Are you the bomb?

“Every day is a fashion show and the world is the runway.”

I remember my first flight jacket, it was all black and quilted and my sister had a multi-colored one made out the same material.  You couldn’t tell us anything, the jacket said it all!

Fun history fact:   Who would have ever guessed that the bomber jacket was developed for pilots during World War I?  In 1915, the Royal Flying Corps in Belgium and France issued their pilots long leather jackets that protected them from the cold weather.  The U.S. adopted the idea and eventually created a new design. The U.S. Army Air Corps decided to create a waist length jacket of their own and it was called the A-2 bomber jacket.  Not only did the military catch on to the jacket but the fashion industry noticed its popularity and made the jacket timeless.
 
Designers are taking the original silhouette of the bomber jacket and revamping it.  Using different fabrics and colors, adding embellishments, tailoring it or even creating an exaggeration through shapes. The jacket went from being a necessity during World War I to a symbol for strength, style, power, and leadership.  This jacket is worn by all ages from kids to their grandparents.  I love that the bomber jacket can be paired with something glamorous creating the perfect street style. Depending on your fashion style there is a bomber jacket for you. 

Excuse me, can you pass my jacket please?

The Journey & Building a Brand Worthwhile

 

The Journey. Is like a roller coaster ride with unexpected twist and turns.  The goal is to stay on the ride and not fall off. No matter how much you plan, nothing ever seems to go as planned.  They say patience is the key to life and patient I am.
Waiting for those important moments and meetings that will set the foundation and making decisions that will ultimately shape your business and create its legacy. 

 

Finding your way.  It is like being in the woods without compass. You know your destination, but you have to figure out how you are going to get there. Of course there are obstacles along the way, but overcoming these unforeseen events makes the ultimate goal that much worthy. I found courage in myself along with positive reinforcement to keep going. A special friend always emphasizes on the notion that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.  Being fearful will hinder you from becoming great and what you are destined to be.

 

Posh Me’Ke. The brand itself is me, encompassing fashion, style and creativity.  “You Must Create” is our slogan.  I’m ecstatic to be able to introduce everyone to Posh Me’Ke.  My team and I are creating a world within the world, within the world of fashion.  This weekend was our first sample fittings.  It was absolutely amazing. Currently, we are preparing for our Fall/Winter 2016 launch.

 

The Team. One thing that I am learning along this journey is that you can get somewhere by yourself, but even further with the right people by your side.
Those who decided to join my world of Posh Me’ke and to help me build a brand worthwhile, thank you for believing in me, my vision and for your dedication. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

 

Sincerely,

Morgen E.

I rock Tom Ford!

“Dressing well is a form of good manners.”

--Tom Ford

We hear the name in songs and see the clothing being modeled on the runway, worn by celebrities and even smell the cologne on our men but who is this person behind the designs and the scent? Its legendary fashion designer, film maker and one of GQ’s 2015 top 50 best dressed men, Tom Ford.  Tom Ford’s designs are strong, sexy and exclusive one of a kind pieces that target confident women and men.  Some of Tom Ford’s inspirations come from his nights spent in NYC famous nightclub Studio 54.  The disco-era glamour became an influence in his clothing as seen in this year’s London’s Fashion week Spring/Summer 2015 collection. 

As far back as I can remember, music have been bringing designers to the forefront, artists are not just wearing the clothes in the videos, but also mentioning the brands and giving designers recognition through their lyrics.  From Lil Kim and Puffy, to Jay-Z who wrote a song called “Tom Ford”. The designer himself was flattered that it was named after him and his favorite verse is “I don’t pop molly, I rock Tom Ford”.  In an interview done by Time magazine, Tom Ford said, “fashion doesn’t stop at clothes; fashion is everything--art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look--all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that’s what excites me.”

Feeling great and looking amazing in your clothes gives one an instant sense of gratification and that is what fashion is all about.  Thanks for reading and follow @meke_poshmeke on Instagram to see exclusive glamorous designs by Tom Ford!
