And she's not rolling solo! She'll be bringing along, the esteemed and very talented photographer, Amanda Lopez and they'll be shooting for the "Girls Got Kicks" book! We're very honored to host these wonderful ladies and even more honored that they've chosen to capture the ladies in SoFla who rep hard for this culture that we love so much.
Here's a little more info on the project (via SneakerFreaker):
" GIRLS GOT KICKS is the first ever photo documentary of badass females, told through their passion for sneakers. It will be a worldwide documentation of famous fiends like SF's own Mafia reppin' as a blazing DJ and Mama busting out her dope as hell Pro Mamas, but also giving love to the thousands of other female sneaker fiends who use kicks to say something about themselves. This collaboration between FemaleSneakerFiend founder Lori Lobenstine and photographer Amanda Lopez will bring you up close and personal with the passion that intertwines these girl's hearts and soles[.] "

Alexander McQueen Dies

British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead at his London home at the age of 40.
His death comes just days before the start of London fashion week and a month before he was to unveil his new collection at Paris fashion week.
His company, Alexander McQueen, issued a statement saying: "On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home. At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family.
"Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this."
Born in London in 1969 as the youngest of six children, McQueen left school at the age of 16 and was immediately offered an apprenticeship at the traditional Saville Row tailors Anderson and Shephard and then at neighbouring Gieves and Hawkes.
McQueen was a four-time winner of the British designer of the year award as well as the international designer of the year award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. He was awarded the CBE in 2003.

As of late, Alexander McQueen had been seen on pop culture superstar Lady Gaga and other celebrities like Rihanna, Fergie & Katie Holmes.
