This past weekend I spent a good amount of time walking around the streets of Harlem and scouting out my next potential uptown neighborhood of residence. I got to thinking about all the great things that have come out of Harlem- the people, the culture, the Renaissance, my Mom (she grew up there). I adore the subtle cultural elements of Harlem, like it’s distinct architecture and just the overall livelihood of the area. I started thinking about how cool it would be to do a photoshoot there.
Well soon after the thought ran across my mind, I came across these beautiful photos from Vanity Fair‘s September Issue! It features Zoe Saldana channeling the feel of the roaring 20’s. I LOVE shoots like these. Zoe looks gorgeous, her outfits are impeccable, and who wouldn’t want to have handsome black men dressed in SHARP attire as props??
