Letter from the Editor

"FRIGID INTENT" 68 Samdarko Eltosam

elcome to our 3yr Anniversary Issue. We are excited, I am excited, to be able to put out publications, 3 years after our initial start. I've seen startup publications come and go, some just didn't have what it takes to produce quality work that would stand up to the competition. But we were up for the challenge, and we stepped up to the plate, and presented the world with grade A editorials, interesting interviews, and diverse content from all walks of life from all around the globe. I would like to take the time out to thank every contributor who submitted to us over the year and everyone on their team that helped bring their vision to life, from Photographers to Wardrobe Stylist, Creative Directors, Makeup Artist, Hair Stylist, & Assistants. It's a beautiful feeling receiving emails from all around the world stating that it is a dream to be accepted inside one of our issues and that our platform is loved and followed daily for inspiration and motivation. This sort of support really pushes us to be the best at what we do. Thanks for being apart of what we have established. Enjoy the issue. Thank you. -Editor

I absolutely love music and I grew up in a studio so music is in my blood in addition to that I have a degree in communications with a minor in marketing so knowing how to hustle is nothing new. I have aspirations of following female leaders like Oprah in building an Empire but instead of news being my anchor I chose music, well really it chose me. Theo Hanson -Tell us about “Hustle In Brooklyn”. AZIA -Hustle in Brooklyn is a reality show on BET and it

was very interesting to film lots of characters, personality lol and drama. For me I really wanted to show a vulnerable side of what I do and who I am, simultaneously while showing the world not only am I talented I’m a hustler! My team is me and my Dad, other people help me here and there but the core of what we do is either me or my dad. Theo Hanson -How did you become one of the stars of the

show? AZIA -Truthfully they found me on Instagram and the rest was history.

Theo Hanson -Many of us may know of you from your “Hustle” with your music and your other creative ventures. In the show; do we get to witness the grind? AZIA -Yes! Most definitely! You get to see me shoot music videos that I directed, photoshoots where it’s my vision, design costumes for Labor Day! And then there is so much you don’t get to see. Like for example I have a makeup line launching in the spring. I’m working on a hair line called Goddess Roots. I also have a new album coming out in March! I’m the definition of a hustler lol. Theo Hanson -We know that every artist gets their inspiration from someone or somewhere. Who are your role models, or influencers as an artist, where do you draw your inspiration from when it's time to be creative? AZIA -As an artist I draw inspiration from the world and real life situations but my music role models are the og’s I absolutely love Sade, Oprah, Diddy, Diana Ross, Daft Punk, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Lil Kim ummm those are pretty much my immediate go too vets.

OKWUÍS

FROCENTRIC A Fashion Line That Empowers Domestic Violence Survivors Launched in London in 2017, Okwuís_ Frocentric is a philanthropy fashion venture capital that empowers grass root domestic violence survivors in Africa through sales and involvement in its production chain

esigner and Founder, Dr Chichi Menakaya, a Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon explains that the work showcases pieces that not only empower but, advocates for human rights.

Domestic violence numbers continue to rise significantly leading on to increased poverty and inability of survivors to rebuild their lives. Our work and designs are inspired by the struggle to put an end to this grave crime. Dr Chichi designs the outfits but, then through the association’s “ Foster A Woman Campaign - Financial Empowerment Scheme”, she works with survivors alongside small businesses in Africa to tailor the outfits. The profits of this label in turn helps fund our business empowerment scheme (Foster-A-Woman) in Africa aimed at ensuring financial freedom. Dr Chichi started designing as a child while watching her mother Mrs Ann Okwuchukwu Menakaya (Late), a lawyer recreate outfits made for her by top designers. In her eyes, her mother was eponymous to fashion, women empowerment and equity.

7HUES FEBRUARY 2019

The pieces are usually created with fusion of different African fabrics “Ankara” to show the affluence, uniqueness and rich African culture by integrating this with global values. It sends a message that we all have the power to create bigger impact by working together. The vibrancy of “Ankara” means we can colour our lives and reach the world by spreading love. Our pieces are flattering adding to anyone’s stride and guides paths towards greatness and rebuilding. Our production teams are either benefactors of our “ Foster A Woman” campaign or local female and male owned businesses in Nigeria, West Africa who align with our values to empower others. All our fabrics are locally sourced in Africa from local sellers and only the most luxurious and original fabrics are chosen thereby adding to the economy and watching small businesses grow.

JULI A

MARIE CHEW INTERVIEW WITH YINSEY WANG

very single time that Julia Marie Chew sends me one of her pieces, I am just awestruck and honoured at the opportunity - without fail, I find myself feeling incredibly lucky. It is not everyday one gets to be transformed into a swan, peacock or a golden phoenix of sorts. Chew, with her ‘designer hat’ on, goes by the name Xiaolin Design, a tour de force of a brand which boasts collaborations with the likes of powerhouse photographers including Bella Kotak, Lillian Liu and Zhang Jingna (each known for their particular brand of magic and ethereal elegance behind the lens). One of the things that constantly intrigues me is how adaptable Chew’s pieces are. Although a key signature of her work comprises of feathers, Chew also uses other materials in composing her incredibly eye-catching and fairytale-inspired designs. This time however, I thought to play around with her latest avian-esque loans to me - a full-bodied feather-clad mermaid dress, gilded in magnificent gold and an alluring floor-length cape of ostrich plumage. What a privilege it was to shoot these with different photographers, Jevgenija, Adam Bird, Ella Sadika and Rhiannon Laite, and being mesmerised by their diverse styles and ability to capture the pieces showcasing their unique visions. In essence, the images showcase the versatility of the looks, imagery and atmosphere that can be brought out of Chew’s work.

YW -Tell us what motivates you to create! JMC -I love creating gowns that you would only dream

of wearing in a fairytale or fantasy movie. Stepping into a dream gown can transport you to another world, elevate your mood, and inspire confidence. It really changes your perspective on life and I love adding a touch of beauty and imagination into this often dreary world. YW -Are you ever surprised about the results of a photo shoot for you have contributed pieces? JMC - I am lucky to be able to work with people from so many diverse backgrounds. I love seeing each photographer put their unique twist on the theme of a shoot. I am often surprised by the incredible locations they find, and the styling of the shoot. Even if I get behind the scenes photos, often the final result blows me away. It's so exciting to be a part of another creative's vision. YW -You recently got married in Italy and designed your own dress. Tell us a bit more about the process and the experience! JMC -I've always dreamed of designing my own wedding gown. Even when I was a little girl, I would draw pictures of what I wanted my wedding dress to look like. I always had a long train and a crown and of course a prince to match! My friends expected me to go way over the top with my gown, but I wanted something simple and elegant. I picked a classic A-line silhouette, but my special touch was to appliqué the fabric with hundreds of delicate chiffon flowers. The flowers trickled down from the skirt like wisteria blossoms and twisted vines wrapped around the bodice. My husband and I eloped to Lake Como, Italy, where we exchanged our vows on the Lover's Bridge in Nesso. It was truly a magical experience! YW -What is it about your pieces that make them so versatile? JMC -All of my designs achieve a balance between being theatrical and classic. I carefully design my dresses so that they are still figure flattering after I add the feathers. I choose crisp, elegant silhouettes and bold, solid colors, such as black and red. The dresses can be worn alone and still make a statement or be embellished with jewellery and accessories. I try not to over-design or over-work a dress so that the client can still add her own finishing touches.
