NYFW Gallery Showcase of Designer ese AZeNABOR-2015

Esé Azénabor’s designs are inspired by the arts and her culture. They are daring, luxurious, extravagant, and shows her artistic side through her beading and attention to detail.
As the saying goes, Nigerian born Canadian transplant Esé Azénabor got to Texas as fast as she could. Her arrival on the fashion scene, however, required a few additional detours. But we think you’ll agree her creations were well worth the wait.

Hailing from a family who considered fashion design more of a hobby than a career, young Esé had to sweep her creative urges under the rug. The Azénabor name was grounded in the fields of medicine, law, and engineering, and she, in turn, attended the University of Windsor in Windsor in Ontario, Canada, and majored in accounting. A move to Dallas followed, to pursue a Masters Degree at Southern Methodist University, detoured to following her dreams and started designed handmade dresses for her self, friends and family. Since she was a little girl, Esé held to her mother’s belief in her talent for creating wearable art.

In 2012, without any financial assistance, this self-taught designer traded predictable college life for the wild world of fashion with the launch of her Self Titled ready-to-wear line. At her sewing machine, she conceptualized her fascination for heavy hand beading, crocheted lace, exquisite fabrics and embroidery. Inspired by a combination of vintage, African, Egyptian, and contemporary European influences, she merged cultures to create her debut of her Haute-Couture and Ready-to-wear luxurious collection. Esé has now debuted three collections and teamed up with her sister Dosé Azénabor to create her most recent SS15 Collection and today they are now partners for the fashion Label.

Esé Azénabor’s goal is to empower women through the art of fashion.

Oudifu Fashion Show at Mercedes Benz NYFW-2015

UDIFU is a Shanghai-based affordable luxury brand of ‘ready-to- wear’ woman’s apparel begun by it’s founder & creative directive Zhuliang Li in 2006.

In classical China’s 2300 year core, there is a philosophy that man is an integral part of nature. A strong expression of this ancient Chinese theory is the human lifestyle following up on the rules of nature, combining itself with it’s subject on an essential, serene, and ecstatic order.

Zhuliang Li is so strongly inspired by this belief that he adapted it into his fashion by designing a unique ‘all-in-one style’, for all body-types, in subtle sophisticated detail with distinction in silhouette. Li’s design and style emphasize on the relaxed, spontaneous, pleasant awareness. When you put ‘OUDIFU’ on, you bring modern humans closer to nature.

In 1981 at age 11, Zhuliang Li, the 7th of 8 children, was sent by his parents to a tailor to learn the fundamentals of design. Zhuliang Li never went to fashion school. This was how and when Zhuliang Li began his fashion passage, detailing styles for various individuals, as well as face-to-face communication with the customer, bequeathing himself with a deep sense of consciousness for different female body type configurations…their shapes, needs, and wants.

Accordingly, Zhuliang Li, gained numerous industry awards including CQGC ‘Best Fashion Brand 2009’, ‘Top 10 Chinese Fashion Designers 2011’, and ‘Top 10 Fashion Brands Shanghai International Fashion Festival 2012’.
His retail stores number 250 in major Chinese cities and markets.

Exclusive interview with Beverly Johnson Black Supermodel- 2014

World Liberty TV fashion team had the pleasure of interviewing Beverly Johnson at the Emerge Fashion Show where she was honored for this year’s Fashion Innovator Award.
Born into a middle-class family in Buffalo, New York, Johnson was a champion swimmer in her youth and aspired to be a lawyer. She was studying political science at Northeastern University when she tried modeling. She quickly landed an assignment with Glamour and began working steadily. She went on to appear on more than 500 magazine covers, including her groundbreaking Vogue cover in August 1974. Her appearance on the cover changed the beauty ideal in US fashion, and by 1975, every major American fashion designer had begun using African-American models.

In addition to modeling, Johnson has also written a book, Beverly Johnson’s Guide to a Life of Health and Beauty, and embarked on an acting career. She has also had roles in the films Ashanti (1979), The Meteor Man (1993), Def Jam’s How to Be a Player (1997), and Crossroads (2002). She has appeared in guest spots on several television series, including Law & Order, Lois & Clark: the New Adventures of Superman, the Parent ‘Hood and the Super Bowl episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun (1998). She served for two seasons as a celebrity judge on the TV Land series She’s Got the Look, a reality series, where women over 35 compete for a modeling contract and magazine spread. At the start of the series in 2008, Johnson shared that she and other models had suffered from anorexia and bulimia during her career. She had a brief singing career, releasing one album in 1979 on Buddah Records.

Johnson has been a longtime hair and beauty influencer. Beginning with the Beverly Johnson Eyewear Signature Collection in Sears Optical (1991-2002) to her Beverly Johnson Wig and Hair Extension Signature Collection (1996-2011), she was among the first supermodels to cross into the business of fashion.

Exclusive Interview with Sheynnis Palacios Miss Universe -2023

Sheynnis Palacios is a 23-year-old mental health advocate and audiovisual producer from Managua, Nicaragua. She usually prefers to be behind the camera, but she’s come out of the wings because she believes in finding solutions for as many of the world’s problems as she can.

As a problem-solving kind of person, she put herself through the communications program at her university by working in her mom’s snack business.

When the business faltered in an economic crisis, her mother migrated north to find a better job, and she became the economic and emotional support for her grandmother and young brother. Her cause this year will be mental health, which stems from her own experiences with anxiety.

Coming from a country where this issue is rarely addressed, she started an accessible initiative called “Understand Your Mind,” in which she interviews a specialist on emotional care in her television segments.

She has also produced events and other audiovisual projects on this theme. Her goal in life is to work in the service of humanity, by running a newsroom and producing content and commercials for international brands.

In her spare time, she rescues cats and dogs, and loves a good mental game and puzzle. Miss Nicaragua Sheynnis Palacios won the Miss Universe competition late Saturday night in El Salvador, the first to wear the crown from her country.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Miss Universe 2023, Sheynnis Palacios at the Empire State Building New York city on the 86th floor. See her exclusive interview in our World Liberty TV , Fashion Channels by clicking here.

NY Pride Parade NYC-2025

BY: Adal Hussain, Chief  Editor. 25th St 5th Ave NYC  June 29th 2025

NYC Pride | Heritage of Pride, a longtime national leader in LGBTQIA+ Pride organizing and advocacy, announces its official theme for 2025.

“Rise Up: Pride in Protest.” As the LGBTQIA+ community faces increasing hostility and legislative attacks, this year’s theme is a reflection of the Pride movement’s origins in protest—and is a powerful call to action for our communities and allies to rally and march in defiant celebration, advocacy and solidarity.

“Rise Up: Pride in Protest” meets the moment before us and honors the legacy of the first Pride March in 1970, which commemorated the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.

“This year, more than ever, we acknowledge that Pride can be celebrated in many ways, but at the heart of our mission, we recognize that we must also remain steadfast in protest,” said Kazz Alexander, NYC Pride Co-Chair.

“The challenges we face today, particularly in this political climate, require us to stand together in solidarity. We must support one another, because when the most marginalized among us are granted their rights, all of us benefit.

The NYC Pride 2025 calendar includes the annual NYC Pride March, among the largest LGBTQIA+ Pride marches worldwide, and PrideFest, the largest LGBTQIA+ street festival in New York, on Sunday, June 29.

NYC Pride also offers a diverse array of year-round opportunities to gather through our Pride365 programming, ensuring that our activism and community impact extends beyond the month of June.

NYC Pride had many events in 2025 and Grand Marshals, who embody the spirit of resilience and activism during Pride Month and beyond.

NYC Pride’s 2025 Pride Gives Back grant awards, which support local nonprofits and initiatives serving the LGBTQIA+ community, will also be announced soon.

NYC Pride is made possible through the support of community members and allies. To sustain our mission and continue advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights.

Many political leaders were in attendance, which included Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James , Zohran Mamdani , NYC Democratic Mayoral Candidate, New York City Comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, New York City Public Advocate, jumaane williams, Council Members, Senators and many more community leaders .

Jessica Tisch, New York City Police Commissioner, alongside Det. Brian Downey, Gay Officers Action League to protest NYC Pride March over uniform disagreement.

GOAL wants to participate in the March while wearing their full police uniforms, which means carrying concealed firearms.

Heritage of Pride, the nonprofit that organizes NYC Pride, says that goes against the weapon policy for the Pride March and offered a compromise – letting GOAL march in uniform but without carrying their service weapons.

“Members of our organization and our community feel that we need to be safe in the March and in the space that we are inhabiting together. That means no weapons,” Heritage of Pride co-chair Kazz Alexander said in a statement.
