Tracee Ellis Ross for JC Penney holiday capsule collection
By Emily Earlie
T
he exuberant Tracee Ellis Ross is a woman of many layers. Not only did she burst onto the scene as a top Paris runway model in the early 1990’s alongside supers Naomi, Linda and Christy, she’s also received notable acclaim on television previously starring as Joan Clayton on ‘Girlfriends’ and now as “Rainbow” or “Bow”, on the ABC sitcom ‘Black-ish’. No matter the role, the divine Ms. Ross always brings her “A” game, versatile style and inherited sense of fashion (oh, did I forget to mention that her mom is none other than musical royalty Diana Ross)? Now, through a limited edition collaboration with JC Penney, Tracee Ellis Ross is merging both fashion and her artistry to create TER4JCP (Tracee Ellis Ross for JC Penney). Tracee is a true style maverick when it comes to fashion and shows consumers how her collection can be dressed either up or
down. For example, she pairs a hot pink sequined cap sleeved T-shirt dress, with comfortable white sneakers one moment then white stiletto heels the next topped with her big beautiful curly mane. Fans will get to see a lot of Tracee’s off beat/funky yet functional style shine through in this line sized from small to 3X. Staple pieces like the Heaven Tux and the Ladies Button Down are sure to be fan favorites. The black two-piece Heaven Tux is a chic pants suit that is perfect for the holiday season. She also wants to close the gap in ladies button down shirts (and I do mean GAP literally) by offering a shirt style that attractively fits a variety of woman yet models individuality. Find the Tracee Ellis Ross collection at JC Penney.com and in store beginning November 12. Now that’s on fleek! On Fleek Digital 7

arc Jacobs’ fall/ winter 2017 ready-to-wear collection garnered quite a bit of attention when it presented at New York Fashion Week earlier this year. That’s because many of the designs are inspired by retro-street styles of classic rappers like L.L. Cool J, Curtis Blow and girl group Salt-N-Pepa except this time with a twist. Jacobs defines the fashion collection as a “hip hop evolution” since the product lineup transforms sporty street styles into fashionable day wear by mixing and matching a variety of retro textures and fabrics like woolens, corduroys, plaids and knits. While Marc Jacobs’ products are readily available for purchase here in the states, now members of vip.com in China are also able to buy his exclusive designs. As of October 17, Marc Jacobs joined a bevy of exclusive designers that have opened a single authorized online flagship store in China making the brand available to 300 million international members of the luxury portal VIPLUX through On Fleek Digital 23

Kerry Washington WOMAN ON FLEEK
W
By Susan Van Brackle
ife, mother, producer and actress Kerry Washington is truly a woman on fleek. When she’s not flying coast-to-coast to walk the red carpet accepting awards and nominations for her role as ultimate fixer Olivia Pope on the hit television drama ‘Scandal’, she lends her personality and voice to popular PIXAR animated films. Don’t be so surprised. It goes to show the depth of talent that the divine Ms. W. has. Most recently the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences™ nominated Ms. Washington in the craft category for her voice over performance as cartoon character Natalie Certain, statistical analyst, in the feature film ‘Cars 3’ where she played opposite actor and comedian Owen Wilson. The Annual Voice Arts ® Awards Gala, which has been coined the “Academy Awards” of the voice over profession, was held November 5 at Lincoln Center’s Fredrick P. Rose Hall in New York City and honors the very best talent in the voiceover industry. While Kerry’s list of IMDB acting credits is virtually a mile long beginning with her first ABC After school television special in which she first appeared in 1994, it turns out that ‘Cars 3’ is not Ms. Washington’s first rodeo the world of voice over roles.
In 2010, she performed as Princess Shuri in Marvel Comics ‘Black Panther’ animated series. Coincidentally, it just so happens that the animated series ‘Black Panther’ is due to roll out in theaters as a highly anticipated feature film in February 2018 starring blockbuster superstars Angela Bassett, Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordan. But I digress. As many readers may know, season 7 of “Scandal” is the final one where gladiator Olivia Pope will don the white hat on Thursday nights. After five years of playing this highly charged character developed by creator Shonda Rhimes, Ms. Washington shared her sentiments this past October about transitioning from the series on “Good Morning America”. “I feel like it’s sort of like people asking me what it’s like to break up with a boyfriend that I’m still in love with. “I don’t know what that’s going to be like.” Fans like myself are already feeling the sense of loss (aka withdrawals) and are wondering what’s next for this magical woman on fleek? The short answer is: whatever she wants after a lifetime of honing her craft on the large and small screens. I look forward to seeing yet another layer in Kerry Washington’s vast arsenal. Perhaps a comedy? Let’s all stay tuned.
