Fashion school moving to new, comfortable digs

By Keisha P. Crabtree 1 year ago

Jamileh Kamran and Arkansas Fashion School — the education center founded by the couture designer in 2007 for budding clothing creators — are on the move.

Undine, who is originally from the fictional Apex City, Iowa, and who marries into the old-world Marvell family, is the perfect embodiment of such aspirational consumerism. And Wharton, who was born into a prominent New York family and was the beneficiary of not one but three legacy inheritances over the course

Salma Hayek continues to live her best life in 2021.

The 54-year-old actress shared yet another bikini photo on Tuesday. Posing both in and out of the water beachside, apparently finding zen in both places, she wrote, “We need to keep our cool.”
