ELLE 2009 Louis Vuitton "Double Take" x Josephine Baker

It never amazes me that black people have been perhaps the most oppressed and even in death..still the most imulated. "Haters hate because they envy!"

This is an Louis Vuitton editorial from US Elle 2009 issue called "Double Take". The look of was captured by Marc Jacob himself and it's chic was intended 2 captivate the insane style of the mother of movement herself "Josephine Baker" the 1st African American 2 star in a major film or intergrate any white American concert hall. She and Langston Hughes both jetted, leaving America and giving up their citizenship when the colors of the rainbow were'nt enuff!! Later returning 2 the states when asked by Coretta Scott King 2 be an activist in the civil rights movement after KING had been killed.

MODEL: Johanna Kneppers-Corbel STYLIST: Samuel François PHOTOGRAPHER: Jacob Sutton ilvoelv ==========================================

"Josephine Baker's style was so trendsetting and defined that Louis Vuitton needed 2 duplicate it almost 100 years later!"

-PICTURES LIE- "Lemme Put You On Game" Jesse Jackson and the late Detroit Mayor, Coleman Young are all smiles in this photo, taken at the Book-Cadillac Hotel the night Young was first elected Detroit’s mayor in 1973. But inside, the mayor-elect was seething. He had wanted Jackson, then a youthful 32, to come to Detroit to lead a voter-registration drive. But the younger man demanded $50,000, to which an indignant Coleman spat, “I didn’t have $50,000 for Jesse Jackson.” Later, when Jackson ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, Young got even by endorsing a rival, and at one point proclaimed, “Jesse never ran nothing but his mouth.” In a classic understatement, Mayor Young noted in his autobiography that, “It was well known that Jesse and I were not bosom buddies.”
