Xquisite Letter from the Editor
Dear Xquisite Readers,
Upon writing this letter, Xquisite has just
finished publishing yet another issue, the third
one to date. Brittany Murata our cover model
from Chicago hopefully has not winded most of
you, we hope! We do have others in this issue
as well. You will read about rapper Zayboi Da
Menace from Augusta, GA tells how it is in the
streets for a rapper “Sometimes you have to
have several ideas rolling in your craft”, Salsa
singer Sol from Bronx, NY who is now a
MOMager, plus we even have FLOTUS Michelle
Obama and fashion diva Anna Wintour as Anna
opens as well as designer Stacy Lawes. Hope
everyone has had their riddim-filled summer
fun. While Fall is now here, we look forward to
yet another hot summer, boy we cannot wait
until next year! It’s the end of summer but that
doesn’t mean the end of the fashion or the end
of music as we have so much to talk about.
Xquisite Magazine cover model Brittany Murata has
toured the country with the ImportFest in the U.S. and
Canada while finding time to take a break in Los
Angeles leaving the natives restless. Salsa sensation
Sol has retired from the music scene, but her daughter
Maxine Ashley who recently signed with Pharrell
Williams to his label “ i am OTHER” is making both
her mother and family proud with a voice that even
catches Beyoncé and JayZ’s attention.
Zayboi DaMenace just released his latest mixtape “Da
Menacetry” and while his summer has been full the
ladies had their hands full as well. Fashion designer
Stacy Lawes will be taking over the production space of
Japanalia. Lawes International Group will be the new
fashion production house for the city of Hartford, CT.
Finally without any delays: Fashion icon and editor for
Vogue Magazine Anna Wintour as our lady of style
FLOTUS Michelle Obama backs her for with yet
another extravaganza in Paris and Chicago. Thanks
