Fashion is truly a lifestyle; and if you’re really into fashion like I am, you know that it’s not just about what you wear and how you wear it. It’s a true circle of life and to be in the real fashion world you have to eat, sleep and breathe it—something I learned long ago. You wake up, head to work to get your day started, but you first stop at Starbuck’s; not to just have a great caramel macchiato, but because it’s hot and in style to drink Starbucks. Everything is a true part of fashion—down to the sheets on your bed. Are they Ralph Lauren or Martha Stewart? Whatever it is, you know it’s a lifestyle. So that’s what this issue is all about—labels and true fashion.

We decided to leave Atlanta and hit the east coast for something different and new. Other than New York, where can you find true style? Los Angeles. Once we stepped off the plane I knew we were on the right track. As you flip the pages of this issue, you will see the fun and extra hints of glamour that were added just for the Style Issue. From our shoot with VH-1’s new breakout star, LaLa, to the young and beautiful Zendaya, star of Disney “Shake It Up.”

The Style Issue is filled with labels new and old from beginning to end. This issue is all about style and how to achieve it while some of the best buys and hottest celebrities fill the pages. We promise not to let you down when it comes to everything FABULOUS!!

Remember Kontrol is style redefined!
