Search vintage archives, flip through old magazines, or scroll Pinterest — you won’t find her there. For decades, poolside leisure and luxury told a narrow story.

THE BLUEPRINT corrects that absence, not with spectacle, but through intentional presence.

Set against the retro backdrop of The Lafayette — a space echoing an era when Black people were often excluded from pools entirely — this series places Black elegance exactly where it should have always been. Not styled to fit, but centered to lead.

Red lips, sunlit skin, and the quiet audacity of ease replace outdated narratives. She does not mimic what was — she redefines what is.

This is not recreation. This is reclamation — a quiet, undeniable shift from erased to essential. A reminder that representation isn’t trend — it’s authorship. And now, luxury speaks her language.
