Today, fashion photography is art?s rising star, drawing large crowds to exhibitions (which produce much-needed revenue from sponsorships, rentals and even merchandise) and enticing more collectors. Even the fashion industry itself is showing more respect for the form. We wanted to show Fashion beauty in this issue! So enjoy, see you next season! -Tempestt Harris,Maresa Scott

BYSHARON MILLER WHATWOULDJESUSWEAR?

He held up a high-waisted, navy and white striped A-line skirt. ?This would look really cute on you. You should try it on!? Ike suggested. I pursed my lips in skepticism. It was short?probably too short for church, and too nice to wear when I?m watching the kids. It didn?t seem practical. ?When would I ever wear something like that?? I asked. ?Um? .on a date? With me?? Ike said. I had to laugh. I was coming off 9 months of pregnancy, a season when comfort always wins and looking tiny and cute is out of the question. Skirts like the one in front of me had not been on my radar for quite some time. But that season had ended, and looking nice for Ike is one way I love on him, so I was grateful for the reminder. I thought back on that exchange after a friend e-mailed me with a question about fashion. She was looking for a Christian perspective on clothing and materialism, and she had questions like, how much money is okay to spend on clothes? Or, when there are so many people starving in the world, how can we justify spending money on clothes we don?t need? And is it wrong for me to want to look cute? Those are great questions. We live in an image-obsessed culture, so I don?t think you can be a human woman and not struggle with wanting to look good, especially in comparison with other women. Add to that pressure the overabundance of clothing in our nation. Never have clothes been so cheap and so? many. American stores sell far more clothing than we can consume. So, should we all just wear American-made denim jumpers and call it a day? I don?t think so. One person who has helped me think through this is my friend Laura Turner, who wrote a post on this topic for a "Her.Meneutics" Article several years ago. One line especially stuck out to me, which was this: ?Regardless of your fashion history or background, we can all benefit from remembering that what we wear can hel p us t o move cl oser t o God and cl oser t o ot hers.? 6

Rasheeda’s Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Season 3 Premiere Party
$75 distressed acid wash denim overalls.

I started “I’mBossy” in 2011 and it was an accessory site. You know I’m one of those women who felt like accessories could always top an outfit off. I always over buy all the time when it comes to accessories so it grew from accessories to apparel to sunglasses to hats and I’ve even expanded to makeup at this point. I will also have shoes that will be up as of today which is a great thing. It’s just something I love, I love fashion I love funky accessories than can top an outfit off and make you feel even sexier. It’s just something that I really wanted to do and I talked about it for a long time before I even started the site but I was finally like let’s stop being crazy and stop talking about it and really be about it. I finally got it started and it’s successful. -Rasheeda

Rasheeda and husband Kirk showed up to the premiere party, and Rasheeda kept it quite cute in $75 distressed acid wash denim overalls, a Hermès Collier de Chien bracelet, and a $1,842 Saint Laurent Cassandre Tassel Medium Shoulder Bag.
