"WHITE PATCHIOULLI" dated circa 2008.
Erykah Badu looks amazing in it. i love the black and white theme,so simple and doesnt take focus from the Perfume,itself.
I think she was tryna be the modern day Diana Ross,with the signature 'Fro.
I love it.
let me know your thoughts.


P.S.-
I just wanna say thank y'all for reading this blog and lovely comments in the last post. you,all inspire me. i want to be a fashion stylist,but the fashion industry in my country is quite tight and really hard to break into. this Blog is the closest thing i have to share my Thought on fashion to the whole world.
sometimes,when i try really hard and end up being disappointed and frustrated,i know y'all are here to read my every post. dont forget to also post your blog link,so i can show your blog,some love.
LOVE Y'ALL FASHION PHOENIXES. *now singing* ♫walk,walk,fashion babies.. walk walk,fashion phoenixes♫
-Today is my country's Independence day.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY,NIGERIA.

PHOTO-PHRENIA-DAPHNE GUINNESS FOR NARS.

Posted by mickung
So i pondered and figured i should add another segment to this blog. i named it "Photo-phRenia". cheeky yeah..?? no..?? ok..!!
its gonna be about photographs,both new and old,photoshoot,ad campaigns,models etc.

 

When i saw this picture,i wondered who this porcelain face belonged to.. i was shocked when i found out that it belonged to 43 year-old Daphne Guinness.
Apparently its an Ad campaign for a purple eyeshadow named after her by Francois nars.

FLAWLESSLY CHIC..!!
