Did someone say Black Girl Magic? Five HBCU fashion students had the opportunity to present their designs during New York Fashion Week and it was an event to remember. Birthed in 2019, Footaction’s No 1 Way design program partnered with Function Apparel and Accessories Studio (FAAS) and PENSOLE in late August of last year on a mission to uplift recent graduates and current students at historically Black colleges and universities. No 1 Way serves to champion the next generation to continue evolving their self-expressive style and proving to themselves there is “No 1 Way” to pursue their passion.
The five finalists — Chakierrah Stinson (Tuskegee University), Brianna Thomas (Dillard University), Lenora Gray (Clark Atlanta University), Sharonda Richardson (Clark Atlanta University), and Nachae Davis (Clark Atlanta University) — had a once in a lifetime chance to be mentored by FAAS founder, Angela Medlin. They traveled to the company’s headquarters in Portland, Oregon, to participate in a three-week masterclass that focused on bringing their creative designs to life in the most functional and fashionable way. The best part? Receiving firsthand knowledge on the industry from Medlin — who has an extensive resume — herself.
R29Unbothered had the opportunity to interview Medlin and the five contestants about their journey throughout this competition and what to expect from them next. We know for sure that this opportunity will continue to be a great one for Black and brown designers looking to break into the industry.
Angela Medlin
What was the inspiration behind creating FAAS and the process?
Angela Medlin: This inspiration started several years ago. I’ve been 30 years into the industry working for NIKE, Adidas, Levi Strauss and Co., The North Face, and Eddie Bauer, and this has been percolating for three decades. I can be a director for Nike and continue to create amazing products, but I’m better served giving other people the opportunity to change the future of what the industry looks like. As a director for designers who are starting to show us what can be done through sustainability, innovation, and technology using digital development instead of producing several protos, it’s more important that I show them how to do that and be their mentor that I didn’t have. I tell the students that my 30 years in the industry was training for what I’m doing now.
How important was it to you as a Black woman to make sure that other Black women would get an opportunity to learn from you?
AM: It was the priority because most of my 30 years in the industry I was the only person of color on my design team, and it wasn’t until I was at a level where I could make hiring decisions that I could bring in more people of color who were talented. I want to see more people that look like me, especially when they’re designing for the consumer that looks like them. It’s important that whoever is designing understands the community and culture, and I don’t see how you can move forward in this age of social media and the extent of exposure without incorporating more diversity into hiring talent. A lot of times as women we are the hidden figures in the background of amazing innovations and it’s a moment to bring that to the forefront.
Brianna Thomas
What inspired your collection for the competition?
Brianna Thomas: The collection was really inspired by my HBCU experience. It embodied what I would wear and what my peers would wear.
What is something you learned throughout the program?
BT: I learned a lot because I didn’t study fashion. It’s just a passion of mine that I really wanted to pursue. I study marketing and a lot of things I learned were around product creation and what the go-to’s are for the fashion industry like pattern making. We made all of our 3D renders sustainably through a software that I’ve never heard about before and that was really interesting.
What can we look forward to seeing from you since placing 3rd in the competition?
BT: I’m definitely going to invest my prize money more into my fashion, such as building my skills and get the training I’ve never had before.
Le’Nora Gray
What was the design process like?
Le’Nora Gray: Working with FAAS, I learned more about functional apparel, and I’m typically a luxury designer, so at first it was a challenge understanding how to make products functional. I had to understand what the consumer needed on a day-to-day basis versus a red carpet type of moment. My process was really gaining an understanding on what aspects will go into the design that will make it functional, pretty, and transition into different seasons.
What was your inspiration behind your designs?
LG: Women who travel! so that was part of my design process as well. I was learning about women who travel, understanding women who travel, and that lifestyle is a whole other world. I really took time to understand what they need to support them when traveling.
Was it challenging working with a certain fabric?
LG: We used fleece, and the challenge wasn’t working with the material; it was designing something that would look appealing. It was hard for me to see what my creation would look like. Also, the contrasting fabrics my designs had fleece and nylon.
Nachae Davis
What is the inspiration behind your designs?
Nachae Davis: My main inspiration was inclusivity and I really focused on all women of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. I wanted women to look at my design and see themselves in it no matter how they look or where they are from.
How has going to an HBCU played an influence in your designs?
ND: Going to an HBCU really influenced my design because walking around campus everyone has their own style and I wanted to create something that people could look at and style in a way that could be personalized to them. Being on campus, I saw how everyone liked to add their own zest to what they wear.
What was your favorite part about the competition?
ND: Something that surprised me about this competition was that I thought, walking in, that it would be structured as such. Instead, it was very educational and we were able to gain skills and knowledge that I can now take into my professional career thanks to Ms. Angela.
What do you plan to do since you’ve won the grand prize?
ND: Now that I’ve won, it’s really new for me to have this kind of attention since I’m really low-key. It’s a lot of exposure. The prize money will help me catapult my design label, because prior to that I didn’t have the capital.
Chakierrah Stinson
What was the process like for you?
Chakierrah Stinson: When we first started the program, it was online and Angela helped me open up my mind to different ways of thinking about designs. When we went to Portland, we really got to learn more about the industry. We toured different athletic brands and we got to meet different industry insiders throughout the three weeks. Angela is really talented and I aspire to be like her one day.
I know you deconstruct athleisure wear into your own designs, did you incorporate your style into your designs?
CS: I knew coming in that I wanted a very sporty look and you can’t get any more sporty than a hoodie and joggers. My thing was making it different, so I made a hoodie and jogger that could convert into 10 different outfit looks. While I was in Portland, we spent the entire time perfecting it to make sure it functioned really well.
What can we expect from you next?
CS: I really hoped that I won and placed anywhere. I sew in my room so I want to get a studio to design in because I love sewing and I want to have a nice layout to work in. I want to have a line as well as work with some influencers.
Sharonda Richardson
What did you take away from the program?
Sharonda Richardson: One thing I had taken away from my three weeks in Portland is that I need to get over myself. I had a challenge with critiques and I had to see that it wasn’t because of my designs but because the creative director saw that I could do more with my designs.
What is your design background history?
SR: Everything I knew prior to attending Clark Atlanta University was self-taught. So even though I went to school at first as a biology major, my passion has always been designing. The first design I ever made was my prom dress, and even though I really love bridal designing I would love to incorporate sustainability into my bridal dress designs. I’d love to use the 3D render software we used at FAAS when designing because you would be able to see what changes need to be made in the design before making it.
What can we look forward to seeing from you?
SR: I definitely want to launch my line this year in August and reach my goals of having my bridal designs out in a boutique.

We're not in Winterfell anymore, folks. You know how we can tell? Because Sophie Turner traded in her ubiquitous fur shawls and leather armor for a winter wardrobe stacked with stylish loungewear sets and chunky dad sneakers. Ever since her role as Sansa Stark on HBO's Game of Thrones came to an end (All hail the Queen in the North!), Sophie Turner's been seriously busy. But it isn't her schedule that's made the actress our #1 topic of discussion — rather, it's what she's been wearing to get it all done.
Whether she's in one of her ubiquitous sweatsuits or a Louis Vuitton original (she acts as a brand ambassador for the house, meaning that she pretty much has to wear it all the time... tragic, we know), we've been hell-bent to find a Sophie Turner style moment that doesn't impress. And since today just happens to be her 24th birthday, a celebration that follows the announcement that her and hubby Joe Jonas are expecting their first child together, we can't help but take a trip down memory lane. Ahead, click through our favorite Sophie Turner looks through the years.
This article was originally published on August 26, 2019, and has since been updated.In between tour dates, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner took a casual stroll in L.A., with Joe in a fisherman's jacket (literally with fish on it) while Sophie chose a forest green sweatsuit, Adidas dad sneakers, and yellow-tinted shades.

Last week, while strolling through NYC with a friend, Turner was caught wearing what Page Six called "a controversial new trend". Read: socks with sandals. But it didn't take long for the GOT star to steer them in the write direction. "Nah we’ve all been taking out the trash like this for years and you know it," she posted on Twitter. "I’m not trying to make anything happen other than giving my feet some much needed TLC."

This weekend, while celebrating Joe Jonas's big 3-0, Sophie Turner donned a #throwback Alexander Vauthier haute couture gown that T.Swift just so happened to wear at Vanity Fair's notorious Oscars after party circa 2016. Though they styled the plunging gown in distinct ways, they both looked phenomenal.

Less than two weeks after wearing nearly the exact same casual 'fit on a stroll with hubby, Joe Jonas, Turner was spotted in her go-to $25 Dickie's Girl tee and black cut-offs yet again, this time during a night on the town to celebrate the Jonas Brothers' recent Teen Choice Awards win.

Rather, it was their wives that really took night #1 by storm. Turner, alongside fellow J-Sisters, Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas, showed their support for the band by posing in matching JoBro merch for an Instagram shot that now garners almost 2 million likes. Can you say #wivesontour?Turner appears to be adjusting to newlywed life just fine. Only a few short weeks after her wedding in the south of France to Joe Jonas, she made an appearance on her hubby's Insta wearing a lavender one-piece swimsuit while casually lounging beachside. And while we don't have the credits for her exact swimsuit yet, we found the perfect $60 dupe on Amazon Prime.Escaping the hotel life for the Parisian streets, Turner chose to wear one of this summer's hottest trends: the white shirt dress. And while a certain French designer has a similar dress on the market for upwards of $400, Turner's will only put you out $65.

Collars of all shapes, sizes, and materials — retro dagger collars, denim scalloped collars, oversized lace ones — have been enjoying top billing during the 2020 collections. Last season, exaggerated collars showed up all fashion month long, with disco styles straight out of the ‘70s at Fendi, Paco Rabanne, and Louis Vuitton, while more demure Peter Pan versions could be seen at the likes of Simone Rocha, Tory Burch, and Celine. But this time, these collars have got an added bonus: Many of them are detachable, which means you can wear these dickeys with many more things, in many more ways.
They first debuted in Copenhagen, with Danish cult brand Ganni. Alongside oversized suiting, yellow and red lug boots, and psychedelic checkerboard patterns was a fine-tuned selection of bib-like collars available in leather, quilted nylon, embroidered mesh, and denim worn over top of sweater dresses, paired with matching quilted coats, and secured underneath traditional collared button-downs. In preppy uptown Manhattan, Tory Burch released a more Pilgrim-esque alternative made of stiff, white cotton and embellished with delicate lace. In London, they appeared at the JW Anderson show as fully beaded and feathered collars styled with simple dresses, and in Milan at Alberta Ferretti as ruffled and romantic additions to otherwise masculine suits. Just hours ago, Miuccia presented a whole slew of necklace-like collars made of sparkling beaded fringe that were layered on top Easter-colored sheath dresses.
Similar to the detachable turtlenecks that have been a street style and runway hit the past few seasons, these throw-on-and-go collars are as utilitarian as they are ornamental. “Dickeys, like makeup, used to hide blemishes and emote a pristine image,” explained Darnell Jamal Lisby, a fashion historian working at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum about these collars’ original function. Rather than having to tuck in a collared shirt, dealing with layering lumpy sleeves, or constantly dry cleaning your shirts, a detachable choker makes getting the prim and proper look of a collar easier than ever before.
Below, find a selection of already available removable collars to shop now.

London Fashion Week drew to a close this week and, set against a backdrop of Brexit, the environmental crisis, and coronavirus, for many showgoers it was hard to justify its relevance. Do we really have room for such an excessive parade in the current climate? While the British Fashion Council failed to address the industry’s environmental responsibility by way of a robust pledge (unlike Copenhagen Fashion Week, whose impressive action plan gave us hope for the future), the institution does play host to designers who are taking action and contributing to a positive fashion industry, from Richard Malone’s new regenerative farm to Preen’s upcycled and recycled wool and cotton.
While the biannual event feels at odds with where we’re at politically and culturally right now, it’s unfair to lay the blame at the feet of young designers creating art. As humans, we’ll always turn to things of beauty in times of strife and their work provides hope, inspiration, and creativity for us all. More importantly, though, London Fashion Week’s makers are not the ones churning the fast-fashion machine or calling for a relentless carousel of trends. In fact, they’re resisting those demands.
Rather than send anything gimmicky down the catwalks (it seems we’re all fatigued by the dogged cycle of newness), designers from Victoria Beckham and JW Anderson to Shrimps and Christopher Kane offered us looks we know and love, but cast through a new lens. From robust workwear to timeless party pieces, there were heritage checks in innovative cuts, classic tailoring given new meaning, and party season sparkle in a way we’ve not seen before.
With the fashion industry playing such a huge role in the climate crisis, it’s easy to forget the essential joy we get from it; but by defying senseless novelty – and therefore waste – designers proved that fashion isn’t the big bad wolf it’s accused of being. It’s important that, while we continue to question and hold to account the existing modes of displaying fashion, we still find the beauty in dressing up. We’ll always need clothes, so we may as well have fun with it.
Arguably the most wearable look to emerge from London Fashion Week, designers leaned into ladylike silhouettes this season. Over at Shrimps, which returned to the official show schedule for fall ’20, creative director Hannah Weiland looked to Lady Di and the queen, giving us regal aesthetic codes like top-handled bags worn in the crook of models’ arms, plenty of pearls and froufrou midi dresses with silk elbow gloves. Rejina Pyo offered a more workwear-appropriate take on femininity, with puff-sleeved blouses tucked into sleek knee-length skirts proving her ability to make everyday pieces feel extra special isn’t waning. Erdem’s shows always deliver on ladylike looks – it’s what makes him such a favorite on the red carpet – but there was a standout get-up that we can see being imitated later this season. An empire-line silk chartreuse midi dress, complete with waist-defining belt and high neckline, will no doubt make its way across the high street just in time for wedding guest season.
On the other end of the spectrum, we saw a healthy dose of gender-defying pieces from designers flexing their tailoring muscles. At Preen, the ’70s film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s Don’t Look Now was the collection’s inspiration, and while flashes of the film’s haunting red symbolism were seen throughout, it was the Donald Sutherland-esque suiting that we loved the most: think dagger collars and oversized lapels on suave three-piece get-ups. Among the reworked check and trench coats at Burberry, Riccardo Tisci delivered a surprisingly zingy trouser suit. Just brighter than olive, the green suit felt thoroughly retro thanks to its pairing with a rust shirt and tan leather accessories. Margaret Howell, too, continued to do what she does best: timeless pieces that verge on the androgynous. Our winning look from her fall ’20 collection was made up of loose pinstriped trousers, an off-center square-edged tie, and a utilitarian gray shirt.
Party season always calls for sparkle but for fall ’20 magpie materials were elevated beyond the dance floor. JW Anderson‘s collection was an ode to volume and mass, with every piece focused on movement in some way. The Northern Irish designer has always done glitz in a subtle way, but this season we saw sequins with a capital S come down the catwalk, topped with floating feathered shoulders. Go hard or go home, as they say. Erdem, who often references overlooked historical figures, instead drew inspiration from Cecil Beaton. The extravagant British photographer captured the delirious glamour of artists and socialites of the ’20s and ’30s, and in turn, Erdem’s collection was brimming with razzle-dazzle, from meter-tall feathered headdresses to shimmering silver gowns. Perhaps the Roaring Twenties are back, after all. Naturally, at Christopher Kane we got a darker take on sparkle. With a collection exploring the relationship between man, woman, and nature, Kane used crystal mesh gowns to allude to corruption in the Garden of Eden. With a gown this glittering, we say hate the sin, not the sinner.
From sand to camel, all manner of neutrals have dominated both on and off the catwalk for the past few seasons (thank Bottega Veneta and Phoebe Philo’s dedicated followers), but we’re more interested in the brown brigade that’s emerging for fall ’20. The subversion of a shade previously thought of as ugly is far more interesting than the sea of beige we see outside the shows, and a slew of muddy coats proved us right. A.W.A.K.E Mode’s velvet quilted coat with an exaggerated collar looked like a Cadbury’s chocolate bar and will no doubt be the casual coat of the coming winter. Petar Petrov’s outerwear offering was mighty impressive but the standout piece was a ’90s-inspired leather mac (it wouldn’t look out of place on Bella Hadid if you ask us). At Rejina Pyo, we saw outerwear in corduroy, suede, and leather, but our favorite piece was a military-esque almost-khaki jacket with contrasting pockets and collar. We’re pairing with slouchy leather boots, as styled on the catwalk.
Thanks to the classic Breton tee, stripes may not feel like the most groundbreaking or thrilling trend to emerge from the catwalks of fall ’20, but hear us out. We first spotted teenage angst at Prada fall ’19, where Miuccia sent Wednesday Addams lookalikes down the catwalk; happily, the grunge trend lives on this season, with slubby Kurt Cobain-esque stripes present at both Erdem and Molly Goddard. While the latter went all-out with a frothy black skirt, platform creeper shoes, and embroidered patches, the former somehow made grunge glamorous with shimmering trousers, platform mules and a coordinating Alice band. Richard Quinn took a different tack and, in a similar vein to Burberry, gave us a contemporary spin on the striped rugby shirt. Candyfloss pink and olive green in a sumptuous satin shade will ensure no one mistakes you for a Six Nations punter.
Designers have become so infatuated with heritage check over the last few years – maybe Brexit is turning them back on to traditional British craft – that we didn’t think we could see the woven fabric done in an innovative way. And yet. As the undisputed champion of check, Burberry gave us a host of tantalizing new outerwear in striking pink and black check, rich autumnal check and staid grey check. Cropped, spliced and given faux fur cuffs, new life was breathed into the fabric. Over at Molly Goddard, checks were given art school edges incarnation colors, high pockets and unstructured silhouettes (paired with grey tights and Dr. Martens they were even more brilliant), while Victoria Beckham continued to provide us with aspirational workwear. Who knew we’d be coveting a three-piece look (blazer, skirt, and cape) in black, yellow, white and grey check?
BDE (that’s Big Dress Energy) first graced the catwalks of London Fashion Week at fall ’19, with that larger-than-life hot pink Molly Goddard dress leading the charge. Now, though, voluminous pieces aren’t just for standout dresses but for every aspect of your wardrobe. Simone Rocha’s frothy dresses have earned her a cult following and now she’s turning her outerwear XXL, too. The same goes for JW Anderson: last season he gave us enormous balloon sleeves on trench coats, this time around it’s the lapels he’s supersized. Roksanda, who dresses every Hollywood actress worth their salt, knows that drama is key for red carpet appearances and is no stranger to dresses that make an entrance. She gave new meaning to The Big Purple this season with a layered and frilled showstopper.

काजोल उन अदाकारओं में से एक हैं जिनकी खूबसूरती उम्र के साथ और बढ़ती ही जा रही है। ट्रडिशनल लुक को भी कैरी कर वह इतनी सुंदर नजर आती हैं कि देखने वाले उन्हें बस देखते ही रह जाते हैं। इस ऐक्ट्रेस ने इस बार जब लेमन ग्रीन कलर की साड़ी पहन अपनी तस्वीरें इंस्टाग्राम पर पोस्ट कीं तो फैन्स तो उन्हें जैसे एक बार फिर दिल दे बैठे। काजोल ने फेमस फैशन डिजाइनर अनिता डोंगरे के Kaia कलेक्शन की साड़ी पहनी थी। यह 100% प्योर सिल्क से बनाई गई थी। इस लाइम ग्रीन कलर की साड़ी पर बनारसी प्रिंट किया गया था। साथ ही में इस पर ट्रडिशनल गोटा पट्टी वर्क भी किया गया था, जिससे साड़ी और पल्ले को और भी ज्यादा रिच लुक मिल रहा था। यह साड़ी हाथों से बनाई गई थी, यानी इस पर किया गया पूरा वर्क हैंड मेड था। इस सुंदर साड़ी के साथ काजोल ने स्लीवलेस ब्लाउज पहना था, जिसमें पीछे की ओर डीप स्क्वेर और बो डिजाइन दिया गया था। इसे फ्लॉन्ट करने के लिए काजोल ने अपने सिल्की बालों को भी स्ट्रेट लुक देते हुए एक शोल्डर पर कर रखा था। काजोल के गोल्ड ऐंड डायमंड डैंगलर्स अनमोल जूलर्स के थे। ऐक्ट्रेस के मेकअप को कंप्लीट नैचरल लुक दिया गया था। उनकी लिपस्टिक के लिए भी लाइट वॉर्म टोन चुना गया था। अनिता डोंगरे की इस साड़ी को उनकी ऑफिशल वेबसाइट से भी खरीदा जा सकता है। हालांकि, इसे खरीद पाना शायद सबके बस की बात नहीं हो सकेगी। इसकी कॉस्ट ऑफिशल वेबसाइट पर 96,000 रुपये लिखी गई है। साड़ी के साथ ही ब्लाउज पीस और पेटिकोट भी दिया जाएगा। अगर आप साड़ी खरीदना चाहती हैं तो इस डायरेक्ट लिंक पर क्लिक कर सकती हैं:
भूमि पेडनेकर यह बात खुद स्वीकार कर चुकी हैं कि वह प्रियंका चोपड़ा के इंस्टाग्राम को स्टॉक करती हैं। शायद इस स्टॉकिंग का ही असर है कि भूमि के फैशन पर भी अब 'देसी गर्ल' के स्टाइल की परछाई दिखने लगी है।
