I’VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU… MELANIE FIONA

Whilst you may find it strange her first and surname are made up of two first names, you’ll soon forget when listening to Ms Fiona’s (see what I mean?) sultry voice. The latest protégé of Steve Rifkind (the music veteran who blessed us with Wu – Tang Clan and Akon (ok, Akon not such a blessing, but hey Mama Africa is a tuuuunnnne!), she has mostly gained a good fan base by opening up the European leg of Kanye’s ‘Glow in the Dark’ tour.

If you regularly tune into ‘London’s No. 1 Station for Hip Hop and RnB’, you will be familiar with the song ‘Give It to Me Right’, Ms Fiona’s debut single. Her debut album ‘The Bridge’ is to be released later this month and as I’m liking the sounds the current single is bringing, I’m feeling enticed to possibly go full hog and get the album.

Citing Sam Cooke, Nat King Cole and Gladys Knight as inspirations for her album, surely the result can only be a gooden?

I’VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU… AMBER ROSE

Apparently Kanye’s new girl, Amber Rose is relatively new to the scene and has started making impressions, but not necessarily good ones if this outfit is anything to go by.

The girl ‘has got back’ for days… (as you can see in the featured picture above)… jeez, my boyfriend is yet to see this. I can assure you when he does, he’ll be packing his bags and moving to LA or wherever it is she resides.

Anyhow, it’s reported she was a former model and stripper. Whichever the case, I’m sure she has a plan on how she will conquered ‘celebsville’, since becoming the ‘Louis Vuitton dons girlfriend, so keep your eyes peeled. To be honest, you would have to be blind and live under a rock to miss her… See below for more pics...

I’VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU… SESSILEE LOPEZ

Discovered by IMG models in New York, Sessille Lopez is sending the fashion crowd into frenzy. Bagging herself a part to star in rapper Kanye West’s Flashing Lights music video last year is impressive (plus he hand picked her), however the fact she’s already graced the cover of Italia Vogue: The Black issue last year is simply, double impressive.

Lopez has been hot property in New York since her debut at a Victoria Secrets event in Miami last year and it looks like she’s here to stay. You go girl.

I’VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU…KESH

Only 21 years of age - this designer, DJ and party queen has got the ‘cool kids’ nation eating from the palm of her hands.

Of Malaysian and Trinidadian parentage and raised in Crawley, the East Sussex resident has been making waves in the fashion industry ever since she was discovered, namely due to Kanye West who approached her regarding her t-shirt label. Taken from a recent interview she said, “he came up to me in a club in New York like ‘Keeeaaash’ and I was like, ‘Er, no, it’s Kesh’ and he goes ‘Yeah that’s what I said’. Anyway we end chatting and he said he’d seen me on MySpace and I ended up dropping a t-shirt to his studio and we sat there whilst Mos Def sang for about three hours”. By this encounter, she ended up forging a relationship with the ‘Louis Vuitton Don’ himself and featuring on the ‘Drunk And Hot Girls track’… Right place at the right time is an understatement.

Regardless of luck, Kesh is a grafter and should be commended on her success thus far. With an established t-shirt label business, (KeShirts) with followers including Lupe Fiasco, Santogold and Mariah Carey, she’s stopped selling online as she is soon to launch her label ‘KESH’ at boutique street wear shops in London as well as New York, Sweden, Japan and Russia. Her aim is for the label to be ‘exclusive’ for everyday people rather than the celebrities. It means so much more going out to buy it, rather than receive it as a freebie – I suppose, however, us PR’s live for the freebies. Best part of the job thanks… Nowadays, Kesh and her label can be seen on the pages of Vogue, ID, Pop, Arena, FHM, Fader and The Independent. At such a young age, she is setting the tone for her fellow ‘age mates’. “You only get one life, you can’t waste it, so you have to go with and work as hard as you can for something you want’. Her work achievements should be an inspiration to us all, including me and I’m 8 years older.
