ARTWORK by JoJo | Strike a Pose Collection

When FASHION meets ART... fabulous things can happen...

As seen in my latest collection entitled "Strike a Pose".

This collection was created exclusively for a Showroom Grand Opening for an uber-talented fashion designer and friend, Esé Azénabor. She is Nigerian/British/Canadian turned Texan, a Fashion Designer, and a total Boss Babe! She is smart, beautiful, talented, and a hard-working woman. Her laughter exudes joy and peace. Her clothing is detailed, feminine, stunning, and show-stoppers. She dresses Hollywood celebrities right down to people like me! 

This is one amazing individual... so, of course, I was beyond thrilled when she asked me to be one of the featured artists at the Grand Opening of her Showroom in the Dallas Design District.

We collaborated on the color palette and glam-vibe for the pieces, deciding to go with neutral tones and just a hint of emerald green in a few pieces. There are a total of 5 paintings in the collection. All showcasing a heavy layered texture of mixed metals (silver and gold) reflecting the hand-beaded details on her gowns.

The collection title was inspired by Madonna's "Strike a Pose" song with part of the lyrics making their way into the individual painting titles. I always feel like a movie star in Esé's pieces... you'll find me stiking a pose a few times over!

I am so thrilled for Esé .... even greater things are in store!

Her showroom is available as an event venue location. And it's a pretty grand venue at that...

CHECK IT OUT!

When FASHION meets ART... fabulous things can happen!

There is so much to be inspired about with this woman.

But, let's just stick with the color she brought into the spotlight.

A soft pastel blue she refers to as Nairobi Blue.

Lovin' it!

Check out this wallpaper from Thibaut!

Simply GORGEOUS!

There are other color choices as well... but, 

the print... the boldness... the color!

What's not to like about this color?

It is so soothing.... in interiors and fashion!

How about this necklace for a Nairobi Blue statement?!

Ten Thousand Villages Statement Necklace

When I look down 

at this golden statue, 

may it remind me and every little child

that no matter where you're from

your dreams are valid.

WORDS: Little Black Dress

In honor of Karl Lagerfeld in town for the Chanel Matiers d'Art Fashion Show at Fair Park Monday night.... I thought this was appropriate for today.

I'm planning to rock a few Little Black Dresses for some holiday parties... with killer statement necklaces... of course!
