"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!"

EMORY DOUGLAS : BLACK PANTHER MAGAZINE ARTIST

In 1967, Emory Douglas met Black Panther co-founders Bobby Seale and Huey Newton at a student organized event at San Francisco State for which Douglas had done the publicity artwork. After expressing the desire to get involved with the Black Panther cause, Douglas was invited to meet with Seale and Newton. It was at this meeting that the first issue of The Black Panther magazine was the thought that created the print. Douglas, seeing the only available materials to be marker and a typewriter, he saw fit and added to the production of the Black Panther Magazine..then, it was born!! “The art reflected the transitions the Party went through, that inner process . .visually, from militant self defense to a more politically engaged approach,” says Douglas . It is a testament to the power of art for social change. Undeniably relevant in both today’s domestic and global political climate, Douglas’ legacy is one of unwavering determination and passion for social justice. "ALL POWER 2 THE PEOPLE!!"
