How To
Purchase the
Miniskirt That
Fits You
In the last newspaper, you read
that miniskirts are a must have this
season. Well, here are a few ways to
find that perfect one. The best way to
start out is to look around and take
your time in finding the one that fits
you right and looks right on you. Try
on different styles, materials, and
the different lengths. You want to get
the best one that shows off your true
attributes, not your business. If you
are a tall young lady, the sky is the
limit for you, but if you are short or a
full figured sister, it is best to let the
skirt be above the knee by a couple
of inches. The most important advice
I can give is that you want to feel
comfortable in anything you wear.
The worse thing a woman can do is
always tug or pull on a piece of
clothing that is either to small or too
short for her. It’s best to be trendy
not trashy! If you have a fashion
dilemma or even fashion tips, please

(Fashion For Your
Information)
Many people are not aware that
there is an institution dedicated to
preserving black achievement and
contributions to the fashion industry.
The institution is called, the Black
Fashion Museum. It is located in
Washington, D.C., and it is the first
fashion museum dedicated to Black
fashion pioneers. Lois K. Alexander-
Lane, former president of the National
Association of Fashion and Accessory
Designers, founded this museum. The
fashion and designs date back as
early as slavery ties. Here is my
challenge to you, name at least 10
black fashion designers. Here is a

This Issue’s
Designer of the
Month
This issue we are paying tribute
to a multi-cultural fashion team. The)
are better known as ENYCE. Enyce
consists of many cultures and is
reflected in their clothing. Each ethn
group gives that different flavor that
makes Enyce appeals to all people
who are interested in their designs.
When Lando Felix, Tony Shellman,
and Evan Davis got together in 199f
and formed the company. They were
designers who used to work for
Mecca USA and they created Enyce
as something new, completely diffef-
ent kind of clothing company one th
could lead the youth market, redefii^
the fashion curve, and could sustain
success and growth to it’s audience
The spectacular growth of the com
pany grew fast; the first year they
grossed six million dollars and five
years later they grossed a whoppins
six-five million dollars. Lady Enyce
was introduced, when Lisa Miyakadt
was added to the fashion team. She
is the creative director, whose de
signs copy the lives of the consume'
that purchase the clothes. Because
of the different backgrounds of Enyo
and Lady Enyce, each thread usecii^
made for a customer of every natioi'
ality Enyce’s motto in making clothe^
is that they create designs for them'
selves, and that is what makes them
popular and “realistic.”
