Happy New Month! You know what August means, right? The count down begins to New York Fashion Week! We here at Ladybrille can’t wait as we look forward to brilliant shows, parties, trend spotting, making new friends, reuniting with old ones and of course doing some serious fashion business.No, you do not have to wait till New York Fashion Week to begin partying with us. Celebrity makeup artist Brandy Gomez Duplessis gets the beauty party started in our hot August Blogazine Beauty Issue. Brandy offers some hot, summer makeup tips that will have you looking sexy. She is so good she even has a few tips for our Ladybrille homme [men]! Kenya-American serial entrepreneur Nyakio Kamoche, owner of Nyakio skincare brand, joins our beauty party with the launch of her new fragrance line, Safi Fragrance.

Our partying is taken to an inspirational level with our Ladybrille Woman of the Month, Funke Adenodi Akinbuli. Akinbuli spearheads Exodus Guild, an organization that de-stigmatizes and provides resources for Africans with disabilities.This is so MAJOR and we say a BIG THANK YOU to Funke and her team at Exodus Guild for making a difference in the lives of many. Finally, our August beauty party would be incomplete without our main feature Korto Momolu of Project Runway, Season 5! This young woman adds a whole new level of diversity on the show with the numerous flags she flies. Korto represents Liberia, the continent of Africa, Canada and Plus-size women who have been neglected for too long by mainstream designers. By the way did you know Korto braids hair, African styles mostly, and does makeup? Hmmm . . . we will say no more except that we had fun interviewing Korto and think you’ll enjoy getting to know her. Look for her interview next week. No teasing, we promise . . . Have a happy August, remain blessed and stay with us throughout the month as we stay inspired and party it up with these gorgeous very Ladybrille women.
