Special Edition Dispatch: Winter Renewal

The best in fashion and culture from the diaspora and beyond

Welcome to our Winter Renewal Gift Guide curated by our editorial team for our founding supporters While we are on the cusp of spring, we would be remiss not to round up our seasonal picks across fashion, beauty, and design to add comfort and color during this particularly frosty period. We hope you enjoy!

CERULEAN FANTASY

Drawn to shades of blue, this curation seeks a sense of tranquility quite literally. The goal: how to brighten the day with this very powerful shade inspired by sea and sky. Take a look!

  1. Vestiaire Original La Beninoise Platter $33 In the mood to host? In Cotonou, this incredible store sources an eclectic selection of home goods and accessories. What better way to greet others for a gathering at home than with this eye-catching tray? (Link)

  2. Torlowei ‘Cloud Blue’ Coat $2,300 Known for their lingerie-inspired boubous and evening wear, the mother-daughter team behind Torlowei has been steadily expanding into heavier fabrications, including this silk-lined padded short coat with porcelain lace embellishment — sure to be the fanciest coat of the bunch.

  3. Amy Sherald 'The World We Make Monograph $55 The first widely-available monograph on Sherald features not only her most celebrated and revered paintings, but also original words by Kevin Quashie on aesthetics and politics. The cover itself is a welcome reminder of calm inspiration. (Link)
