Runway: Alexander McQueen.

Carter James | May 8th, 2012 | Editor's Comment

Fashion Shows are my thing. I have been producing from assisting to model directing since 2006. I started off with Project X, Clark Atlanta University premiere fashion production. We did some of the most talked about themes and gave Atlanta fashion. Then, everyone graduated or moved to new cities. So from there I went over to GSU, working with Infinite Appeal. I then had knowledge of how running a show from idea to day of production. I love it. I love the part where we choose models, practice, fittings and the runway. It gives me a rush. I recently just completed by last college show at GSU and now I will be producing different shows under James Taylor Firm.

Now, I want to get to the other fashion weeks such as New York, Paris, Milan and so many others. I want to produce fashion shows around the world, one day soon. But for now, I will settle with watching them via style.com. The show below is Alexander McQueen Fall 2012. It was perfection on the runway.

I adorn this show and it fuels me to get my hands on one of these garment and to keep pushing towards my dream. It will be a reality soon.

Fashion 101: Lusting Solewear.

Carter James | May 8th, 2012 | Editor's Comment

Hello all. I am finally about to add some fashion to this site. I love fashion and I am around it all day working at Forever 21. I hate my job by the way but it’s a check so I will stay. Bills need to be paid. Anyway, I am currently building something major over at James Taylor Firm, coming later this summer and it has to be with everything fashion. Fashion is the perfect expression.

Myself personally, I just put on what I like and walk out the door. I am really simple when it comes to style. I love wearing cargo (fitted) pants, t-shirt and some flat shoe. That’s me all day! However, I work with a lot of women on shoots and other projects, so I am into women’s fashion as well. The fashion industry is mainly women based. So I have decided to showcase what I love about fashion on her. I will post pics of different looks, shoes, and accessories and much more for men and women. I am starting with four part of women’s shoes that every female needs in their closet.


Studded Double Platform Pump


Wooden Platform Sandal


Leopard Printed Double Platform MaryJane


Heel-less Burnt Orange Wedge

These are some essential shoes for the summer. All of these shoes are under 40 dollars ladies, so please treat yourself to some funky, unique footwear.

Expect more to come.

Young Mogul: The Vina Mills.

Carter James | May 4th, 2012 | Editor's Comment

So everyone is starting to see that MUSIC is one of my many loves. I have find that their are so many different talented individuals here in my city and I plan to expose them all. The artist that has caught my ear is Vina Mills. Vina Mills is the truth. Period! She is a true performer with a musical knowledge and love. This is not a game for her, it is her life. When you give this woman a mic and a stage, the rest is history.

Vina Mills is native of Detroit, the home of Motown. I call it the birthplace of GOOD Music. She has been into music from a young age do to her father, also a musician. She is a dancer, writer, musician, arranger and performer. I know a performer when I see one and when she hits the stage, peace falls. You cannot help but to focus in on her. I recently had the pleasure of shooting with her and it was magic from hair/make-up to her before my len. I cannot wait to work with her again. Check out the video behind the scenes, pure positive energy.

This summer is about to be amazing. The #Queen is coming.

The City: BE Magazine.

Carter James | April 13th, 2012 | Editor's Comment

My nights have become filled with events and being social. Something I am trying my hardest to get use too. I am normally the quiet kid in the corner, looking at everyone with wide eyes. Now, I have been thrown into the mix and have to network to stay up on everything. So when I heard that BE Magazine had a pre release party and I found myself with my two main girls; Deme and Kaylah. I found everything to be amazing.

Garment Racks: Men’s Fashion.

Carter James | April 12th, 2012 | Editor's Comment

During the process of developing the show, the designers Gentleman’s Table. They have a very classic style with gentleman all over it. Clean, tailored and simple along with being well-dressed is what men are made of. I love the era of man they are ushering back into the Atlanta fashion scene.

So over the past three months, I have been working on this amazing production with Spotlight Program Board and Infinite Appeal. REIGN!This was one the most important and innovative shows of my career. It has definitely set the bar for everything else I will do from now on. I was the Model Director for the show; so I trained the models, handled the production stand point of the walks and model behavior. I truly enjoyed working with some of Atlanta’s talented models. Get into the production.
