Über Designers to Watch: Melody Ehsani

Melody was born and raised in Los Angeles; she's a designer with a passion for both fashion & justice! Her unique accessories have been spotted on celebrities such as: Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, and Nicki Minaj just to name a few. Her love for design has transformed into an outlet for individuals to truly express themselves.

My style is inspired by paradox, controversy, justice and pushing the envelope in showing that you truly cant judge a book by its cover. I design to upset the equilibrium. I design to inspire. I design to serve. I design because I was created to do so.

Über Inspiration: Oprah Winfrey

Here at Überchic we are continuing to honor African Americans by celebrating and acknowledging those from the past, present, and who's got next. It would only be appropriate that we kick this off with one of our favorite media moguls Ms. Winfrey. Oprah is the prime example of breaking boundaries no matter what the color of your skin is. Take a peak below for a quick mini bio and be inspired by her journey to greatness.

Über Inspiration: Willi Smith

In honor of Black History Month Überchic will be spotlighting past famous African American designers, entertainers, and models who have made a major impact on the pop culture industry.

Überchic spotlights: Willi Smith (1948 - 1987)

Born in Philadelphia, PA; Willi Donnell Smith was destined to become what fashion industry considers, "one of the most successful young fashion designers in fashion history".

Williwear was founded in 1976. Around the time of his death his company was selling $25 million worth of clothing a year.

You can see some of his famous work within the famous "School Daze" (A Spike Lee Joint), he designed the costumes!

I don't design clothes for the Queen, but for the people who wave at her as she goes by.

Über Goodies: S&M - Rihanna

Rihanna is the perfect example of where fashion meets entertainment! She takes everything to a whole new level & here at Überchic we LOVE it!!! Check out her new video!!
