Chrisette Michele wears Tous
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Singer Chrisette Michele had a busy weekend!
The day after performing at Sugarhill, she hit Shout for a special performance in conjunction with Tous, the Spanish jewelry brand with Atlanta locations at Lenox Square and North Point Mall.
Michele wore Tous at the Grammy’s and will continue partnering with the brand in future.
Tous, a popular brand of jewelry in Spain and Spanish speaking countries, only recently arrived in Atlanta under the ownership of Esther Carretero (pictured above with Michele). Collections range from higher end gemstones in gold to less expensive sterling silver pieces, many designed with the company’s trademark teddy bear.

Ebony Fashion Fair show turns 50
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Ebony Fashion Fair fashion show hit town Sunday at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The sold out event represented the 50th anniversary of the nation’s largest traveling fashion show.
Established in 1958 by John H. Johnson (former publisher of Ebony magazine) and his wife, Eunice, the event has brought entertainment, and more than $55 million in funds to charitable organizations across the country. It also helped launch the careers of a number of African-Americans in fashion.
Richard Roundtree aka “Shaft,” was a former model and designers such as Stephen Burrows, have had their work grace the runway. In addition, the event served to expose mostly African-American audiences to designer fashions from around the world.
Today, the show has earned a reputation for outrageous outfits and lively presentation. Have you ever attended the Ebony Fashion Fair fashion show? Is it still relevant after all these years?
