Mommy-to-be Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles launched their House of Dereon line in London’s high-end department store Selfridges. Beyonce wore a revealing low cut blouse that showed up ample cleavage – no nip slips here! Tina also kept the same color minus the sparkles in a black combination that made her look younger than her 57 years.
The Knowles’ launched Dereon in 2004 and for the first time has taken the brand overseas with an exclusive launch at Selfridges. The collection – see video below – shows off the tribal print trend – also a trend sister Solange has been wearing for some time. We’re sure she had some input along with Beyonce on the direction for the collection. Check out footage from their runway show during London Fashion Week and outtakes with Beyonce and Tina. Are you excited about the collection?
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
