One of our faves, model Ajak Deng relaxing in her Nike Sky High Dunks with a couple of model friends. Look at dem gorgeous faces.

As relentlessly tough as it’s been for models of color on the runway over the past few years, we see signs the tide is starting to turn. And if clueless mega labels are the last to figure it out then so be it. You reap what you sew.

For a long time I shunned the idea of the platform sneaker, not quite seduced by the proportion they create.My recent  discovery of the Kobe Husk ‘Bounster’ Sneaker is about to change that. But apparently , I’m late they’re almost sold out at Solestruck in black and white.

Beyonce created a bit of a stir earlier in the year when she was spotted in a pair of “Rachet” earings, the title of a song she’s said to be working on with Lady Gaga, among others. With a little nudge from her friends at Miss KL, Melody Ehsani was ispired to make her own version of the look, shown above. Now available for pre-order on Miss KL with a January 29th ship date.

Looking flawless as always, Jennifery Lopez lands of the cover of Harper’s Bazaar February 2013 issue, as shot by Katjia Rawles on locatio at the Ciragen Palance Hotel in Instanbul. At the time of the shoot, Lopez was in the midst of an international tour accompanied by her two twins, Max & Emme, her mother, Guadalupe, and her boyfriend, Casper Smart. Discussing her style, Lopez comments:

Over the past two decades, she has evolved from a “boyish, hip-hoppy sensibility: big hoops, sneakers, tank tops, and my big curly hair. When I got into the business, I developed a love of monochromatic looks.” But then she “added that sexy element to it. Then it was classic things, movie stars, Jackie O. And now,” she says, exhaling, “all of these things mixed together, that’s my style.”

What we have always loved about fashion is it’s potential to bring joy. We as HighSnobette editors feel so lucky to not only have witnessed many of these special moments but to also have come to know and watch grow many of the artists and designers behind some of our favorite projects. Below in no particular order we share what we regard as some of the best, joy-bringing efforts of 2012:

Designer Melody Ehsani’s star has been on the rise for quite some time now, but her “Queen of the Jungle” necklace (above) in many ways stamped her official arrival. We lost count of the stylish celebrities spotted in this vivacious fun piece.

Leah McSweeney has always been a force of personality. She literally is the MTTM brand, as backed by an intensely loyal supporting staff + fan base. Like many young brands the label went through its stumbles when investors pulled out, but the tenacious McSweeney was able to hold on to the name and this year the label found its own inimitable stride again, as marked by the brand’s “Supreme Bitch” snapback cap, which received the blessing of none other mega-style star Rihanna.

See many more “bests” on the next page. And a very Happy New Year to all. Thank you so much for your support in 2012.
