icki Minaj's career has went in spirals, but one thing to remain the same is her ambition to be a mogul with her outrageous outfits and pink cotton candy hair. Nicki Minaj is the last person you'd expect to set her sights on becoming the next music mogul. Big mistake. Minaj tells Allure magazine that she's always wanted her own empire, and she's stopping at nothing to get it from her collaboration with M.A.C. to now her own

Not yet ready for fall this year? Add some green for this fall fashion. And you may ask yourself, why emerald green? Green is provokadive, and makes the the oranges, reds and yellow pop OUT! Green not only goes with fall colors but it can also bring a very fresh look to any outfit from day and night. Add some sexy green strappy shoes to a traditional black and white office look to give your everyday outfit a more modern and yet classic look, for example. Emerald green is an easy fashion statement to pull off, just like the classic red lipstick that can be worn in any occasion. A little touch of green brings your fall fashion together, a great finishing touch.

asual Wear

Blue jeans and a T-shirt have been described as the "casual uniform". With the popularity of spectator sports in the late 20th century, a good deal of athletic gear has influenced casual wear. Clothing worn for manual labor also falls into casual wear. In the European tradition, casual is the dress code that emphasizes comfort and personal expression over presentation and uniformity. It is popular amongst casuals and hipsters. It includes a very wide variety of costume, so it is perhaps better defined by what it is not than what it is.

How To Do The Casual

Comfortable sweathers count to make the day run easy.

Loafers are awesome kickbacks to keep the feet cozy.

Casual wear consist of basic tees, sneakers and low or flat footwear.

Cocktail Wear Cocktail attire is usually described as less formal than formal attire, but not too casual. It typically means a dark suit or slacks and a sport coat for men, and a glittery or sequined dress or nice blouse paired with pencil skirt for women. What is appropriate to wear when an invitation asks for cocktail attire can vary depending on the location and event; the most important element is that the outfit fits the body well and looks sharp.

How To Do The Cocktail Skip the mono black satin blazer and opt for prints.

Be beautiful in peacock colors.

Did you notice that the combination of black, white, red and grey wasn't selected ? Go beyond with your fahion cocktail by embracing more color ch like purple and blue.

"... I have learned to never take life too seriously."

Bio (Fashion Odds) We blasted loud music for the fun of it during the Ralph Lauren urban inspired photoshoot ! What are some ways you keep yourself inspired for an upcoming photoshoot and/or the day of? (Russell Heeter) I stay inspired by making sure I stay stress free. I get the most creative when I am true to myself. I love to listen to music and deep think when I have some free time. I also get inspired by learning about others, their hobbies, their passions then I try to mix them in with my photography and come up with positive and striking atmospheric photographs. (Fashion Odds)Have you had an "Uh-Oh" moment AKA embarrassing moment as a photographer before? (Russell Heeter) Haha. Oh man! One time I showed up to a shoot with all of my lenses, cameras, memory cards but I forgot my camera batteries back at my office which was about 45 minutes away. I couldn't shoot if the camera doesn't turn on! I had a miniheart attack but then decided to stop by the nearest Best-Buy and grab some new camera batteries. (Fashinon Odds) For every editorial you photographed for this first issue, we noticed that you wore pastel shorts. Therefore, how do you generally dress when photographing? Does your style reflect your photography style too, you think? (Russell Heeter) haha! I just went shopping before these shoots and I decided to rock my new shorts... I try to keep my dress somewhere between "professionally casual" if that makes any sense. With the wide variety of commercial, fashion, and wedding projects I do, I am not too sure if my style reflects, but I do know that I have learned to never take life too seriously.

Macy's Passport Presents

Fashion in a New light

Held at the State Theater of Minneapolis, MN on August 2, 2013, this heartfelt + fashion +entertainment event went to benefit the Children’s Cancer Research Fund. It featured performance by Sheryl Crow, Cirque du Soleil and The Summer Set in variety of sophisticated lighting technology. We set opened for fashion & entertainment that brought the best light. Tommy Hilfiger’s 2013 fall collection, the first fashion segment to call attention to, showcased classy and preppy wear. Classic fall menswear such as structured men’s blazers and above the ankle pants were a hit on the stage. It also showed the perfect back-to-school-outfits for the ladies with some girly flare. For example, paired with the mini skirt were knee high socks and finished off black patent heels.

Tommy Hilfiger

Fall into Chic: knee high socks + shorts +coat + turtle neck

In far contrast, the Maison Jules collection was compatible for everyday wear. Maison Jules is Macy’s new Parisian street-style fashion line that utilizes classic pieces with modern twist designed to cultivate an inherently personal approach to style. This collection appeared whimsical and breezy likewise to the fall wind that breezes carelessly through chiffon blouses. It's a softer alternative to Tommy's Hilfiger's collection that used more rigid peices.

In addition to the fashion, The Summer Set illuminated a blast of energy -a form of new light- to the crowd. Their performance to "Boomerang" sure enticed few people to jump out of their seat and dance. We got a closer talk to them and here's whaty they shared: (Fashion Odds) How does everyone motivate each other right before going on stage? (SS) We all love Drake. We listen to him before going on stage. We’re actually more comfortable on stage than being off staged. (Fahion Odds) How do you feel about tonight’s performance? (SS) We’re happy to do it for a great opportunity. (Fashion Odds) How do you want the audience to feel tonight? (SS) We want everybody to get excited. It’s fabulous! There was more room to light the night and we could all probably agree that the nine-time Grammy Award winning artist, Sheryl Crow, was the performer we were waiting for. She sang to “If it Makes You Happy” first as it was an appropriate to begin to connect to the general audience. To end her performance, she elevated the room’s energy by exhaling full breath on the harmonica and gave her last big breath that high rocketed to the ceiling. Sheryl Crow, you were an excellent choice to end the fashion show. The event ended with an extravagant after-party at Macy’s Downtown Minneapolis. The party was not only set indoor but outdoor with large food booth stand dedicated to variety of Asian cuisine such as vegetarian dumplings. People mingled as they nibbled, danced on the floor, strike poses at the photobooth and had the option to have a fashion fortune teller to predict the persona of a fashionista.

What did you want to bring to the Minneapolis fashion, entertainment and art community? (Timmery Tuner) We were originally going to stop in Detroit, but I got a tip that Minneapolis had a great art scene and I was dying to check it out for myself and adding a little Sugar and L.A. culture to it.

Bio

Mad Style Rapper Chevyboy

Chevyboy

Chevyboy is a Sin City red bucket full of unmixed paint aggressively and carelessly thrown onto the yellow brick surface that Dorothy was told was safe to follow. It may be unsafe to walk through the paint depending on your idea of whats “unsafe”. As far as style, I always aim away from where it’s said best to aim. I dig mostly into my heart if I’m writing about love, and in my stress and need for extreme excitement for style in rap music. My background is no guidance. No role model. My family is Cape Verde. I’m the fifth generation in American, born in Boston, raised in North Minneapolis MN 30TH and 4TH to be exact. I was constantly told as a kid literally to,”get you some bidness”(yes spelled and said like that) or go outside and use your imagination. I still obey those rules.

Fashion Odds Top Model Interview We caught up with native Minnesota model , she tells us her how she became to be the one and only Ms. Briggs. ( Fashion Odds ) Tell us a little about yourself. Where are you from? I.e. background

Phoenix Briggs

(Phoenix Briggs) I am from Saint Paul MN that's where I was born . I am actually a mix of races. I am African American, Italian, Irish, English, American Indian and German. I like to embrace all my races and I don't ever say I am just one thing. At age 12 I moved to Las Vegas when I graduated 8 grade. More or less it was an awkward place to grow up as a teenager ....that will change you as a person for sure, I have some fun stories though. ( Fashion Odds ) What made you first become a model? (Phoenix Briggs) I decided to be a model at age 16. But my mom would not let me model until I was 18 and on my own. I actually really wanted to be an actress more. I always loved old school movies like Little Women and Interview with a Vampire. I always wanted to be like Kirsten Dunst and Winona Ryder. I loved those type of 16th /17th Century movies as a little girl. Although I think I am finally growing into an actress. Modeling has sort of brought that out of me. Growing up people told me to act and model.... I guess I am kind of late in the game at almost 30. But I figure I have the talent and it is my form of art and how I express myself that's what makes me unique. I can transform myself into different people and realities . ( Fashion Odds ) How did you feel when you did your first ever fashion show or photo shoot? (Phoenix Briggs) My first ever real shoot was a catalog Fan page: shoot for Cowgirl/Cowboy up. It was really crazy to get a big job right off the bat. I was kind of nervous but it went https://www.facebook.com/PhoenixStarDIVA great! My first fashion show was with Redken and Goldwell they cut a mullet on me...not the most flattering hairstyle for me I must say. fashionodds.com â&#x20AC;˘ August 10, edition #01

More Odd Romain Dupas

Tell us a little about Romain Dupas such as your educational background and hobiies with dance/choreograph/artistic direction/fashion Stylist? My name is Romain Antonini and I am from Paris, France. I started dance when I was 11 in the suburb of Paris as a teenager activity outside school. After a year I was more addicted to dance but I couldn't commit further because my parents wanted me to not flake on school for dancing. After high school graduation, I immediately knew that I wanted to be my own boss and that dance was my determined career. A year later my biggest project dance project was to have my own dance studio with different teachers and different dance styles, so I created Cocktail Ethnic Dance Studio at 19. I knew it was very risky for my age to do it but I felt like I could bring something different we didn't have in the French dance industry. But then I realized I wanted to do more than teaching. I really wanted to perform everyday on stage and choreograph for artists and show my vision to a big amount of people through TV and big stage performances. That vision led me to travel from the USA, UK, Spain, Belgium to teach dance there and also to be inspired from other country dance industries.

"My credits include : Kelly Rowland, David Guetta, Uffie, M Pokora, Shy'm, Christophe Willem, X Factor, Amel Bent, The Voice, NRJ Music Awards, Fun Radio Starfloor, Eurovision, Leave it on the floor (movie), Stars des années 80 (movie)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGiD OVfKNTk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zdq ymnZoHc

Finally, I moved to Los Angeles for 3 years to be in the American dance industry which is the one that made me want to have this career. I've always loved to watch performances of Janet Jackson, Usher, Beyoncé, Missy Elliott, Britney Spears, Ciara these artists made me realized that I wasn’t not only inspired by dancing and choreographing but also in helping other performer artists to develop themselves in every visual aspects (dan ce/choreography/staging/props/lights/screen/photoshoot /videoshoot). As a result, I got more into showing my skills as an artistic director. I moved back to Paris when I was 24 and spent the past 2 years working fulltime with my different passions at the same level which is incredible. I've been dancing on tour for a top French male artist and styled artists for different projects (e.g. TV shows, album covers and concert).
