Genesis, Lucely, Adelis

 

I see the most fashion divas in my neighborhood. People really put thought into how they are going to dress, especially on the weekend. That is one of my favorite things about the Bronx. I don’t have to go far to be inspired, see creativity or even get a great photo!

You notice all of them have on Ray-Bans? (The real McCoy people!)

Each of them are stylish in their own right and is holding her own. There’s no insecurities. The best thing about these three is they are all kind and down to earth.

Bambi

 

Bambi, a photographer and instructor for the International Center of Photography shows off silk-screen art done by a Japanese artist in Brooklyn. I thought it was extra cool that she got the print done on a plaid shirt rather than a plain white tee.

If you look at the whale closely, there is a shape of a man.

Rugie & Maimuna

 

Rugie & Maimuna were waiting for the train when I asked them for a photo. They are both from Gambia and were decked out for a friend’s wedding. I took more photos of them but I like this one because it shows the Bronx in its normal light.

Here are two beautiful young ladies dressed to the T for a wedding but their surrounding is an eye sore. There’s litter on the floor and the platform is dirty.

I also like the bystander (or by-sitter) who is smiling as though I was aiming the camera at her. Well, it’s a good thing she is smiling because she’s in the picture.

And fashion wise, I think the print on the dresses is outstanding along with Maimuna’s killer platforms!

Takay

Takay was up the block across the street and of course everyone eyes were on her!

Well, your eyes would be on her too if you were there…but they are on her aren’t they!

I loved her boldness to put off a neon green dress and carry a bright orange bag…nevertheless, I can’t say it was to much….or was it?
