Dare To Wear Love Gala

March 15, 2013.Reading time 1 minute.

The DARE TO WEAR LOVE GALA is a fashion runway event like no other, the highlight of both the Dare to Wear Love campaign and Toronto Fashion Week. Event founders Chris Tyrell and Jim Searle of Toronto-based Hoax Couture invite 25 top Canadian fashion designers to participate. Each is given six yards of African fabric from which to produce a one-of-a-kind ensemble, and the resulting creations are modelled at the gala by supermodels, dancers, musicians, and other celebrities, as well as winners of the Dare to Wear Love Challenge. The Gala raises funds to support The Stephen Lewis Foundation in its fight to turn the tide of AIDS in Africa. This year’s event will take place on March 22, 2013.

The First Lady Michelle Obama For Vogue Magazine April 2013

March 15, 2013.Reading time 1 minute.

These photos were leaked a couple of hours ago.. the First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue magazine [April 2013]. I think everyone can agree that the fashionable First Lady looks stunning! The 49-year-old sports her new bangs on the cover while showing off a blue and purple sheath by one of her fave designers, Reed Krakoff. The sensible and stylish First Lady wore a dress right out of her very own closet at the White House — how cool is that?

The First Lady never misses an opportunity to flaunt her toned arms, and her second Vogue cover is no exception! Shot by Annie Leibovitz, the First Lady also shows off a Michael Kors ball skirt and sweater. The First Lady’s style is definitely something that sets her apart from your average First Lady — and she isn’t afraid to talk fashion! “If you’re comfortable in your clothes it’s easy to connect with people and make them feel comfortable as well,” she tells the mag. It looks like bare shoulders definitely define comfort for the fashionable First Lady!

We just can’t wait to see the full spread. See the sneak peek below!
