Lupita Nyong'o and Her First Cover of Vogue

In little more than a year, Lupita Nyong’o has made the leap from serious student to Oscar-winning actress and head-turning fashion star. Hamish Bowles catches up with Hollywood’s newest golden girl.

Marrakech in May is unseasonably tagine-hot. Hapless tourists are being felled by sunstroke merely from sauntering across the city’s pulsing medina square, which is all but abandoned by the native food and trinket traders, snake-charmers, and storytellers who will throng it in the desert cool of evening.

But in the oasis sanctuary of the Ksar Char-Bagh, all is balmy dolce far niente. A luxe spa hostelry built in imitation of a castle-like fort in the middle of the Palmeraie, it has crenellated towers that hide a private dipping pool and afford views down to a central marbled courtyard modeled on Granada’s Moorish Alhambra, and across the palm groves to the distant Atlas Mountains. Guests are lounging poolside in the shade of an allée of date palms, seemingly oblivious of the Academy Award–winning deity in their midst, who is the focus of the Vogue cover shoot in full fluster around them.

Kenya’s Fashion Design House "KikoRomeo" Goes To Milan


After completing fashion design studies in Rome, followed by years working as a designer in Barcelona, Scottish born Ann McCreath took a three-month break doing aid work in Kenya. Finding it fascinating, she stayed on for 3 years, before deciding to go back to her profession and do trade instead of aid.

So in 1996 With a desire to help create jobs in rural areas and make unique, high quality products for retail Ann launched her own fashion house under the name “KikoRomeo”, which means “Adam’s apple” in Kiswahili.. Hoping Kenyans would take pride in African-inspired contemporary fashion, and promote their economy through buying locally made fashion, she set about making ethically sound products with inputs from community artisans and women’s groups, which she retailed through her own shop. Since then KikoRomeo has continued to offer ready-made garments, cut to international fashion trends, using African made fabrics, often with handcrafted details.

The Osbourne's MAC Collection is Here


Rock mother-and-daughter duo Sharon and Kelly Osbourne teamed up with MAC for a two-part makeup collection that's anything but dark.

If the images of dark eyeliner, pale powder and red lips creep into your mind when you think about any of the Osbourne clan, you might want to reconsider. The women of the rock 'n' roll family, Sharon and daughter Kelly, teamed up with MAC to create a cosmetics collection ($17–$58) that features both sides of the mother-daughter duo. And the result is anything but gothic. In fact, it's very feminine and surprisingly wearable.

Sure, the collection features bold colors—it is still Sharon and Kelly we're talking about—but don't expect any harsh blacks or pale whites in this collection. Instead the Osbournes' new line is full of statement-making hues for lips, eyes and face. In addition, both ladies' tastes shine through in this two-part range, which features different colors and products encased in distinct packaging that represents each woman. (Sharon is red and Kelly is violet, in case you were curious.)


Take a look at the entire two-part collection in the slideshow below and check out maccosmetics.com to get your hands on the products yourself.
