Virgil Abloh for the win!!!!!!!!! 

On Monday morning, the designer was named the new men's artistic director for Louis Vuitton. The move follows the exit of Kim Jones, who announced his departure from the brand in January; last week, Jones was named as the new menswear designer at Dior, replacing Kris Van Assche. 

Abloh is the first African-American menswear designer for the fashion house. He will relocate to Paris for the position, and will continue his work as creative director of Off-White, the streetwear-inflected label that is already popular with Hollywood stars and us regular folks! I was so excited about this news as if I know him personally! LOL 

We'll be saving our money for some new pieces from Virgil, how about you???!?!?!

Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy, passed away yesterday from natural causes, he was 91. Hugh!!!! All I can think of is my childhood in the 80's!! An absolute ICONIC individual. I used to sneak and look at my dad's playboy magazines all the time, and not for the reasons you may think lol. I just thought the women were beautiful! I loved the hair, makeup, the bunny costumes, the "tasteful" spreads, I loved it all! Hugh Hefner was born in Chicago in 1929 and graduated from the university of Illinois. He worked at Esquire before launching Playboy in 1953. At its peak in the 1970's Playboy had more than 7 million readers! In my opinion, to this day, the Playboy brand is still unmatched. What a life, rest in paradise Mr. Hefner!

Check out this beautiful cover of Playboy from October 1971, featuring Darine Stern (November 16, 1947 – February 5, 1994). She was the first African-American woman to be featured by herself on a Playboy cover!
