Remember the gorgeous Liya Kebede? Besides looking down on us, mortals, from skyscraper-sized ad billboards and caressing the catwalks with her feline demarche, she’s also involved in countless charities and militant activities besides being an actress and a mother! However, it’s not about all that today: it’s about your home and how you can ethically decorate it with Lemlem!

Lemlem – you may remember we talked about this brand a while back when highlighting the Born Free campaign – is proudly ‘Made in Ethiopia’, supporting the local weaving tradition and hard hand work of local weavers. Going beyond the clothes and accessories for both women and kids, Lemlem by Liya Kebede now extends into homewear (with a little help from Anthropologie).

Let’s take one of the latest examples into consideration: Gisele Bundchen completely uncovering her statuesque self on the cover of Vogue Brasil May 2015 – scroll down to see her!

As the circumstances of fashion change with every new season, the premises remain the same: fashion is but a bouquet of social conditionings of our wardrobe. Style, however, regardless of the seasons and the designers ever-expanding collections, going against the general trends, style is unique and specific for each person.

So while you might take my words lightly, I included below (just) 10 quotes about style attributed to high fashion luminaries, fashion wisdom to dress and live by!

If you’re a fan of AI movies or of Neill Blomkamp’s cinematic perspective, you have to see Chappie! Although I was a bit hesitant, knowing the main idea behind the movie (Artificial Intelligence), I admit I was completely blown away by the ultimate twist and the visuals of the movie. You will be too! Where the Wachowskis movies are failing, Neill Blomkamp is brilliantly sustaining and radiating: smart, fun SF movies putting ideas out there without over-speculating and over-philosophizing!

Back to the fashion items – a rather hard topic to tackle since the film’s main character is a robot and right next to him stand and act brilliantly the Southafrican duo Die Antwoord. Even Wolverine has a new mullet haircut and a wardrobe straight from the M.A.S.H tents! Focusing on what we were able to find out so far:

Yoga, UGGs and tattoos – are you into out smartening the media-fed lies? Let’s get to it, then! First, because since Gwyneth Paltrow’s emancipation she became one of the most followed fitness gurus on the Planet, Tracy Anderson’s words are relevant to the media. And for those who look up to her.

Before Gwyneth, Tracy worked with Madonna (actually Madonna recommended Tracy to Gwyneth and so the Goop emancipation begun) and now she’s training JLo, Kim Kardashian or Nicole Richie (and who knows else). It’s safe to say that some of the most envied bodies in entertainment are shaped by Tracy Anderson. But did you know that Tracy has recently spoken out against yoga and raw diets?
