Laurin Talese: She Can Really Sing

Everyone knows I love me some Jazz and R&B. A few years ago (2010) I found myself blasting me some Vivian Green via YouTube ( to the song "Caught Up") while in my home in VA and I came across a sister with some amazing vocals! I continued to listen, had no idea who she was as Vivian Green went on to introduce her in the next video I watched at a live concert. I made it my business to then become not only a girl who does my research, but now a fan. I then proceeded to while visiting my sister in Philly head down to a concert. Yes, you could say I was a bit obsessed. But even more so, I was amazed. Laurin Talese has a way with engaging with her audience. Something I must say is a delight if you have a chance to be in the presence. Her voice reminds me of the true elegance and essence of jazz. It's as if there were a rebirth of all the greats put into one.

She's an Ohio native but definitely has the City of Brotherly/Sisterly Love in her heart! I know this girl had to of grown up singing in the church choir and I wanted to high-five Vivian Green for putting her on two of my most favorite albums to this day! Most people think of music as a hobby, after listening to her and watching her you can tell this is a lifestyle and her heart beating choice. And unlike most artist I meet, she is as genuine and humble to her fans as they come!

MIXTAPE NAME 1 YR LATER....DROPPING FIRST PART OF WINTER

House Of Tammam
















Earlier in the month of May I received an invite to Las Vega Fashion Week. Though I am truly honored , I became so disappointed I couldn't attend. That didn't stop me from getting the sweet satisfaction of interviewing some of the best designers featured in the events to come such as House of Tamamm. I have to give a special thank you to Lucy Tammam, award winning designer of House of Tammam  who didn't mine spilling the beans about the fabric and trails of the fashion industry as we Skype’d.  

The Tammam label is a world renowned British couture label offering hand made modern bridal gowns and fashion pieces created using traditional meticulous craftsmanship skills. Bringing back the concept of made to measure for a young generation the Bloomsbury atelier offers bespoke garments created to be worn with love and never “throw-away”.
An innovator of Eco-Couture, respecting and nurturing people and planet is as important as creating gowns to enhance and enrapture the wearer. 
Designed by Lucy Tammam, graduate of  central saint martins, classically trained in tailoring and obsessive couturier. Tammam is London's most exciting fashion label of the moment.

When asked what would be the biggest takeaway from starting her own business Lucy replied:
“Don’t (censored) do it! “ replies Lucy

It caught me by surprise but it definitely got my attention. Imagine how many great ideas we all have to start our own business. She went on to explain why.

“No seriously, don’t do it if you don’t plan to put your all into it. It takes time, dedication and most importantly money. You may end up making several pieces before investors find something they like. It might even be only 5 pieces out of the zillions you have created. That’s the most important take away. Stay in the know of things and don’t always assume your best work is the best they’ve ever seen. Keep working diligently towards becoming better, greater and more in demand.”

Words to truly live by for all of you  up and coming designers. It’s either give it your all or simply don’t do it. I know I am not in the business of quitting and hope you guys aren't either.
