One of the key features of the vintage 50’s swimwear includes high rise ruched briefs, halternecks and one piece swimsuits. Keep your eye out for the newest trends of swimsuits this season and get ready to update your swimwear collection for the new summer season.

Considering her track record, it’s surprising that the advertising and marketing executives over at Cadbury even risked putting Naomi Campbell’s name on their ad. The supermodel is suing over a new ad for the candy company’s “Bliss” chocolate bar which in big bold letters includes, “Move over Naomi, there’s a new diva in town.” According to Independent UK, Campbell says, “I am shocked. It’s upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful.”
Naomi’s mother had a thing or two to say as well about this issue. “I’m deeply upset by this racist advert. Do these people think they can insult black people and we just take it? This is the 21st century, not the 1950s. Shame on Cadbury.” A spokesperson for Cadbury released a statement insisting that the ad was meant as a “light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss,” and also mentioned that Kraft Foods, the company that owns Cadbury has removed the ad and it is no longer in circulation. Take a look at the ad for yourself and tell us what you think.

The beautiful Queen Latifah is at it again and has decided to include “designer” to her lengthy title. Queen Latifah who has always been an avid fashionista herself will launch The Queen collection- a line of clothing and accessories including leggings, jeans, handbags and clip-on extensions on HSN this August. HSN has launched lifestyle brands for some of our favorite celebrities including Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Iman and more. Next up on their Hollywood roster is Queen Latifah who will be launching her collection, Queen.
Her collection will come in a wide range of sizes although the term “plus-size” will not be used because Queen Latifah feels that, “It is a word we need to bury at this point ... I wanted to make something size two and up,” she said. “The truth is, we all would like to wear the same clothes. We all want to wear beautiful, fly clothes no matter what size you are, and so for me it was important to match with a company that understood and respected that ideal.” In fact, it’s one of the reasons she hadn’t tried designing clothes before. “I felt like larger girls were not respected, even though we are huge consumers,” Queen Latifah said. “I felt the marketplace didn’t respect us in the way it should. I was not going to step out with a clothing line that didn’t respect a fuller-figured woman or a curvaceous woman, and really all women.”
According to WWD, all apparel will be priced under $100 and leather goods will cost between $170 and $300. Check out some pieces from her collection below and tell us what you think!
