Lease on Life Society. (L.O.L.S)

Recently, I've (Nneoma) done a shoot for a new and upcoming line called Lease ON life Society. This line was actually created by a friend of mine named Ev Bravado . What is Lease ON Life Society about? " Lease on Life Society is your perception on life, it is molding your life to what you want it to be. What makes you unique." -Words by the creator/founder himself Ev. Have a tumblr? Be sure to follow the official Lease on Life Society tumblr.http://leaseonlifesociety.tumblr.com/ Here are some pictures from the shoot, taken by a skilled photographer Joey. Also be sure to look out for Lease on Life Society's Spring 2011Collection !

The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last. - George Bernard Shaw


Nneoma went retro 80's babyy & Sade opted for a sheek grunge.


Nneoma's accessories portray her love for the 80's . From the huge gold 'door knockers' to her bright teal leggings. 

- 80's wind breaker (Mom's closet)
- Cotton teal leggings (H&M)
- Yellow watch (G-shock)
- Drape necklace
- Gold hoops
- Black scale docs (Dr. Martens)

' She's Bangin ! '


- Oversize wool sweater (Mom's closet)
- YSL tee (YSL boutique)
- Electric blue docs (Dr.Martens)
- Bandage skirt (Urban Outfitters)
- Faux fur purse
- Adrienne Vittadini scarf hanging from purse


Her huge oversize black wool sweater commands attention !


Style is primarily a matter of instinct. - Bill Blass


Scarf: Made by his mom :) (knitted(
* Just because its cold doesnt mean do away w. your scarfs' . They are just as much as an accessorie as sunglasses . 
 Shirt: Joy Rich
* Light weight for the warming spring, a nice jacket could top it off on a chilly day


This Winter has been BITTER + Harsh; however, It wont be this way for long. 
In no time Spring will come creepin in w. its rainy days & warm winds. 
With that being said it will soon be time for fella's to put their wool pea
 coats in the cleaners until next year. A friend of ours (mine & nneoma), Corey Smith
has already started preparing for the spring season ... 

                   
      

                     

Shoes: Moccasins (Sperry)
* What can I say ? your shoes this spring should be laid back yet clean 'cut' fellas. The rider boots in the winter were extravagant enough. This cool grey complements Cory's outfit .

I would describe my style as being called evolution, its something that changes over a period of time for sure, I'd say I express the way I feel in the way I dress, I show a sence of fearlessness as well as confidence in the way I dress.

There is just one life for each of us: our own. - Euripides

Our first style of the week is Jay Craft, a young black male with vision and style . I'm not sure how to define is style; however, something about him stands out amongst the rest. If you feel you have what it takes to be style of the week feel free to email us at sadenneoma1@gmail.com with your best photos (outfits preferred) and why you feel your fashionable & different.


1. Who inspires your style & why ? My biggest inspiration is New York City.  I like cultural inspirations because its a conglomerate of what is taking place in many places & a viewpoint of what many different people classify as art.  New York is a melting pot of many cultural themes & expressions.  As an artist, I really try not to look to others for inspiration because I feel as if it dilutes my vision.  Styles I admire are Andre 3000, Russell Brand, Steven Tyler, Pharell & warriors I.e. samurai's, sultans etc.
2. If you could wear an item or accessorie all year round what would it be? I've been fortunate enough to live in a city where I've encountered incredible artist's with distinct visions. When it comes to anything I wear, I like to find pieces that are geared to what I want to portray.  This leads me to buy things in limited production, alter things, vintage shopping & w.e.  I'm not the type 2 cop a pair of LV shades just to be down.  I got a bracelet made to resemble a barbed wire affect by a great friend of my named Soull.  Her line of jewelry is called Alkemi9.  She's dope, she is who I turn to when it comes to Crafting for the Craft lol.
3. How do you describe your style? It's really hard to define a style, because I don't feel like I fit into a category in any aspect of my life, so I can't really place a label on it.  If I had to describe it in 5 words I'd say dynamic, ambiguous, eclectic, intrepid, kinetic.
4. Tell us anything.. (Hobbies, interest, dreams, aspirations etc.)  All of my ambitions are artistic.  I'm solely focused on career progression & legacy.  I've been working on Acting in theater since Jr. High.  The past 3 years I've ventured into film & television with modeling on The Tyra Banks Show & partying in an episode on How to make it in America along with other progressive but humble beginnings in other productions. I'm currently seeking representation & freely working on style ventures & choreography & music production.  I just wanna live & breathe art in any way for as long as I live.  I definitely have the ambition & interest, I guess I'm just focusing on the access.
