Adele Slays it on Vogue

She talked about the man  behind the heartbreak album '21' 

 “You know, he was amazing. He was great. But it was never going to work. And for ages I was like, As if he deserves any fucking kudos for inspiring my record. But now, after some time, it only seems right that the person who so far has had the biggest impact on me—has now changed my life for fucking ever with this album—deserves a little credit. I can do things that I never dreamed I’d be able to do. If I hadn’t met him, I think I’d still be that little girl I was when I was eighteen. And the best thing is, I now know what I want for myself and from someone else. I didn’t know what I wanted before.”

As always FAB brings you 200+ pages of fashion, beauty and lifestyle – the unisex bible for all things cool about Africa is packed with potently provocative shoots and captivating content. Be warned though: FAB Magazine’s new issue, the 8th edition of the quarterly dubbed The Power Issue, packs a punch with exclusive interviews from strong sounding celebs like Estelle, Sean Paul, Wiz Khalifa, Stephen Marley and Lira in the mix, and the empowering words of Wole Soyinka talking us through just about everything from power politics of the Arab Spring to the state of affairs in Africa.

Then And Now..

Naomi's First Cover in May 1987...

24 years later...
To Naomi November Cover of Lurve

“In this shoot, we wanted Naomi to look like a modern day Mona Lisa. She’s not sporting the usual long locks that we are used to seeing her with. Our idea was to make her look very different – yet still with an iconic reference. As a black woman, it was such a big achievement to have one of the biggest top models alive on the cover of my magazine. Naomi is the essence of black beauty.”

Teenspot Magazine, Issue 1

Tanzania's new magazine dedicated to Tanzanian youth. Teenspot!

An Interactive magazine for the youth viewpoints, opinions, tastes, styles and so forth are expressed in the language they can understand. 
The magazine’s name isn’t a mere coincidence – it is a meeting spot for the young where they can interact and air their views as appropriate. Teens will be drivers of Teenspot’s magazine backed by bone of our Teenspot team.
The team comprising teens will therefore be instrumental in brainstorming and generation of the ideas for the articles, design and photography of the events of their and mail them to us.
Photos of their individual experiences shared with other teens will be important to us and therefore welcome.

Teens will get an opportunity to showcase fashion, and art and have them on the cover displaying what they deem as their ‘in’ thing (the latest fashion trends).
At Teenspot magazine we wish to grab the attention of many youngsters by providing them with news and information that they may be missing out, and also help to raise awareness related problems to young generation in Tanzania.

We are trying to inculcate reading culture among the youth. A magazine of youth’s is perhaps the best tool.We believe that Teenspot help build up reading skills in a rather entertaining way for the future.
We expect that the youth will be prompted by the magazine to experiment in new ways of judging and understanding situations lot clearer to encourage making of decisions that are wise and safe, such as tips on how to wade through life’s many challenges by making the right decisions in certain situations pertinent to the youth’s lives including technology. It is hoped therefore that the magazine will kill three birds with one stone – to educate, inform and entertain.

Biggest fashion mistake? ‘Oh man, I make them every day, I have so many. I look back on some of my outfits and I’m like: ‘Why did I wear that?
