Magazine Cover Me, Please

I couldn't ask for a better start to 2021. While having my clothing on a magazine cover was not at the top of my goal list, I couldn't be happier.
What's funny is it came together real smooth like and without me even knowing.
I've had the pleasure of working with the stylist, Kelli Talley in 2017. Kelli Talley recruited me for New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter in 2017. We kept in touch and remained open to working together in the future.
Kelli asked to pull a few pieces for a photoshoot she was planning. I was more than happy to give her a few pieces. I honestly didn't think much of it as I wasn't a part of the creative direction or the photoshoot.
It New Year's Day and I'm sitting on my couch, Netflix and chilling with bae when I get a text message from Kelli giving me the good news.
The news could not have come at a better time. I consider this a good omen and I'm looking forward to how the rest of the year will develop.
Here are my favorite shots!!


The First Magazine is based in sunny Los Angeles, California. Their purpose is to support photographers, stylist, designers and models alike in realizing their talent. I'm not sure if this issue will go to print or not but I will update you if it does.
I'm grateful and ready for 2021!!!
I wish you a harmonious and fruitful year. Happy New Year!!!!
