Ladybrille Magazine Gives American and European Women the 'Africhic' Global
Style and Entertainment They Want


 

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to fashion and
lifestyle products, American and European women enjoy taking risks and setting
trends with products that seamlessly integrate into their lifestyles. Until
now, these women have embraced products from Asia, Europe, and the USA but NOT
Africa. 

Africa has largely been ignored because mainstream coverage of the continent
has failed to show these women products that resonate with them.

Ladybrille(R) Media Group, Inc. breaks the mold with the launch of Ladybrille
Magazine, http://www.ladybrillemag.com, a regularly updated, African-inspired,
aka "Africhic," global style and entertainment website and digital monthly
magazine that stands as the authority on African fashion and entertainment for
the globally conscious style-driven American and European woman.

"Ladybrille Magazine is the first publication to take Africa's global style
and entertainment directly to the Western woman," said Uduak Oduok, company
founder, fashion model, attorney and journalist. "The magazine, which began as
a blog in 2007, is a fusion of WWD, Vogue and ESSENCE with a very distinct
African perspective," adds Oduok.

"Ladybrille Magazine is an important publication," says popular American
actress and comedian Mo'Nique. "It brings African-American women new, current,
and informative information on African culture, that we should be in touch
with, like no other magazine." 

The Magazine features both Africa's unknown and known personalities in music,
film, fashion and the arts worldwide. It also features news, business and
interviews. It was the first to feature exclusives on Nigerian/German singer
Ayo, who now enjoys play time on USA radio stations, Liberia's Maimah Karmo, a
breast cancer survivor who subsequently appeared on Oprah alongside Christina
Applegate and Nancy Brinker, and Liberia's Korto Momolu, an American household
name and contestant from Bravo TV's hit show Project Runway, Season 5. 

"Ladybrille Magazine has taken us out of the shadows and into the light of the
cultural mix of talent that is yet undiscovered, as well as those currently in
the spotlight," says Leslie Asfour, fashion insider, Professor and cousin of
Gabriel Asfour, Three Asfour designer. "Its insights are uncanny and its
ability to communicate it through a visually stimulating format is pushing the
envelope in media today."

"Ladybrille will forever hold a special place in my heart. [It was] the first
[African focused] magazine that reached out to me!" says Korto. "My debut in
Ladybrille sparked a great fuse in my career. I'm confident that it will
continue to uncover and highlight all the 'diamonds' Africa has to offer by
being true and efficient, and in my opinion, one of the leading blossoms of
our time."
