Then…

The new Fe Noel Collection just dropped and it’s a vibe, as per usual.

Rituals, the Resort ’22 drop by the New York-based brand, celebrates tradition and culture, punctuated by explosive colour, signature prints and texture.

“Within the collection we explore the symbolism of ‘the braid’. Sparked by its elegance, the brand’s newest print (the Ritual Print) was carefully designed in-house. The Braid is a textured-storied pattern rooted deeply in history, shared among the global community, and symbolises the ritual of self-preservation,” explained Noel. This season the Dance Hall Spice Gradient is the statement dress of Fe Noel’s Resort ’22 collection. Fe Noel is a conceptual lifestyle brand helmed by New Yorker Felisha Noel, who has Grenadian roots. 

Meanwhile…

Nobody does it quite like Naomi Campbell!

The British-Jamaican supermodel, who recently revealed her baby girl to the world in Vogue‘s March 2022 issue, flaunted her figure in a series of looks, from Dior’s light-as-a-feather gown to Miu Miu’s most-talked-about miniskirt, for W magazine’s Volume One 2022, The Best Performances Issue.

Campbell, whom the mag described as fashion’s most enduring icon, was shot by Brazilian photographer Rafael Pavarotti and styled by Ib Kamara, with Rock-blooded celebrity hairstylist Jawara Wauchope responsible for her tresses.
