Yes, just as many of us were getting a bit bored of yet another ‘alternative’ inspired look with its dark colours, leather and lace and beginning to long for something a bit softer and feminine, it seems our fashion prayers have been answered.

For 50 years, the Ebony Fashion Fair fashion showcase was a staple in black communities around the country.

But how many times have you purchased — with high hopes — one of those slim, sexy palettes only to find it months later, barely used, in the bottom of a drawer?
