Meeks first came to fame when his gorgeous mugshot was released to the public. Immediately anyone with two eyeballs could see Jeremy was a very attractive man who could easily use his looks to do something more productive. Nevertheless, now Mr. Meeks is living the dream.

Jeremy hit the catwalk at not just any old fashion event, but New York Fashion Week itself! Yes, the same couture arena where you will find major high end designers. In true New York fashion everyone knows, “If you can make it ‘here’ you can make it anywhere.” Therefore, we are confident that Jeremy is going to be absolutely fine from here on out.

Nonetheless, in reference to the show itself, Philip Plein pulled out all the stops for his NY extravaganza. It all started with his slogan of, “Let’s Make NYFW Great Again.” Making it clear that Plein just wanted to blow all of our minds and he succeeded!

Philipp sent daringly innovative, “in your face” designs down the catwalk with a gang of edgy models and celebrities. Jeremy Meeks, Imaan Hammam, Young Thug, Fetty Wap and Desiigner were just a few of the many familiar faces.

Moreover, Jeremy Meeks got his full modeling stripes posing with Elsa Hosk along with the legendary Carine Roitfeld. Meeks says he feels absolutely blessed for being able to have such an opportunity. We confident this is only the beginning. So then, congratulations again Jeremy you’re in big leagues now.

Coachella will be another one for the history books this year. This is because Beyonce will actually be headlining at the popular music festival making her the first black woman to do so.

Music’s finest are gearing up for one of the biggest nights for the entertainment industry, the Grammys! Of course, every fashionista looks forward to seeing the stars walk the red carpet. However, there are numerous pre-Grammy events that provide plenty of chic sightings. Case in point, a particular star-studded lunch that was held today in Los Angeles, California. See our look of the day: Rihanna Wears Del Poza Spring 2017 Collection to Roc Nation Brunch!

Literally, every one who is anyone made their way to the Roc Nation pre-Grammy Brunch for 2017. Rihanna, Justine Skye, Big Sean, P. Diddy, Remy Ma, Jesse Williams and Jhene Aiko were among the fabulous attendees. There were so many amazing photographed moments that social media erupted with several fun “caption this” postings. We will definitely fill you in all of that action in an upcoming feature.

Nevertheless, speaking of Rihanna, she looked gorgeous! RiRi certainly already has spring couture all dialed in and ready to go. We loved her vibrant ensemble which is from the Del Poza Spring 2017 Collection. Her OOTD possessed just the right amount of drama showcasing a tad bit of skin as well as long flowy design in the back.

Moreover, we also loved her fresh face makeup. Rihanna kept her makeup minimal but incorporated a nice pop of light color on her lips and eyes. The perfect way to create a youthful makeup look for day time events or lunches with the girls.

CFDA Winner Presents Brock Collection AW 2017 at NYFW

Arianne Suggs February 11, 2017February 11, 2017Leave a Comment

One of the shows that we have been anxiously awaiting popped up during day two of New York Fashion Week. We downed a few lattes for energy but didn’t even need to because the show was fantastic! The Brock Collection AW 2017 show is everything fall/winter fashion should encompass.

CFDA Winner Presents Brock Collection AW 2017 at NYFW

Whenever an up and coming designer is recognized by the CFDA of course expectations are high. Winners are viewed as the future of fashion, basically the next generation of American couture creatives. Last year, Brock Collection became the 2016 CFDA Fashion Fund winner and they have once again shown why!

For their Autumn/Winter designs Brock Collections incorporated a very warm, affectionate color palette. Think burgundy, burnt orange as well as delicate neutrals. Moreover, seeing the colors of fall along with furry details just felt so home-y and cozy.

Furthermore, the fashions honestly make you want to just wrap up in a blanket with a hot cup of cocoa. The fur pieces are well executed with the curves of a woman clearly being in a mind. Some fur garments can make you look so unnecessarily bulky. Therefore, we were very happy to see a number of belted designs that allow for a cinched waist.

These classic fur pieces were apart of a collaborative effort between Brock Collection as well as Saga Furs. Team work that certainly paid off well for NYFW. Nevertheless, one final quick aspect we adored were all of the off-the-shoulder looks that were even seen with the furs. In fall and winter we normally think more of the lines of covering up. However, it was a nice twist to see how a little skin can elegantly be added into any autumn/winter wardrobe.

Now that is how you open a fashion show! It was one of the biggest surprises of the first day of NYFW. Naomi Campbell Opens La Perla FW 2017 Runway Show and schools the new generation on how it is really done! Miss Campbell… girl, you better work!

Naomi Campbell Opens La Perla FW 2017 Runway Show

For models there are many honors you can have and experience. There is the opportunity to be a muse in an ad campaign. Also, the possibility of becoming a cover girl with a major editorial spread. However, come fashion week the whole game changes.

Of course, during a model’s career it is always still a total dream in general to walk the catwalk for a designer. Nevertheless, there are two coveted spots a model really wants. The honor to open or close the runway show.

Naomi Campbell stunned all in attendance when she opened the La Perla Fall/Winter 2017 show at New York Fashion Week. La Perla’s Ready-to-Wear collection was alluring, elegant and luxuriously sophisticated. If you are a lover of lingerie and sassy numbers that are “wearable” then you will completely die over the entire fall/winter line.

For her big strut down the catwalk, Campbell wore a glamorous blue slip with lace detailing accompanied by a tailored long deep blue embroidered coat. Campbell’s sexy La Perla number was designed by Julia Haart and styled by Edward Enninful. We also adored her furry black heels which give just the right amount of vixen appeal and are perfect for winter temperatures. All in all an awesome show and its clear that Naomi Campbell will forever be the queen!

Rihanna Designer Adam Selman Showcases Human Bouquet at NYFW

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 10, 2017February 10, 2017Leave a Comment

Every season we think, okay we have definitely seen it all. Trends come and go or get revamped. Yet, in essence there is nothing new under the sun. Well, boy were we wrong! We witnessed true innovation at its finest and feel honored to have gazed upon it in all of its exquisite glory. This was truly what we call a “fashion moment.” Without further ado, Rihanna Designer Adam Selman Showcases Human Bouquet at NYFW.

Rihanna Designer Adam Selman Showcases Human Bouquet at NYFW

Adam Selman always seems to create looks that have us talking about them over and over again. One of our personal favorites is the glitzy number he designed for Rihanna when she received the CFDA Fashion Icon Award. It fit every curve like a glove and oozed old Hollywood glamour. Plus, it sparkled like a teenage dream. In the words of Rihanna herself it did, “shine bright like a diamond!”

The NYFW moment by Adam Selman may not have been glittery but it easily turns heads. Every show everyone always eagerly waits for the opening piece as well as the finale ensemble. This is because usually designers love to begin and end their shows with a bang.

For his finale piece Adam Selman sent what we can best describe as a “Human Bouquet” down the catwalk. Just a total gasp moment! Designers show their love of florals in the form of prints but to see an actual piece made of a gorgeous arrangement is pure genius. Adam, man…you have outdone yourself!

It was a packed out house but we spotted Danielle Brooks, Camren Bicodova and Kat DeLuna front and center. Brooks killed it in typical Chromat couture. Chromat is known for their edgy, strong and sassy aesthetic. Furthermore, many popular pieces by the label include corseted or cage elements and detailing.

Danielle got into formation for Chromat’s NYFW runway show in a sexy caged dress. Her black and white little number accentuated her gorgeous physique showing off her hourglass figure. The actress finished off her look with lace up thigh high heels.

Nicolas K Fall/Winter 2017 Runway Show

Arianne Suggs February 10, 2017February 10, 2017Leave a Comment

The Nicolas K Fall/Winter 2017 Runway Show beautifully fused together 90’s hip hop trends with modern style. Nevertheless, the inspiration behind the amazing collection has an even deeper meaning. Fashion’s rising duo is using their couture brand to start a revolution. One that they desire will give hope as well as power to the people.

Nicolas K Fall/Winter 2017 Runway Show

Nicholas and Christopher Kunz are the genius masterminds behind the Nicholas K label. The brother and sister couture designers have been deeply affected by the politics of America. From the recent ban and administration changes Nicholas and Christopher began to feel as though things in America were going backwards.

Enter their Nicolas K Fall/Winter 2017 collection. First of all, it was important to the designers to show inclusion and diversity. For their NYFW show they made sure to cast models of all shades and tones. Next, they let their clothes do the rest of the talking.

The garments are a throw back to the golden era of hip hop, the 90s. Oversized coats, slouchy pants and a bold color palette (black, gold, red) brought the decade before the 2000’s back to the catwalk.

Also, the strong accessories gave the collection a very activist and rebel vibe. Models hit the catwalk in berets, humongous septum rings as well as earrings. The resulting look immediately made us think black panther and underground grunge.

As you can see Nicolas K definitely left their mark on NYFW and we can’t wait to future designs from the growing brand. Nevertheless, there’s more to see so keep your fashionable eyes on 1966 as we bring you the hottest moments of fashion week!
