fashion + Atlanta = The Fukken Foolery (Fashionaires of Atlanta)

Another Day, Another Atlanta Reality Show! This time they decide to focus on the Fashion side of things. Now, let’s be clear! Word from an insider is that this show was around before Kandi tried to do hers. Ummmmmm Hmmmm! Ya’ll remember her fashion show that never made it off the production floor. It’s alleged that the concept was stolen from this show.

Let us introduce you to the Atlanta Fashion Dont’s!

OMS TV, in collaboration with P3K Productions, announced today it’s new series, “Fashionaires of Atlanta,” will premiere Thursday, May 2nd at 7:00 pm ET Exclusively on OMS TV, NuTV Network (Channel 28.1 Atlanta) and Amazon Prime. Set in Atlanta., this new ensemble series will follow the crazy antics of Atlanta’s growing fashion scene. These industry professionals are reshaping and redefining the market, and they do it with a lot of attitude! We will follow the drama of juggling their personal and professional lives, while trying to create an international fashion scene in the heart of the South.

Who the FUCK chose this cast???????? Hell to the NAWL!!!!

KL Allen, @klxtraordinaire, first made a name for himself in the fashion world in 2011. His first fashion show, PERFECTION, was a show unlike anyone in Atlanta had ever seen. With over 400 fashion industry elite in attendance, the show was held inside the Delta airplane hangar, which had never been done before, and it set the bar for fashion shows in Atlanta. Over the last 8 years, his designs have been found on celebrities like Fantasia, Cynthia Bailey, Mya, Kenya Moore, Gospel group Mary Mary, Lil Zane and many more. His work has been accepted into New York Fashion Week, as well as London, Paris, & Milan. His goal is to become the first African-American Haute Couture Designer, and is actively working towards that dream – starting with showing his line at Paris Fashion Week later this year. KL has been in the business long enough that he’s like the patriarch of the group. He knows, in fashion, you don’t get many shots, which is why he’s hand-selected this team to help execute this fashion event. 

Tracia J, @iamtraciaj, is a model in Atlanta. She also has made a name for herself as a host for red carpet events all over, and has become a fixture on the Atlanta socialite scene with rumors of her dating Katt Williams at one point. Although she’s appeared in several national campaigns, she’s been known as an Urban model for years, and wants to clean up her brand and go for more High Fashion Apparel. She and Jordan have become best friends, and he is helping her transition to a more high fashion look. As a result, she became one of the new faces of KL’s fashion line, Perfect Population by KL Allen. She is set out to take her haircare line, Simply Straight By Tracia J, global. 

Jordan Va’Shawn, @jordanvashawn, is the newbie of the group, and he’s also the youngest. At 23 years old, he’s an Image Consultant and Wardrobe Stylist with an impressive client roster, including several stars from the Love & Hip Hop franchises, such as Alexis Skye and Chinese Kitty, but his goal is to continue growing and dress A-Listers as well. He’s looking to really make a name for himself this season, which is why he wants to collaborate with KL. 

Asia Shari, @blow.byshari, is a Brooklyn native and former model who has modeled for Michael Kors, Nordstrom and BET Pretty Girls Rock, just to name a few. She brings her New York fashion state of mind to Atlanta to help take it to the next level. She started building her own fashion line, B.L.O.W (Beauty Lies Only Within), and was recently selected to do Milan Fashion Week. She met KL after modeling in one of his shows, and he quickly became a mentor to her. He helped shape her B.L.O.W line and couldn’t imagine co-creating with anyone else for this fashion show. Fashion is in her DNA, and together, they feel their collection will take Atlanta fashion to the next level.

Darryl “DC” Chambers, @onenonlydc, is an accomplished male model. He was on the cover of Kontrol Magazine with Toccara Jones from America’s Next Top Model. He was recently the lead male in Masika’s (Love & Hip Hop, Growing Up Hip Hop) music video for her new single. Darryl is making his way in the fashion world, while also helping put the Atlanta fashion community on the map. DC hopes to land a national campaign this year, and is hoping that, in success, the PERFECTION fashion show would be a good way to gain media attention for his portfolio. He is dating actress, LaTangela Newsome, from the former Nickelodeon series, Tiana. 

Jhon Pierre Cornell, @jhonpierreintl, is an accomplished Fashion Industry Publicist and Photographer who’s worked with some of the best and brightest in the Fashion and Entertainment Industry. Jhon Pierre made a name for himself as a Fashion Photographer before transitioning over to full time Fashion PR, shooting photos for Drea Kelly (Hollywood Exes), Que from Day 26, Keyshia Cole, and Dr. Farrah Gray. His goal is to take his brand to the next level while working to make Atlanta a Fashion Capital. 

Cashe Royal, @royalfudgestyling, is a Fashion Stylist from Miami, Florida who has styled for some of the biggest names in the industry, which include recording artists Natalie La Rose, Dreezy, Love and Hip Hop Star Shay Johnson, and more recently The Cast of Sister Circle and Recording Artist Syleena Johnson for the cover of Empower Magazine. Cashe brings her Fashion Eye to the group to help elevate the Atlanta’s Fashion Community. 

Natoyia Renee, @natoyiarenee, is a newbie model that has modeled for Asia Shari’s line B.L.O.W. She joined the group in hopes of launching her modeling career in Fashion by being mentored by KL and Asia. She is well known on the Atlanta Nightlife scene, hosting and modeling for prominent nightclubs. 

Donaldo Taylor, @donaldo23, is a Celebrity Makeup Artist based in Atlanta and LA with over 10 years of experience in the Entertainment Industry with a celebrity client roster such as Maya Angelou, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Recording Artist Algebra Bassett, Love and Hip Hop Hollywood, Miss Jessie’s Hair Care, Sister to Sister Magazine, Real Housewives Of Atlanta and the Ellen Degeneres Show, just to name a few. Donaldo juggles being a single father while fastly making his brand a top entity in the thriving Fashion Industry. 

Ryan Christopher, @ryanisstyle, is a Wardrobe Stylist to the stars. He has styled for some of the hottest celebrities in the industry such as Robin Givens, Lisa Raye, Ruben Studdard, Elise Neal, Tami Roman, Dr. Heavenly from Married 2 Medicine along with Day 26 and more recently Masika Kalysha, Shamari and Ronnie Devoe along with TS Madison. He has an keen eye for styling and takes his resume very serious. He has joined the group to propel the Atlanta Fashion Industry into one of the top cities for Fashion.

Only one’s we were able to CONFIRM have a FASHION Career are KL Allen (he happens to be the show creator), Ryan Christopher, and Daryl “DC” Chambers (and he was in “What Men Want.”) For all the other ones, we guess you gotta Ask Jeeves because Google said No Ma’am!


T. R. A. D. E Season 2

K & D Productions and a new App called AGTV (African-American Gay Television) Online has teamed up to bring you T.R.A.D.E Season 2 which is an a spin off of the original series T.R.A.D.E IT ALL. 

Series Overview: In a world where emotions are ferociously explored in private, but in public are evaded mainly due to society’s homophobic stain on its citizens, where events are demoralizing to a specific race or gender, where uncomfortable and uncontrollable statistics burdened a specific sexual orientation devoid of education and prevention, only one web-series truly captures the essence of life on the down-low, while providing a fascinating political and psychological twist. T.R.A.D.E is a provocatively stunning thriller with deep dramatic variations intent on captivating its audiences. Our web-series depicts and showcases profound systemic bias and racism that certain elements of our society embody and utilize successfully to the detriment of others. ​T​he R​eality ​A​bout ​D​own low ​E​xperiences captures the essence of living in the ​LGBTQ community in the twenty-first century along with various hurdles that are yet to be cleared if maximum acceptability is society’s ultimate goal. The main philosophical force behind the writers of T.R.A.D.E is not fame or fortune, which is always welcomed, but instead to educate our communities of the challenges we still haven’t overcome. 

Plot: Following the mysterious disappearance of Atlanta’s most prominent business figure, marketing guru and psychopath, JAMIL CHARLES-STANTON positions himself as the new influential face of the city and in doing so decides to run for the Governor’s Mansion to advance his own special interests. T.R.A.D.E focuses on the psychopathic life of MR. STANTON, 32, the CEO of a fortune 100 marketing firm. Plagued by the murder of his childhood friend and fierce business competitor who’s currently presumed missing, JAMIL strives to assume the title of the city’s most eminent figure. With an insatiable appetite for popularity and power, MR. STANTON engages into a down low relationship with Atlanta’s current mayor and candidate for Governor, MR. ADRIAN POWERS. With the two attached intimately, the mission is to destroy one another to win the election with MR. STANTON stopping at nothing to succeed even if it means murdering whoever stands in his way. T.R.A.D.E is simply a dark gritty psychological crime drama about affluent public figures whose secrets catapult their careers. T.R.A.D.E is Executive Produced By Celebrity Fashion Designer KL Allen and Urban Media Personality DiamondKesawn. The series is written by Dante Black and Sheldon Crawford.  

With the success of LGBTQ Web series, we have been given a platform to have a voice. While there are many complaints about the portrayal of Black Gay Actors being glorified through images of sex, drugs and criminal activities, we want to touch on these subjects not to portray our characters in a bad light but show some of the problems we face in our community as a whole and educate while resolving their issues throughout the entire season.  

This Season we will touch on the following topics: 

 ● Black Lives Matter Movement ● Religion ● Politics ● Mental Illness ● Being A Gay Black Man ● Living with AIDS/HIV ● Being An Angry Black Woman ● Being Labeled A Whore/Golddigger/Sidechick as a Black Woman ● Sexual Abuse ● Being A Black Cop With All The Black Lives Matter Issues. ● Being A Racist 

AGTV (African American Gay Television) Online is a new digital network that will stream Black Gay Content such has Original Series, Feature Length Films and Documentaries. AGTV was created due to the surge in popular web series and films of created by Black Filmmakers who have no major network to take their work to the next level. With AGTV they plan to work exclusively with independent box aspiring Black Filmmakers to bring out of the box LGBTQ content to the network.
