*Z Snaps all over these pics!*
Werrrrrkkkkk! Marlo Hampton!
The socialite and friend to the very rich Nene Leakes graced the cover of DENIM magazine. Rocking Louboutins, Chanel, Giuseppe Zanotti and much more - Ms. Hampton looks extremely fierce in these photos, with her hair LAID from Ms Lawrence himself.
Marlo, who was a recurring guest on the fourth season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta will not be featured in the new season. Even though I think she should be, shake a couple people up like Kenya Moore.
The holidays is looking very rich for Marlo Hampton this season as she sits down with the magazine to talk about her sense of fashion/style, her friends and all things Marlo! Read her exclusive interview after the JUMP!
So what or who made you love fashion as a teen?
"As a teen I was in and
out of foster care; so having the best fashion was something that seemed
unattainable. I didn't win Best Dressed, but I understood at an early age I
couldn't afford certain kinds of clothing when I was growing up. But, what I do
remember about my mother was that she loved nice things. At times, when we did
get clothes; we would get them from a second hand store. And she always kept us
clean and extremely polished.
What designers can
you not live without?
"I think this may be sort of obvious, and a little birdie might have let
you know... all things CHANEL. I am very partial to their clothes because CoCo
Chanel was an Orphan. I can relate to that. She didn't have parents to raise
her, but look at what she's overcome. Her story reminds me of mine. She had
humble beginnings but Chanel is the Queen of Fashion, all of their pieces are
classy and timeless!
What designer
would you want to collaborate with on a collection? Would it be high end or
price friendly?
"I would love to work
with the designers of J. Crew. Their pieces are simply stunning and they have a
good mix of everything. Our collection would be what I call "Fashion
Affordable.” Nice pieces, for an affordable price, with great style, trend but
quality material. There would be something for everyone. We all deserve a piece
of Marlo."
How many handbags
do you have?
"Now that is a tough
question. I haven't counted, but I do know too many for sure ... actually, I
take that back; a girl can never have too many bags"!
What is the most
you have ever spent on a bag or was gifted?
"I am always working on
my etiquette, lol and a lady never tells prices unless you want to buy one
yourself. However, my crocodile Hermes Birkin is my most expensive
handbag"!
What fashion
accessories does a women need to be fabulous?
"The one accessory that
EVERY women needs to be Fabulous is CONFIDENCE. it's the one accessory that's
Priceless. Money can't buy it and as long as you wear that; nothing else
matters"!
Would you ever
give your daughter or son a Birkin bag?
"I would absolutely gift
my daughter one under one condition, that it was EARNED! A Birkin is way too
expensive just to "give" so if she earned a college degree, was
getting married, or achieved a milestone in her life worthy of such a nice
bag" Every woman deserves at least one nice bag whether it's a Birkin or
another bag of their choice.
Have you ever seen other girlfriends' collections of shoes or bags and
felt I have nothing on theirs
"I don't covet anyone's
achievements or closets! Lol! I applaud all women who are enjoying their
luxuries and if they have great taste, then we need to go in to their closet
and play dress up with a glass of wine and have a good time"!
Last year, you
took one of your best friends Daniel/stylist/ assistant to Paris for
Fashion-Week. Tell me how was it to do that for someone else who is as
passionate as you are about fashion?
"It was amazing and truly
rewarding for both of us. Being a lover of fashion, Paris Fashion-Week is
something that is a must. I spent a week in London and then Daniel came over to
join me in Paris for an additional week. We shopped until we dropped
(literally) or until my cards daily limit was reached. lol. His eye for fashion
is amazing; not having him accompany me in the fashion capital of the world
seems absurd. We were treated like royalty and I can't wait to do it all again
soon"!
I understand you
gave 20 families turkeys along with meals through your Simply Giving campaign.
What are you doing for Christmas?
"It’s my way of “Simply
Giving Back” to families during the holidays or a special time of the year. I
was able to bless 20 needy families for Thanksgiving with a full meal and all
the fixins. I will also be giving back during Christmas and recruiting my Glam
It Up girls to show them what it means to give back and do good service at at a
soup kitchen"
Like most other
women around the world is Vogue magazine your second bible?
"Hmmm, while Vogue is an
amazing magazine which I read monthly, I would have to say it’s a fair toss-up
between Harper’s Bazaar and Elle. Let’s just consider each publication as a
different book in the fashion bible."
What was your
first high-end buy?
"My first high-end buy
would probably have to be a Gucci bag in college. It was very special at the
time because I worked for it, saved my money and bought it!
Since we are in
your closet right now give me one fashion secret that you can’t live without?
"ELECTRICAL TAPE. It’s an
instant breast lift without surgery. Makes your Breasts look real nice and
perky"!
