PREFACE

PREFACE

People of COLORS is a publication that serves as an inspirational outlet for its creator and contributors to inspire individuals through their love of style, fashion and all things beautiful. It is geared to service people who want to embrace their creative side and who are unafraid to express and be who they are at all times. This is NOT a fashion or hair magazine. This is simply a styling guide; an inspirational tool to help you channel your personal style.

a few words from the editor PEACE. This edition, as with every edition, is designed to be jovial and informative. You will notice a few new sections as we are playing around with different looks, concepts and features.

SPOTLIGHT: JOHN

“These shoes are by far our favorite purchase for John…”

Shoes Cole Hann

There were a lot of pieces that we kept in John’s closet and a lot of pieces that we decided to give away. Style evolution is all about understanding what you want to look like & utlizing what you have while purchasing what you do not have to make your look complete.

These shoes are by far our favorite purchase for John and as challenging as they are to wear, he pulled them off like a pro!
