Our story The collection was inspired by fashion designer Naomi son’s tag line when he rap or sung, his mission statement on the Noneillah.com Entertainment website and the conversation he shared with his mother. The mother and son team had a special unique bound that made them become one soul. These two visionary are very talent, creative, diverse, realist, artistic, poetic, down to earth, carbon copy of one another and free spirit people. Naomi said she wanted the Noneillah collection to feel invited to the eyes, and appealing to the custom looks plus comfortable to the body but modern enough to be wearable by today's elegant woman."
At this point in her career, Naomi needs to choose a team who is devote/loyal to her mission to help raise awareness through the Noneillah collection and stick with it--I say the Nonneillah collection has a diverse look that is a mixture of sporty, sexy, inspiring and classy all the way.
Her strength is making asymmetric shape with its original looks, unique print designs and semi sportswear that's caught the younger audience from teen to fifty probably un-wearable by most older population in their sixty, but covetable by editorial standards. And with a clear talent for accessory design with handmade jewelry by Naomi that may grow as business in the accessories market while maintaining an extravagant runway presentation, also she experimented with her design artistry abstract bold prints or incorporating other fabric colorful prints to plain fabrics without prints.
The Noneillah collection by music artist Sean Cos Mason has been showcased in various venues from New York Fashion Week, Wonder Fashion by well know New Jersey veteran host of fashion shows and fashion designer Tyrone Chablis. Tyrone Chablis loves the Noneillah Collection and Naomi mission behind her musical talented son’s collection to raise awareness through fashion about her son’s untimely, injustice, cruelty, and inhuman demise cause by reckless Coach USA bus driver Wilson Romaine who was operating NJ Transit bus 709 when Johnson was murder. Romaine approach Mr. Johnson with the bus where he stood knocked him down running over his head than dragging him 50 to 100 feet to his last breath. Tyrone was touch and moved about Naomi painful injustice cause by the driver, bus company and prosecutor office he started including the Noneillah collection in some of the community fashion show to open up the people eyes to the increasing death rate caused by some of these reckless bus drivers who is literally getting away with murder and how nothing is being done about these tragedies. Also, how the reckless bus drivers are not being held accountable for these countless deaths, which is spiraling out of control.
Being saying all that, Tyrone included the Noneillah collection in Orange New Jersey Pre-Mother’s Day Fashion Show for the senior citizen, Newark Tech a Night of Egypt Fashion Show, Campus 9 High School in East Orange New Jersey and East Orange City Hall Sidewalk Catwalk Fashion Show. Naomi also put together a Legacy College Charity Fundraiser Scholarship fashion show on March 26, 2015, for her son’s Deshon Johnson College Scholarship Foundation to raise awareness about her son’s injustice demise and two other Montclair residents who were also killed by reckless bus drivers. So, Naomi reached out to I Stylist Modeling Agency Mrs. Allison and Model/Talented Agency (EVDG) Everyday Girl reached out to her to be a part of the raising awareness about her son’s through the Noneillah collection fashion move-
ment. Everyday Girl Model/Talented Agency Mr. Brown was taken back about her son’s story and he fell in love with the Noneillah fashion, that he interviewed Naomi about her son’s injustice untimely demise and the Noneillah collection by her musical talented son Sean Cos Mason aka Deshon Johnson for his magazine. Not only did he interview fashion designer Naomi who included her son’s Noneillah collection, Mr. Brown asked her to be a part of his photo shoot for the Everyday Girl Magazine next issue. Naomi appeared on several media outlets to raise awareness, to talk about her son’s injustice demise, to raise awareness, his music and to talk about the Noneillah collection/fashion. They were Splash radio with radio personality Jeff Foxx, Joan online Christian radio News 12, Fios News and other newspapers. Channel 4 news also requested to interview her. The fashion designer has been requested from other local designers, fashion show promoters to showcase and help raise awareness through the fashion with a cause and for a cause movement. The Noneillah name and musical prints brings about memories of CEO of Noneillah, hip hop artist, music artist, singer, rap artist (rhythm and poetry), song writer, digital designer, artist, college graduate and most important the only child/son of fashion designer Naomi Johnson. The Noneillah collection is becoming a brand beyond Sean Cos Mason music. Noneillah is where Sean Cos Mason music and his fashion meets to raise awareness for change about this creative talented young man life tragically end and his injustice case win for justice. Also, where his legacy through his music and fashion began to soar that will continue to impact the world of people heart that will touch the core of their soul with his story.

Plus Size Winter Wardrobe Essentials by: Charlotte Bleasdale
As the cold winter days are well and truly upon us, it’s time to make sure you’ve got everything you need in your wardrobe for even the coldest of days. From the trusty knits to the cosy winter coat, there are key items that you need to survive the winter in styles this year as well as those essential boots that will see you through the season. But choosing your winter essentials can be quite a difficult task, especially if you’re working on a budget and don’t like the idea of spending too much on items that you’ll only wear during the coldest of months. So here are this season’s must have pieces of clothing that any plus size woman needs in her wardrobe to not only be comfortable and warm but to also stay looking stylish too. Chunky cable knits These cozy and comfortable cable knits have become popular this winter and it’s no wonder why. Chunky knitted cardigans will keep you warm all day long and as there are so many different styles you’ll find a cable knit to match all outfits including jumpers, cardigans and jumper dresses.
(Above) Long Length Cardigan
Long length cardigans So easy to wear, long cardigans are not only stylish they’re also so practical and warm. Many long length cardigans come in chunky knits that are perfect for keeping cozy, while there are plenty of lightweight knitted cardigans too ideal for throwing on over a top for a layer look with jeans and can be easily taken through to spring and summer too. Jumper dresses The perfect alternative to trousers and a knitted jumper, a jumper dress is a stylish option if you love your knits and is especially perfect if you need to take your outfit from day to night in cold weather. Wear with tights, jeans or leggings and a pair of calf boots for a stylish winter look.

Tights If you prefer to wear dresses and skirts then a few pairs of tights are essential to your winter wardrobe. Chunky knitted tights in black or grey will be so versatile, easy to wear and warm, while also being in-fashion this winter. Add a splash of colour and brighten up a dull day with a pair brightly coloured tights for a contrasting look. Duffle coats The perfect winter coat, duffle coats are warm and cozy, and will keep you feeling wrapped up this winter. Most duffle coats also come with a large hood, which is vital in the cold months, while you’ll find a choice of different lengths in duffle coats so choose a mid-length one that will match with most your outfits. Calf boots If there’s one pair of shoes you buy this winter make it a pair of calf boots you won’t find a more versatile pair that will also work for spring too. Go for black, brown or grey, they’ll go with pretty much anything, and a small heel is best, it’ll work for all casual and more dressy occasions while still being practical and comfortable.

Francine Alston
My Name is Francine Alston. I am 28 years old. I was born in Brooklyn, New York moved to York, Pa at a young age. I am a Full-Time Toddler Teacher, Part-Time Herbalife Health Coach, Model and Mother of 1 beautiful Princess! A few of my interests include helping with community events, fitness, visual arts, culinary arts, singing and playing sports. I enjoy motivating and inspiring others. I want to touch people with my art.
I am Jen Lo Assassin, Plus model, actress, writer, singer, entrepreneur and much more! I am originally from Kinston, NC. I came to Atlanta, GA January 2014 to pursue my dreams and aspirations. I have successfully done 2 plays, been an extra in 4 movies, run way modeling and print magazine in just shy of 2 years I've been here. Most of everything taking place just this year! I am the owner of JA's Wigsations. I make custom Hair Hats for my clients! I must say the journey hasn't been easy. I tried to come to Atlanta in 2013 to do what I'm doing now. I spent a week in Atlanta trying to move here. On my way back home, I had a terrible car accident that left both my ankles broken and my right hip! My face was slashed from going through the windshield! I was devastated. My 1st thoughts were, how am I going to model now. How will I even walk in heels now? I was told that I probably wouldn't walk in heels again and that it'd maybe take me a year to walk period right after my accident happened. I was determined not to believe that. At age 28, being confined to a wheelchair was not ideal. I worked hard every week in rehab to get back on my feet. I was able to finally get out my chair and hop on a walker after 2 months and was sent home! I was given a release from my Dr. in Nov. 2013 and the only thing in my mind was Atlanta. I had to get back and try again! And I did Jan. 11, 2014! Swollen ankles, cane and all. It was a lot of tears and hurt and pain that year right up until this summer 2015! In the last few months God has shown me so much favor through my perseverance! I did my first fashion show, in 3 movies, 1st real major play, debut in a magazine with radio interviews and more! I will
tell anybody, life may knock you down but you got to get back up and fight! It's what my Second Chance page is about! I want people to see that, even though I almost lost my life, it was almost, I didn't lose it! I am still here and God has kept His promises of restoration! What I lost due to my accident is nothing compared to everything I have gained. I came to Atlanta with nothing, just my dreams, a few dollars and my things in a car with no place to stay. I am in my own space now, no car but that hasn't stopped a thing. People need to see that if you truly want something, nothing in this world can stop you but you! Not even scars, a limp or wobble. You don't fail until you stop trying!!! Jen Lo Assassin is the name I chose because I am Assassinating life and everything in it with God leading me! That's my goal, to help those who may have gotten off track because life thru some rocks in the road. To give encouragement that they can still fulfill their dreams! Leading by example!
I have been a Plus Size model for over 2 years's I have worked with Annette Jimenezin and her magazine Plus Size Divas as one of her plus size model, I have also worked with Moulon Modeling-Marketing, I have also done several runway shows
I was born in San Mateo, California to the parents of Mary Frances Hollins (deceased) and Richard Lee Washington. I currently reside in San Jose, California. My mother raised myself, my twin sister J’myya and my older sister Chantel. We didn’t have lots of money. My mom had a home on the eastside of San Jose while I was growing up and I remember it burnt down. After that, my mother had a house in South San Jose she tried to raise us right. However, while I was growing up they discovered that I had a learning disability. I never knew until a few years ago what all they meant, but it was about perceiving things in a different way as well as reading comprehension. I never tried to let my disability stop me, but it has hindered me in many ways, but I still haven’t let it try to hinder me much. I have graduated high school; I have also graduated from two colleges. I have a Degree in Information Systems and a Degree in Technical Management. Even with all education, that hasn’t landed me any form of permanent work which has caused additional disabilities. My additional disabilities; I suffer from anxiety and situational depression. Finally, I have a permanent leg injury which has caused a permanent disability to where I will never be able to walk in a high heal shoe. However, I love to still model. Who really needs a high heal shoe when you are 6ft 2 inches tall. Many fashion shows require high heal shoes, a shoe should never be a requirement for a fashion piece. But many designers don’t tolerate that. They make it a requirement I feel people should be able to model and be able to feel comfortable with what you are wearing not uncomfortable because of a shoe. I have been modeling since 2006. I started modeling in the store Fashion Bug just for fun. After that, I got a photographer, and stuff went from there. I have written my own reality script called Lovin Large. I have also been in online contest through KMEL for big bbw modeling which stands for big beautiful woman and I made it to the top 50 with the picture in the white dress. I have been in two magazines. Where I didn’t get paid, but I got to speak about my testimony, with job losses, weight loss, exercise, abusive relations, and miscarriages and challenges I have had to overcome. The reason why I like to model and take pictures is because it is fun. It gives me something to do and I enjoy every moment. I may not be perfect at it, but I love it.
Inexpensive Ways to Update Your Wardrobe by: Charlotte Bleasdale
Most women love to go shopping and to keep up with the latest trends. There’s nothing like the thrill of splashing the cash or receiving a compliment on your new purchase! But times are tight and shopping is not a cheap hobby. Of course there is no reason you can’t still buy the things you really love or need. But if you’re trying to cut down on the spending habit, there are ways that you can still get your fix without spending a fortune. And you’ll also find you can stay in style at the same time. Accessories Once upon a time, buying accessories was an expensive business, and your finishing touches could end up costing more than your clothes. Whilst there are still places where you can spend a lot of money if you want to, you can now pick up bits and pieces at really affordable prices so you can still have the enjoyment of buying something new. If you want to transform an outfit think big and bold, a large brooch, chunky necklace or some funky tights can really give a new look to an existing outfit. Charity and Vintage Shops If you’re the kind of person who thinks they’d never be seen dead in a charity shop think again! They’ve come a long way and can offer some real style finds. Plus you can assuage your conscience because you’re doing good whilst shopping! Try shops in city centers or anywhere where there is a community of students or fashionable young things to get the best clothes. Charity shops get new items in all the time so pop in on a regular basis to make sure no-one beats you to the bargains! Vintage shops are basically second hand shops where the owner has already handpicked everything in there so you’ll get a much wider choice of trendy pieces. You will pay more for this privilege but the prices are still cheaper than the high street and you can come across some really unique pieces. Layer Layering is a great way to present old clothes in a new light. You can shop for basics like vests and tees really inexpensively then mix them in with your wardrobe. Try wearing a dress over a long sleeve top, adding a bright cami under a plain black top or leggings under a skirt. You’ll soon find lots of ways to reinvigorate your clothing collection. Adding a new colour accent is really effective, or try adding a new pattern or texture, such as stripes or lace. Get DIY If you’re the creative type, put your skills to good use by working with what you’ve got! You don’t have to be an expert with a sewing machine to take up the hem on a skirt or to cut the sleeves off a T-shirt. Rather than buying that beautifully embellished cardigan, why not buy a basic cardi then stitch some beads and gems on yourself? You could even use old necklaces or bracelets to get the beads so that you don’t end up spending lots in craft shops either.
