The Fashion Designs of Diana Ross

From casual to high fashion, Diana Ross created 50 outfits as the costume designer for Berry Gordy's 1975-directed film, Mahogany, where Diana also portrays the lead character, Tracy Chambers, an aspiring fashion designer from Chicago who finds success as a supermodel.

In a 1976 interview, Diana stated:

"I begged to design the clothes [in Mahogany] because in high school I majored in fashion design and costume illustration. I had a pretty good background in that. That’s what I thought I wanted to be. Singing was fun for me. I enjoy doing it. Then when the movie came along, I said: ‘That would be great research for me to do the movie. I could spend time finding exactly what a designer has to go through to make a collection.’"

After convincing Berry, Diana went on to commit 8 months to researching and completing those 50 designs. For the looks in the Asian-inspired fashion show at the end of the film, Diana was inspired by little paper kites she saw in a shop in Los Angeles.

Here's more of her costume illustrations, which she included in her 1977 concert program, An Evening With Diana:

One Dress a Day Challenge

May: Purple Redux

Mahogany / Diana Ross as Tracy Chambers

I read that Diana Ross designed her own costumes for this film, and I think this one is a stunner! It has a suggestion of 1930s glamor with its sleek lines, trailing scarf, and bare shoulder. The viewer's eye is pulled upward to the turban and, of course, that amazing dyed fur.

Christmas with a Kiss movie

Mona Sinclair, a social media influencer returns home in Milton to help with her family's Annual Christmas Carnival. Mona runs into an old friend and a few surprises. Mona lives in NYC and just had a 2nd date with a guy she met on a dating app. While she believes they had a strong connection and invites him to travel back home with her, he is left with this goofy look on his face and then surprises her with some shocking news of his own.

Mona was shocked, speechless and couldn't believe what she had just heard. LIKE, come again?!?!?! WHAT SIR

After that interesting encounter, Mona heads to her home town of Milton. A very small town where everyone knows each other.

The scenes in this movie are so beautiful.

The red, greens and gold colors throughout the movies reminds us its definitely Christmas season. Mona's family's home is Christmas cozy ready. Christmas everywhere. They went all out y'all! AND...we can't forget about Mona's wardrobe. LET's talk about it. Mona's wardrobe is elegant, red coats(I Love) - see pics for more of Mona's wardrobe

pics via #Hallmark Channel

Mona's clothes are everything! Let me find out where I can get these items. AND her makeup is flawless, right??!??

Mona is happy to be back home with family. She runs into her ex-boyfriend(Fletcher) from high school as soon as she arrives. They are happy to see each other and already making plans to link up on a date. WOW, that was fast.

But hold on! Lets throw some curve balls in here, cause once Mona makes it to her family's home, she finds out a magazine reporter(Dez) is there to do a story on the family and family's carnival- and her sister already has ideas to fix Mona up with Dez. sigh

Dez is slick, tall dark and handsome. Mona is surprised how good Dez looks. But that doesn't stop the awkward meet up and perhaps Mona and Dez may have gotten off to a rough start here. LOL

Dez dosen't matter to Mona at this point, since she is falling for Fletcher all over again.

Dez can still impress Mona and the family as his dad is listed as high rank in the military. Mona's sister's husband is away in the military trying to get home. There's a connection here.

Let's get back to Mona and Fletcher. They talk about what happened in the past, and decide to move forward.

Mona's family not too thrilled with the reconnection with Fletcher & Mona...lol (isn't he the guy that stopped calling you??) Mona's family seems to likes Dez and he's really good with Mona's sisters kids. Could this win over Mona and the family??

As the family prepares for the carnival, mom and dad have a very special request for the sisters. Things get interesting from here on.

As Dez has his own reservations about what Mona's career is, he is starting to see the real in Mona and respect her work more and more. Not only that, but he sees something special with Mona. Could this be the beginning to a connection?? Welllll

I love how the sisters are so close and give each other advice. They have a great relationship and I'm glad to see it. Many times we see movies where there is all this drama amongst the family. Not the case here. Thank goodness....

It's interesting that when Dez is asked about the article he is writing he always have this weird look on his face as if he's hiding something. Curious to see what he's up to, cause he can't be this perfect....right?!??!

While Fletcher and Mona have seen each other a few times now, they can't seem to have that special moment. There are always interruptions. Could this be the universe trying to tell them something?

Dez and Mona are "getting to know each other" sort of. Dez is the family favorite, but Mona thinks he's a bit judgemental. Fletcher is not the family favorite, as they think he's still a bit flaky.

Let's talk about the star of the carnival - THE ANNUAL SINCLAIR DANCE. The dance is the last event of the carnival and it's where the magic happens. It's a tradition that love family friends and a touch of magic.

Will Mona have magic with either of the guys - Fletcher or Dez?

There are some twists here. Just when you think one guy has won over Mona, more disappointment comes around.

Will Dez and Fletcher show their true colors? Will Mona be able to see things clearly? Does she have her family's support and advice?

We can tell you this, the barn is so beautiful. That's where the Annual Sinclair Dance is held. It's magical! Mona is gaining a new appreciation for her hometown...thanks to Dez

The ending is the best, it's where all the magic happens: the Dance. As the story comes to an end, questions get answered, we find out more about mom and dad's request. Decisions are made. And in the same Milton carnival tradition that happens at the dance...magic happens. But with whom? Is this a true love story ? I think so

This is one of the best Christmas #HallmarkMahogany stories on Hallmark Channel. It has everything. Love, disappointment, lies, and magic, but no real family drama(which I'm ok with).

I whole heartily recommend this movie. It's the best Mahogany Hallmark Christmas 2023 movie I've seen. The writers and directors just get it right with the look and feel of the story. From the colors to the scenery and wardrobe. You will be able to feel the love Milton has for the residents and the grace and magic the story has in it.

Cast: Ronnie Rowe Jr. (Dez), Mishael Morgan (Mona), Jaime M. Callica (Fletcher)

Oooh girl, did you see Diana Ross absolutely slaying at the finale of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert last weekend? (There’s widespread speculation Ross was lip-syncing but let’s not go there!). Well, in celebration of Pride Month, the Lobotomy Room film club (our motto: Bad Movies for Bad People), presents ultra-camp melodrama Mahogany (1975) starring the fiercely glamorous pop diva and perennial gay icon on Thursday 16 June 2022 downstairs at the fabulous Fontaine’s bar in Dalston! Admission: FREE! And did I mention the £5 special offer cocktail menu and complimentary popcorn? Attendance is a must! Full details here.

DIANA ROSS CONCERT & MOVIE POSTERS (1965-2013) - SOUL MUSIC CONCERT POSTERS (Part 4/10)

Lady DIANA ROSS can too easily be overlooked in the Soul Music genre as Too Pop, too thinned voice...yet The Supremes under her leadership was the most successful female Group of all times (not even comparing with Destiny’s Child) with too many Pope and Soul Hits. Still Her solo albums between 1970 and 1979 are all amazing pieces of Soul Music, stylish, lush, allowing her to express so much emotion. A favorite of mine.

Above is a selection of several vintage concert and movie posters (click on each image for details).

Kayla (Skye P. Marshall) heads back to her hometown of Stoneville, North Carolina, after her substitute teaching job at an elite, private high school comes to an early end. On her first day back, her loving yet inquisitive mother (Maria Howell) sets up a job interview at her high school alma mater. Kayla, who ultimately wants to get into a competitive teaching program in London, is hesitant to apply. However, when she is offered the job on the spot, shortly after learning that her high school best friend Tanya (Brittany L. Smith) is a teacher there, she quickly accepts. When Kayla initially struggles to connect with her students, Jordan (Tobias Truvillion), a jack-of-all-trades teacher who is devoted to supporting underserved students, steps in to help. Though reluctant to accept his input at first, she is soon inspired to try a fresh approach to help each of her students tap into their unique artistic passions and her students begin flourishing. When Kayla learns the school may be cutting the arts department due to budget cuts, she and Jordan work together to set up a fundraising showcase, with a little help from her longtime friend Shanice Wilson-Knox. Soon, sparks are flying between Kayla and Jordan as they discover a shared love of teaching, service and Sidney Poitier movies. However, when Kayla receives some teaching opportunities that would take her away from Stoneville – and Jordan – she finds that her heart may still have a few things to teach her about what will make her happy.
