020 A new decade. A new beginning. Our time. 2020 vision. Time to make our mark. This is our decade. All were said January 1st 2020. We all came in with either a clear vision of what we wanted this decade to be, what we wanted to achieve, our hopes, our fears, our plans, our ambitions, our goals; as I write this I’m still in tears not due to the happiness of a new year, but because my childhood hero, the first basketball player I knew by name( even before Micheal Jordan) died in a tragic helicopter crash along with his daughter and 7 other beautiful people. Kobe Bryants death really hit hard, and I ask myself why? And the truth is because I loved everything he was and stood for which was that you needed to work hard for the things you love whether its basketball or anything in life, his ability to transcend basketball and touch lives, and just his pure greatness on the court. He will be missed and prayers out for his family and the families of the other victims in this tragic event. 2020 isn’t looking like a promising year as we all thought it was from Iran and Trump (not America just him) go at it on the verge of WWIII, the Coronavirus 8
WINTER 2020
Letter from the editor
outbreak in China killing 110+ people and infecting 6000+, Kobes death, and the Chiefs and 49ers making the Super Bowl….. stuff just out of whack. But we must press on we must maintain that Mamba Mentality for the next decade for Kobe, for the society, and more importantly for yourselves. Winter 2020 issue is finally here!!!! Im super excited for y’all to read and look through this issue its been two months and counting since the last issue, but nonetheless its finally here. This issue was unintentionally a women issue because the Creatives we highlight are all talented and hard working women. We love to see it. One of those women is Naomi Merlain, one of my newest personal heroes, who is a creative Director who directed and modeled the cover shoot and recently a short film entitled The Genesis Project, which dives into what it means to be a woman through scripture. Hope you enjoy this issue and the rest of 2020!!!

67th street Madison Avenue by laura richmand
T
o many New Yorkers, the Upper East Side is purely upper echelon, $20 coffee shops, Madison Avenue, and a location for the annual MET Gala. Now as true as that statement may be, it’s not as pure with those things as most were raised to believe. rowing up in Brooklyn and Queens, not many of us ever believed the UES was a place that we could go, simply because it was mainly filled with judgmental white folk who would stare and follow if we were to ever walk into their stores (as no one would ever believe we could afford anything there). However, being raised by my dad, he took me all over New York. He showed me wealth, poverty and everything in between, as New York is all of those things combined. As I got older and began to travel around the city more on my own, I found the Upper East Side to be my quiet place amongst the madness of the city. Pretty much every other part of the Manhattan is busy with

tourists, bright lights and loud music, but the east side between 60th and 80th street is more residential. So naturally, it’s not as busy. Although there are many a museum uptown, they’re all very similar, with the exception of some exhibits they show. The most popular ones may be the Anna Wintour Exhibit at the MET, and the MOMA. Aside from those, standard museums have a very big European influence and are heavily based on the history of white folk; very middle school textbook art. I’d feel like I was constantly seeing the same style, and nothing more. However, one day I was strolling down Madison Avenue on my day off and stumbled upon a gallery that reminded me why the art form itself is the purest thing we have. he Opera Gallery is located on 67th street & Madison Avenue in Manhattan, just a block east of the Central Park Zoo. The name is nowhere near as fitting as the content in the gallery; it simply doesn’t do it justice. Only three stories, each floor embraces a different genre of art, and all in the most

abstract way. All utilizing movement, sculpture, depth of field and societal influence, the gallery has an unintentional cohesiveness to it that truly encapsulates the soul. There wasn’t one piece in there that didn’t make me stop and say wow. Everything was also just really cool. [See the pictures laid out on the next couple of pages.] The story behind a lot of these pieces and the artists is also very cool. My favorite pieces were the Retrato I, the Quasar Black, and the Artlovers piece. The Retrato I is made by Manolo Valdes, a Spanish artist originating from Valencia, Spain. Published in 2018 as a mixed media piece, this portrait of an unknown woman is made of a broken mirror, cloth, construction wood board, and broken plate glass. The entire piece is sustainable. Valdes gets a lot of inspiration from 19th century French artist Matisse. Valdés’ unique pieces pay tribute, in some way, to the Spanish conquistadors of the 19th century. The Retrato I is one piece a part of an entire Retrato collection. The Quasar Black is constructed by Paula and Christian
Rivas-Wloch. Rivas-Wloch is an art duo from Buenos Aires, Argentina who have been creating together since 2004. Many of their pieces are inspired by physics, with Velasquez les Meniñez as an honorable mention. The Quasar, published in 2019, is composed of nylon, reflective acrylic and spheres of black onix, all held up by string on a kinetic device. The composition isn’t even the most interesting part of the piece. It is motion activated, so when one walks by the reflective acrylic and spheres move in a vertical line at the same pace, via the kinetic device. It’s as soothing as watching waves crash on the shore over and over. “Moving art” is a cool concept mainly because it’s not something you see everyday as it requires a lengthy understanding of physics. For some artists that’s not something they put much thought towards, unless that’s their specialty. In Rivas-Wloch’s case, they’ve been making physics-related pieces for years. Now I may not care to know too much about physics, or any form of science for that matter, but what I do know is when I get $10,000 I will most definitely be purchasing a motion activated art piece! astly, my personal favorite of the three: Artlovers by
L
Tigran. This piece is made by Armenian artist, Tigran Tsitoghdzyan (also just known as Tigran) published in 2018. The piece speaks to how social media has changed the way people experience art, specifically in museums, showing a large crowd all capturing the legendary Mona Lisa portrait. However, in Tigran’s painting, the Mona Lisa’s face is removed from the portrait, and spread throughout the phone screens of the visitors in the painting. I think the details in how different parts of the Mona Lisa’s face are being particularly spread through everyone’s phone is my favorite part of this piece. As well as the faces of the “selfie girls” being scratched out. “Artlovers” is my favorite piece that I’ve seen in a long time. It’s bold, and it brings awareness to the power of social media and the advancement of technology changing what used to be a present and authentic moment for many artlovers—no pun intended. Taking a portrait as famous as the Mona Lisa to be the representation for the art scene and adding a very filter-like feel to it speaks very well to the way in which life imitates art in every way. I thoroughly enjoyed my unplanned visit to this gallery. Of all places for me to stumble upon in the Upper East Side, 15
although I would have never expected to find a place like this on this side of town, I’m glad I did. I hope this article opened up some eyes the same way writing it has opened mine. What’s the saying? Right. Never judge a book by its cover, and don’t block your blessings on the basis of comfort or lack thereof. Overall,I left feeling inspired.

Fashion Week 2020: The Game is Changing by laura richmand
W
elcome back! I hope everyone had a long and fabulous winter break, but we’re back and we’re better. As many of you know, our favorite season is approaching...with an unfortunate temperature drop. With fashion week just a couple of weeks away, there’s been a lot of hot conversation surrounding the participants and non-participants for this season. There have been major shifts in the industry over the past decade, and that only continues in 2020. This season is a first for a couple of the brands that are not participating. Those of which include Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang, Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger. With the cancellation of Victoria Secret’s Angels Show this past September, and now brand veterans missing from this season’s line-up, one can only think how is this going to change the fashion week we’ve always known. There hasn’t been much to say about the brands that won’t be participating over the past couple of months. Tommy’s groundbreaking show with Zendaya last 38
season might mean they are just gearing up for something much bigger and better this fall. “A Tommy Hilfiger spokeswoman said the company would be releasing its show location in the new year,” reported a journalist from Women’s Wear Daily. However, time is ticking and there’s still been no update on Hilfiger’s participation in the line-up which has already been released. As for Ralph Lauren, a spokesman for the corporation says the company hasn’t released its plans yet for 2020. This only leads me to believe they don’t have many (not for the first half anyway), as 2020 is already in motion and there’s still no updates from them either. Paris is starting off the season on January 20th, and I’m afraid that if by then we don’t hear anything, we’ll have to wait another seven months. peculation of Wang’s (Alexander, thank god Vera isn’t tired of us yet) lack in participation is more positive than negative. Vogue journalist Steff Yotka describes it as him “one-upping himself” as his last show at Rockefeller Center was beyond

with the industry. Calvin Klein stepping back from runway leaves a spot open for someone else, and with the progressive changes and the awareness being brought to what’s needed in the industry, making room for that in fashion week is essential to continuous change. Wang taking a break from rushing through another collection, and actually taking the time to pay homage to the brand he built shows patience and true passion for what you love. This is something a lot of artists struggle to remember— the core of why we do what we do. This is your reminder to be patient and give 110% to your passion, always. There’s room for all of us. We just have to claim our seat at the table. It feels good to be back.

igor won a grammy...i guess by Asha Alaji-Sharif
E
very year music artists and fans alike look forward to the Grammys— the star-studded award show that is supposed to be the pinnacle of music. The big winner of the night was Billie Eilish who walked away with five wins among the major categories. While I am happy that a young female artist dominated the night, I am still very disappointed with the award show overall. From the lack of diversity amongst the nominees in each of the categories, the categories themselves, the voting process and the members who vote. This award show is not representative of music today and those that listen music. We are entering a renaissance especially with Black artists. They’re experimenting and blending genres to create new, unique sounds and shoving them all into the rap category just won’t cut it. This isn’t anything new— for years Black artists have been absent from the major and pop categories or robbed of a Gram52
my. In 2014 Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, m.A.A.d city lost to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Or in 2017 when Drake’s Hotline Bling won Best Rap Song despite being a pop single. This year when Tyler the Creator got nominated for a Grammy I was overjoyed that he was recognized (finally) for his out of this world talent and artistry. IGOR was nominated for Best Rap Album and won the category. Tyler the Creator was of course grateful but stated that his album being classified as rap is a “backhanded compliment”. As an artist that “genre-bends” he finds it frustrating that Black artists are always placed in a sole category. With the crossover style that a lot of Black artists have been exploring and excelling in you would expect to see much more diversity among award show categories. You would expect to see more diversity in the rap category itself. With this years outbreak of new rappers, including female rappers, who dominated
the charts the nominees were underwhelming and a bit disappointing. Who is there to blame but the committees that vote on these songs, albums and artists? he Grammy process begins when artists submit their music and no, they do not submit to categories. Once music is submitted there are screening committees that organize the submissions among the 84 categories. Those categories are then put into groupings and members are assigned to groupings which they then vote on to create the nominations. Once the nominations are set, members vote on the final ballot and thus the Grammy winner is chosen. There are several things wrong with this process and its the reason we continue to see the same patterns. he first is that artists cannot submit to categories themselves which is why Black artists never seem to get nominated for any of the major categories. If artists could submit to categories themselves we would see much more diversity among both the major and genre specific categories. The second major problem is the groupings are these categories. The largest grouping has all of the “urban”, international and basically anything that isn’t pop music. It has 17 genres while the others

T
average 6 genres/categories. The grouping including pop music is also the only grouping that doesn’t have a committee that reviews the members ballots; each of the others do. Now, who are the members that vote on these ballots? No one knows for certain but they are all professionals in the music industry. While the Grammy’s claim the voters are a diverse set of people it is apparent the there is a lot of discrimination and politics involved. The CEO of the Recording Academy herself, Deborah Dugan, filed a complaint on discrimination that was a lengthy 44 pages. Doubts about the voting process of the Grammys and whether or not they can be considered fair and representative is still an ongoing debate. This year Tyler the Creator really created a new catalyst for this discussion which will hopefully lead to changes for next year’s Grammys.

hat we wear is an outward expression of the person we are whether we think so or not. We choose what we want to wear, so who we are wearing is very important especially in todays time. This Winter Lookbook was put together by myself and styled by myself but was made possible by the designers I chose for this lookbook. These extraordinary designers are still in the early stages of their long design careers but are still making waves from the jump. KG of Kaloz is a current sophomore Fashion Design major at Howard University, she first made her big splash when she had her first collection in the Howard Homecoming Fashion Show as a freshman. From that point on I knew KG was going to be a force to be reckoned with. Over the year I’ve got to become good friends with her and got to really know her; her personality truly is embodied in her collections its fun, functional and pretty to look at. Her out of the box designs and colorful aesthetics embraces her fun and outgoing personality. All her pieces are one of one but she has something in stored for you all so stay on the look out for some Kaloz!! 72
KENZELL of Things of That Nature specializes in custom bags made from jeans. I myself have a bag I punched from him which is one of my favorite pieces in my closet. His craftsmanship is A1 and he really takes his time and has a good eye for detail with is shown through his many handcrafted pieces. Kenzell is someone I always admired from a afar but in recent years got to befriend him and hang out with him. His Bags are a must have they will be a valuable and rare archive piece so hit him up for the custom now!! TAHIR MURRY, the urban legend, the man, Mr. Traditions himself is a young genius who is changing the way we see collegiate wear. His brand Legacy. History.Pride. is the first of its kind it is a BLACK Luxury collegiate clothing line. He was instrumental in the grand transition from his Fathers brand Traditions ever since to his brand Legacy.History.Pride. His hoodies, shirts, and jackets cover HBCUs and the Devine 9 and are always limited so you must get them while they last because they will not come back. We must continue to support because me must change

the mindset of what it means to be black in this country. KALEB MCLAURIN an artist and co creator of Disciples Clothing has been someone I’ve watched since freshman year just because he always kept to himself, rode his bike through campus, and was just an amazing artist. So when he put out this collection and it was in the Roots Howard Fashion show I was amazed. He combined his art with fashion and that really did it for me. The chest rig and detachable denim jeans are my favorite pieces from his recent collection. Cant wait to see what he will do next. NATALIE O. The beautiful model of this shoot but also the creator of Fashiona is a low-key but highly talented designer.
Fashiona is a one-stop online boutique that caters to all of your fashion needs. Simple statement pieces and accessories that can be paired together easily to make eye-catching outfits.Her brand is so diversified at this point i dont know what she cant do because she can do it all. Cant wait for her next collection to drop!! ISAIAH SMITH the designer and creator of Bryan Lewin is nothing short of greatness. Every piece I got to wear or see was just jaw dropping. This guys attention to detail is something serious. He also is very diverse with his pieces from dresses to leather jackets he is truly one of the best designers I know personally. excited for the next drop!!

LAST LOOK:MAMBA MENTALITY by JOielle lee
S
unday, January 26, 2020, was a sad day for the NBA Community, Los Angeles Community, and for basketball fans worldwide. Social media and News outlets flooded as word that Kobe Bryant and 8 others, including his 13-year-old daughter, were killed in a tragic Helicopter crash in Calabasas, Ca on the way to his travel team’s away game. Just two weeks prior to the incident, a meme went viral of the dynamic duo, Kobe Bryant and Gianna (Gigi) Bryant sharing jokes and their love of the game of basketball. Kobe openly admitted, that he didn’t even watch basketball until his daughter started to gain interest. Her love for the Game motivated him to learn more and do more for women’s basketball. After His 2016 retirement, the five-time NBA champion began to coach Gianna’s middle basketball team. He reported in 2018 that the team of 12-year-old girls was doing exceptionally well and said that Gigi was becoming a beast. Kobe was devoted to Gianna’s growth, and to the rest of his daughters too. A Father first, and a Legend second. obe and Gianna’s death left the world stunned. It was hard to conceptualize for everyone. My heart was heavy as I woke up and scrolled through memoir videos of the Legendary Basketball Player’s winning shot, contagious smile, and love for his family and friends.
K
74
Something about the incident felt unreal. It was a reminder that you should always take time, even if it’s brief, to share your love with those who are important to you. Those are life values that Kobe lived by. In an interview he discussed how important family was to him, and how he invested in the very helicopter that took him and his daughter’s life as a plan to make sure he was present for his children just as much as he was for basketball. He knew that a booked schedule wasn’t an excuse to miss important moments, and he wanted to make sure that his kids knew how irrefutable his love for them was. Not only was Kobe an excellent father and role model for his kids, but for children worldwide.

remember growing up and watching Kobe hit three after three, unstoppable in the field. His game was something to be reverenced. I used to ball up papers in class, and practice hitting buzzer beaters screaming “Kobe,” as they rimed the trash can. His game was legendary, and not because Kobe was naturally the best but because of his passion for the game and drive to be excellent, something he attributed to his “Mamba mentality.” When Kobe was originally drafted, he was a 13th round pick and he didn’t

start, but that never held him back. He studied and practiced becoming one of the best NBA to have lived. Growing up as an athlete, my coaches always discussed the importance of being teachable. Kobe cherished feedback and he used the negativity to drive his growth. I always admired his go getter attitude. In fact, for the last four years of my basketball career, I only hooped in his shoes as a reminder to keep a Mamba mentality on and off the court.
leave his life on the court. Compilation videos were created of all of his best moments, and most inspiring pep talks. Cities were lit in gold and purple in his honor. However, I don’t think that there are enough colors and lights and tributes to heal the hurt that we all feel. The pain is unmeasurable, and the world just won’t be the same without him. My heart goes out to his wife, Vanessa Bryant and other 3 daughters he left behind, as well as, the friends and family of the other 7 people killed on the helicopter: baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife, Keri, and eople all over the world are their basketball-playing daughMourning the loss of Kobe ter Alyssa; mother and daughter Bryant and Gianna Bryant.
