Editors Note always

This summer review issue was a blast! We had so much fun working with everyone to make this come together. We were lucky enough to build this issue with a great team of people; both inside and outside the the FStyle Team. We cannot make this happen without our community behind us. To everyone who stepped up and worked hard to ensure the success of this issue - I salute you for your time and patience. I can’t thank you all enough!

One of the advantages we have at FStyle Magazine is that we are afforded the opportunity to speak with people who are presently redefining our culture. At times - certain life moments make us proud. At times - certain life moments make us sit back, shake our heads, and say “What is this? What are we doing?” These are the moments that we need to not sit back, not shake our heads, but rather take action. We can be the change we want to see in the world! I’m honored to have worked on this issue. FStyle Magazine has 12/F-STYLE CHICAGO /

been about the change makers and the trendsetters that don’t sit back - they are the change. Individuals who are on the very cutting edge, forging a path, and making their own way - not accepting the status quo. We are confident this issue narrates a story of the challenge to success.

This issue is dedicated to the re-definers! This issue is dedicated to - the Vic Mensas, the Lawrence Lee Wallaces, the Eric Lanes, the William Edward IIIs, the Semion Hendersons, the Maja Hamptons - of the industry. This issue is dedicated to ones who are the beacons of light in their city - the ones that go beyond dreaming and execute their plan. We see you rising! We hope you continue to grace our pages on your journey to show others the way. IT’S POSSIBLE! Much love to you all - and much respect.

Also I have to give a very special thank you to one of the models who I so wish to work with that is not only in the U.S Army and beautiul, but she also is a writer and editor who will be helping t edit the publication moving forward. , thank you Ms. Jasie Kelch you are truly appreciated Marcus Fizer FStyle Magazine

Never have you seen this done in anyother communities, which further shows

just how deep the situation of the injustice African Americans face in this country.

Now more than ever we must stay woke, we must start to be proactive instead of always reactive. What I mean by this is simply hold more community town hall meetings, stemming from you community block clubs. Teach your children the 16/F-STYLE CHICAGO /

value of money and political power both nationally and international.

Have a plan for your home for always finding ways to have passive income stream lines as you make plans to become business owners or investors. Now with these plans we become an political and economic power house that can bring real strategic change and not band aid fixes. This one young man should not have been the only one addressing this issue but we are glad he did.

Now its time for everyone to step up and take their lane in finding solutions long and short. We can do this but it will take effort and commitment.

LOVE

Let’s learn about

We all talk about it and when you

look on social media we all see how many people mess up trying to live in it. The question is for those who try to obtain it, how many books do you read and study on it personaly and has the one you decided to give your heart to, have they did the same? Its one thing we really have to start being more faithful to, so to offer a bit of guidence we pray this article will offer some guidence and begin healthy discussions and reading for healthier relationships, families and communities.

Here are the 5 stages of love: Stage 1: Passion and fun.

You meet the man or woman of your dreams and fall head over heels in love with them. You think about them all the time and love spending time together. You learn about each 30/F-STYLE CHICAGO /

other’s experiences, interests, and attitudes toward life. You want to try things you wouldn’t normally try. This stage is also known as the honeymoon stage. It’s all about flirting, excitement and passion. You feel butterflies in the stomach, your heart beats like crazy and your hormones run wild. This stage is like a fun game and it tends to be everyone’s favorite.

Stage 2: Getting serious and settling down.

You’re way past the infatuation stage. The love between you is becoming deeper and deeper. You become a couple and commit to each other. You still keep the romance alive, but something has changed. Maybe you’ve moved in together, or even got married and have kids.Making love is still per-

fect, but it’s become more meaningful and profound. You feel cherished, cared for, and protected. And although adult responsibilities just keep piling up, this doesn’t keep you from enjoying love.

In fact, you experience love at a whole new level. Now, everything makes sense. It feels like you’ve started a new journey in your life – a journey you want to last forever.

Stage 3: Disillusionment.

Unfortunately, this is the stage when many couples break up. Things begin to feel off. You’re stuck with your domestic responsibilities – taking care of your kids, paying the bills – a lot of things to worry about. Everything has turned into a routine. You begin to wonder what happened to all those cuddles, kisses, romantic nights, and love feelings. You feel like your partner is taking you for granted. Unimportant things that you didn’t even notice before begin to annoy you.Constant quarrels have taken the place of romance You have mixed feelings which make you doubt if you made the right choice.

You may even start resenting each other and want to call it quits. And sadly, that’s what most couples do.

Stage 4: A deeper understanding.

If you’ve passed stage 3, consider yourself safe. In this stage, all veils are stripped away. You begin to see each other for who you really are.

You gain a deeper understanding of your partner’s problems and insecurities. You acknowledge that they have needs, wishes, and insecurities, just like you. You get better at expressing your needs and desires and you’re more willing to face problems together and work on them. Now, you understand that the real recipe for true love and a meaningful and long-lasting relationship or marriage is mutual understanding, acceptance, and compassion.

Stage 5: Moving forward together.

Now, that both of you have accepted each other’s weaknesses and imperfections along with your strengths and merits, you’ve decided to work together on the relationship, face all difficulties, and stay together forever.

You realize that love is not perfect and it’s never a smooth sailing, but if both of you are headed in the same direction, you’ll always be ready to do your best to keep the love and relationship alive.

We will be bringing in some of the top glamour, fashion and artistic models from around the nation as well as international models from countries such as: Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Romania, Russia, etc, just to name a few to kick off our Workshop series.

Shoots will be done in a controlled environment with every photographer getting quality shooting time in the rotation.

None of the workshops will be shootouts.

These are workshops where photographers can network and learn new techniques....meals, snacks and beverages will always be provided at each workshop.

Professional lighting is provided. All you will need is your camera and a pocket wizard (if you have one, if not, there is usually a couple on site to lend out), and you’re all set.

The meet-up group is designed to allow photographers to share in the cost of bringing in top modeling talent, so that they can improve their skills in a comfortable environment.

Photographers of all skill levels are invited to join. With a mixture of amateur and experienced photographers at all of our events, this provides for great discussions and learning opportunities for all.

Models who will be featured in upcoming events as well as those who wish to be considered among the best in the country are also welcomed to join. We will also be holding model development

workshops in the months ahead, so that less experienced models can grow and learn under the advice of those with years of experience.

Makeup Artists/Hair Stylists/Wardrobe Designers/Stylists are also welcome to join the group. Your services are always needed and this group provides a tremendous amount of networking opportunities.

We are very much looking forward to seeing all of you at the many fantastic events that are planned for the months ahead!!!

Each day he decides if he will “Live or Die” THE WARNING SIGNS ARE THERE BUT TO MOST THEY’RE INVISIBLE

72/F-STYLE CHICAGO /

The story follows this wildly attractive yet very mysterious character named “Sirius”. Sirius is perceived as the typical ladies’ man, but has a dark past that is ever present. Sirius is incredibly charismatic and has an almost magical gift with people, but his past prevents him from creating friendships or meaningful relationships.

This story addresses some issues that have been too taboo to even mention. Sirius has a very complicated relationship with God and border line hatred for organized religion. As a child, he and his mother were thrown out of the church after it came to light his mother was having an affair with the pastor.

The result of this leads to a life filled with drugs, prostitution, molestation, and violence. He is envied by the character “Gary” and obsessed by the character “Cynthia”, both are his co-workers. They make it their mission to find out who he really is.

Eric Lane been a real inspiration for our circle. Recently he was casts for a role in the pilot episode of Fox’s Rel as the character Frank the Barber, which airs Sunday’s at 7:00 p.m. Lane has also appeared in Barbershop, Empire, Chi-Raq the Series, and dozens of other films and TV programs

.

He also appeared in the 2006 film Waist Deep, the lead role in the 2008 direct to video film Tactical, and is the main character in the 2014 short film Night Thrasher:RAVE based on the Marvel comics superhero character Night Thrasher directed by Lawrence Lee Wallace.

He currently plays the role Black Magnum from the Amazon.com series The Girls & Rodney also directed by Lawrence Lee Wallace.

The premiere for the Rel Show was such a special event,at the premiere you saw a sea of family and friends. The who’s who of Chicago all come out to

support this great historic production.

But in a humbling exchange with actor Eric Lane stated that “ I could have done more in the industry but I choose to sacrificed for my family, my daughter because I wanted to take care of my family first, my daughter came first.”

That was a real moment for that actor. So humble to understand what was more important even with the success he is now gaining.

That my friends is a class act. Salute to this actor and we shall continue to follow your progress with support.

One of the things we most like about The Simeon Henderson show is that he is always concerned about the community and providing opportunity to bless individual where he can.

This young man is a high school senior and one of his students that expressed interest in being apart of the media field. Hearing this Simeon invited him out to his show and now got the opportunity to work, learn and meet some of his favorite celebrities in the field he plans to be in.

Profile

Suited Boutique

www.suitedboutique.com I saw that there was a need in my city for my vision and I noticed a niche that needed to be filled. I opened my boutique with the desire to cater to women like myself. Women who want to be themselves without the need to feel like they have to follow the crowd or society’s definition of style.

I wanted to create a brand that lets women know that it is okay to be themselves. Suited Boutique encourages women to be fashionable, trendy, and

stylish, but on their own terms.

For women to express themselves through fashion according to their own standards. Suited Boutique is a play on words where we invite our customers to find something that ‘Suits’ them.

Mix and match our pieces to create a style that is unique for you.

There is no wrong or right way to get dressed when you dress with Suited Boutique! We offer styles that are exclusive and for just about any occasion! Suited

Boutique!
