LOOKBOOK: Yumnah Najah Designs 'La Reine' Collection
I'm always completely floored by those who pour their heart and soul into their passions. Ms. Yumnah Najah is one of those women that I've admired for a while now (remember when I showcased her last major collection?), so I am pleased and honored to present the "la Reine" collection to you.
"la Reine" which means "the Queen" en francais features some of YND's signatures, such as bold colors and bright beading. Najah states, "I had fun creating variety through positioning and repositioning lines in different ways." The collection is also inspired by metallic prints.
Najah also states "La Reine is for the woman who carries herself like royalty and isn't a stranger to bright colors, patterns, and shapes that make a statement. She is comfortable embracing all that makes her unique and she turns heads by exuding an unquestionable presence. This woman is confident and fearlessly stylish."
I am legitimately OBSESSED with these Gold Strike Studs ($28.00)
The face of 'La Reine' is model, designer and artist, Reign Apiim, who was recently featured on Vogue.com "Reign was the perfect fit and a true inspiration for this collection", Najah says. "She embodies everything this collection represents--freedom of creativity and creative expression. She is comfortable with herself to the point where she inspires the people around her to be comfortable and let their guard down. Reign is a true YND woman and a true "queen."
