Liberty Fairs January 2015

January 27, 2015. Leave a Comment

Liberty Fairs burst on the trade show scene less than two years and already it feels like a heavy hitting game changer. Anchored on the cool that emanates from the insanely photogenic Freedom Hall section of the event, this menswear show feels hip, current and fun. Greatly expanded from our last visit last year, the show now includes three large wings as opposed to last year’s two. The event included a free coffee and liquor bar (positioned side by side), a pool table lounge area, plus a preview of a new publication by Grandpa Style‘s Ashley Owens called Suiting, an appearance by Rosario Dawson in support of her line, Studio One Eighty Nine, and portrait photography by John Midgley with creative direction by The Brooklyn Circus and styling by Scott Newkirk and Ashley Owens.

Much deserved credit is given to founder Sam Ben-Avraham (who founded Project, which he eventually sold to Advanstar), but it occurs to us that the secret sauce is because of co-owner, Sharifa Murdock, who is very much on the scene of each show and has imbued Liberty with a perspective and energy that feels efficient and organized and yet still wide-minded and even at moments, dare we say, utopic. Yes, she’s a business, man (!), but she’s also a black woman whose background clearly has given her access to an unusually diverse pool of talent that she uses to set a table at which a lust and talent for expressing creativity are the main cost of entry.

We now are gushing, we know, but we do not care because it’s appropriate. First, we have no official connection with the show, and more importantly, if you are deep in the world of fashion, you know how uncommon an inclusive perspective is and thus why it puts us over the (Liberty) moon to witness and experience it at this show. It’s a big thing, huge even and deserves its proper hat tip.

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.

After The Cut published a story titled "Our Condolences To The Birkin" the internet got into their feelings.

Eschewing a classust view on fashion, in another exchange, he said, "What I wanted to make wasn’t clothes that were only for people with money. It was things like jeans and t-shirts, things that were familiar to lots of people, easy to wash and easy to use."
