Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off annually, showcasing designs from the best of the best in the industry. Top models, celebrities, and tastemakers come from around the world to see the latest trends in one of the top fashion capitals. Most view the multi-million-dollar end product of a week's worth of events--- whether from the front row, via the Web, or television---with major focus on the models and designers featured in the forefront. But the ultimate goal of such presentations is purchases and profits, and those behind the scenes ensure that goal is met. Take a look at five black fashion industry professionals making power moves beyond the runway, whether it's behind a lens or in front of it. ---Christian Law

This year I have the honor of attending the annual Black Enterprise Golf & Tennis Challenge on Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 1-5) in Miami. Now, all I have to do is figure out what to wear. The problem is I haven’t played golf in a decade, so for this edition of Suit Your Life, I enlisted the expertise of my golf fanatic friends (a.k.a the pros) to help me put together a stylish and functional golf wardrobe for my weekend under the Miami sun. As I hope for no rain (but am always "boy scout" prepared), here are some of my recommendations to be stylish on the links. See you in Miami. —Gardy V. Guerrier

We’re already in mid-August and I just cannot figure out how this summer went by so fast. If you’re like me, you want to try to get as much out of these last few summer weeks as possible (officially, there’s only six left!!). This means attending every great to decent open air concert, BBQ, rooftop cocktail party, sailing excursion, pool party, beach day, and anything that sounds even remotely summer. In this installment of Suit Your Life, I’ll focus on those key summer items and garments I’ve used and plan to pull out again for every worthwhile activity we have left, including the Black Enterprise Golf & Tennis Challenge on Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 1-5) in Miami. It also doesn’t hurt that most stores are having their end of season sales so you’ll be able to rack up on most of these great items for up to 75% off. Thank me later. —Gardy V. Guerrier
