We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new fashion and beauty column, The Haute Edit, written by none other than Aeliana Honoré—a multi-talented content creator, model, and entrepreneur. With her deep-rooted love for style and beauty, shaped by iconic influences and a passion for empowering others, Aeliana will bring a unique voice to The Voice of Africa.
When asked what inspired her journey into fashion and beauty, Aeliana credits her early experiences growing up on the divas of the 90s and her family’s influence. “My mom and I used to watch a lot of QVC fashion shopping shows together, and she always had impeccable style—big long black trench coats with matching hats in the winter. She kept it chic and classy but bold and memorable,” Aeliana shared. With a father who modeled for GQ, her immersion into fashion from an early age left an indelible mark on her creative spirit. Now, as a model and content creator working with various brands, Aeliana continues to draw inspiration from that classic era, encouraging others to embrace their individuality. “I always go back to that memorable time in fashion of the late 80s and 90s. I try to encourage others to embrace their unique sense of style and just have fun with it.”
Aeliana also believes in the power of personal style and its ability to transcend fleeting trends. “Trends are cool, but your personal style and energy will always elevate any look. I balance by keeping my personal take on a look or trend at the center and just building off of that.” Her grounded approach helps her stay true to herself while navigating the ever-changing fashion industry.
Beyond style, Aeliana’s entrepreneurial spirit is evident in her advice to those looking to break into the fashion and beauty space. She encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to “remember where you are and why you’re there. You were placed on this earth to make innovative and impactful change, so dare to be different.” This ethos reflects in her own journey, where she sees gaps in the industry and works creatively to fill them.
One of the most pivotal moments in Aeliana’s career came when she launched her YouTube channel, where she explores the intersection of faith, beauty, and fashion. “It allowed me to grow my network in the industry and find my voice,” she recalls. This platform also gave her a chance to connect more deeply with her audience and build a supportive community, empowering not just herself but others on similar journeys.
So, what can readers expect from The Haute Edit? Aeliana promises to offer a fresh perspective, taking readers behind the scenes of the beauty and fashion industry, particularly highlighting the richness of the African diaspora. From sustainable fashion to emerging designers, The Haute Edit will provide backstage access at showcases, dissect beauty’s largest campaigns, and push for inclusivity every step of the way. “You’ll grow and evolve in your own personal style journey while having the opportunity to add your unique perspective via question submissions and feedback!” Aeliana says.
We are excited to see the dynamic, interactive experience Aeliana will create with our readers. Stay tuned for thought-provoking insights, stunning visuals, and the inside scoop on all things fashion and beauty in The Haute Edit!
