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!

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!

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

Here we go with another fab celebrity sighting! The beyond gorgeous Teyana Taylor Attends La Perla NYFW Show in true diva style. From her lovely hair color to her dazzling ensemble, Taylor made quite the statement.

Where is baby Junie?! As much as we love seeing Teyana and her beautiful daughter out and about; it’s still nice to spot TT enjoying a night out on the town solo. Moreover, what better place to be than taking in the voguish designs of New York Fashion Week?

Day one of NY’s fashion week really kicked things off with a major bang. All the shows from morning till night were full of trendy surprises. Nonetheless, La Perla immediately got the crowd in an uproar right at the start. Hint: Involves a very famous supermodel and more on that later!

La Perla is well known for their luxe, glamorous lingerie. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that their attendees would possess the same vibes. Teyana Taylor awesomely fits the bill of sassy and chic.

Taylor’s OOTD for the show fell in line perfectly with La Perla’s Fall/Winter 2017 theme incorporating the beauty of florals. Teyana brought the fashion heat in a garment from the La Perla Spring 2017 collection.

She finished her look with a fur to stay warm in the snowy New York weather. Also, can we give it up one time for her vivacious and boisterous hair color! We love how the bold tint compliments her outfit and blends due to matching one of the shades found in the print of her gown. Moreover, the deep middle part and slanted cut add some sleek, modern edginess. Bravo!

amfAR New York Gala Fashion Recap

Arianne Suggs February 9, 2017February 9, 2017Leave a Comment

It was an electric night dedicated to the fight against the global AIDS epidemic. Many celebrities were on hand to show their support as well as honor those for their notable contributions. For instance, supermodel Naomi Campbell was on hand to present the amfAR Award of Courage to designer Donatella Versace. We present our amFar New York Gala Fashion Recap!

amFar New York Gala Fashion Recap

Everyone looked fantastic for the star-studded event. Moreover, we noticed that Versace had a major night. Several fabulous ladies wore garments from the luxury brand which was fitting due to the lovely Donatella being honored. Check out who made up the Versace squad!

The creation of amfAR came about to the unfortunate passing Hollywood actor, Rock Hudson. Hudson was the first well-known public figure to die of AIDS-related illness. Right before his death Rock donated $250,000 to help others in the future who might face a similiar health issue. His longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor used his donation in order to help establish amfAR.

amFar New York Gala Fashion Recap-Raising Funds for Research

To raise funds there were quite a few art pieces up for grabs. Here are a few that caught our eye along with the cool story behind them:

“Thrilled and honored to be auctioning off this work by American street artist Alec Monopoly at amfAR New York Gala. This piece was specifically chosen by the artist since it reflects the kinetic energy and constant motion of New Yorkers. To date the amfAR New York Gala has raised more than $17 million in support of the fight against HIV/Aids.”

“When it comes to the history of amfAR, there is a special place for the woman who helped start it all. Christopher Makos’ 1988 black and white portrait of amfAR Founding International Chairman Elizabeth Taylor on Malcolm Forbes is just one of the many works generously donated to be auctioned.”

Arianne Suggs February 9, 2017February 9, 2017Leave a Comment

Lady in reddddddd! We hope you sang that AND we hope you are just as excited as we are that Solange Covers Elle Magazine March 2017 Issue! Solange has definitely come into her own as an artist and it is great to see more and more embracing her vibes. Moreover, for years we have felt she is also underrated when it comes to being a style risk taker. She’s not afraid to try anything and is always fun to see on a red carpet. For these reasons and more Solange makes and deserves to be the fabulous cover girl she is!

Solange Covers Elle Magazine March 2017 Issue

For the March edition of ELLE Solange talks about a little bit of everything. She dives into music, love, her ambitions, art and her huge 2016 album. Regarding creating her wildly successful music she stated,

“Writing felt like this insular thing that I could go back in my room and express all that I would observe. [Also] all the emotions that would arise. It felt like mine, my little thing.”

Salamishah Tillet who is a scholar, professor at the University of Pennsylvania and activist shared thoughts on Solange. Inside the March issue Tillet gives her views regarding A Seat at the Table. She says,

“A Seat at the Table boldly channels the contradictions of our moment. The stew of pride, disappointment, vulnerability, and anger that African Americans are experiencing. In an era marked as much by the election of our first black president as the murder of young black people.

[Nevertheless] the record is sweeping in its reckoning with the nation’s vexed racial past and present. Furthermore its intimate and unexpectedly gentle.”

How did A Seat at the Table make you feel? Get the full scoop and check out Solange’s chic editorial when the ELLE March issue hits stands!

Rihanna Honors Amelia Earhart For Harper’s Bazaar 150th Anniversary Issue

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 9, 2017February 8, 2017Leave a Comment

Rihanna and Harper’s Bazaar did not come to play! Let us tell you that the fashions are stunning and the imagery is breath-taking. The theme of the editorial is brilliant especially with the amount of pure girl power that has manifested itself so far in 2017. This is a must-see spread, Rihanna Honors Amelia Earhart For Harper’s Bazaar 150th Anniversary Issue.

Rihanna Honors Amelia Earhart For Harper’s Bazaar 150th Anniversary Issue

Two different gorgeous covers as well as an editorial with looks for days! Honestly, Rihanna’s homage to the great Amelia Earhart just keeps giving. You gaze upon one shot and then the very next one tops it. Harper’s Bazaar talked about their big anniversary issue stating, “Badgal Riri channels Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean, for our March 2017 issue by editor in chief Glenda Bailey.”

Hats off to Bailey because the execution of the 150th edition is flawless. Moreover, RiRi showcased her flawless modeling skill set while wearing fashions from the Spring/Summer 2017 collections of Salvatore Ferragamo and Stella McCartney (to name a few). Regarding taking part in the edition Rihanna says, “On my Amelia Earhart sh*t! Such an honor to pay tribute to this dynamic bada** woman! Always handled her duties in the most style!”

No doubt Rihanna knows a thing or two about being dynamic. Her artistry and style has helped separate her from the musical pack and made her a fashion icon. Moreover, she accomplished it all as a hard-working woman with much drive. Rihanna commented further on why honoring Amelia was so fitting. She stated,

“There’s something so special about a woman who dominates in a man’s world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence and fearlessness. [Also] the nerve to never take no for an answer.

Amelia Earhart was such a dynamic force in her industry, setting multiple aviation records in her time. So it was a no-brainer for me to team up with Harper’s Bazaar in honor of a woman who held her own with the boys.”

Very true Rih! Amelia Earhart accomplished many firsts in a male dominated industry. Proving us girls can tackle any feat with success. So ladies remember the skies are not the limit and you can do anything like Miss Earhart and Fenty.

Diggy Simmons Walks For Dolce and Gabbana Fall-Winter 17

Arianne Suggs January 20, 2017January 20, 2017Leave a Comment

Diggy Simmons is all grown up and still making all us girls want to throw him our digits (LOL)! Simmons is following in the steps of his sisters and getting down on the fashion tip. His beautiful sisters, Angela and Vanessa, in the past have designed stylish collections right down to shoe wear. However, Diggy isn’t going that particular route. You see Diggy doesn’t create designer fashions, he just rocks the heck out of them! His big fashion is definitely one for the books. Let us tell you more about Diggy Simmons Walks For Dolce and Gabbana Fall-Winter 17.

Diggy Simmons Walks For Dolce and Gabbana Fall-Winter 17

People have their squads, tribes or a crew. However, the Dolce and Gabbana brand for their recent menswear runway show presented their DG millenials. The new crop of male models that are giving the fashion house a more exclusive look.

For his walk down the runway Simmons wore a black tailored jacket with floral accents. These details harmonized very well with his floral print pant. We loved the use of a bow tie which gave the ensemble even more character.

Nevertheless, it was refreshing to see florals apart of a fall/winter collection. Normally, we all are very familiar with seeing such a look during the spring season. Winter fashion tends to lean more toward the drab end of things with tones including dark blues, grays and black. However, this change of pace gives guys the opportunity and freedom to break the rules as well as experiment with not color but prints. Love this pairing great job Diggy you should do this more often!
