Traveling is part of my lifestyle and having a garment that transcends climate and seasons is so convenient. I lived in Russia for a few years, and I fell in love with fur during my stay. I have always wanted to work with fur. This season I have applied detachable fur as a luxury feature to the garments.”

The Verdict: Thank you for your fashionable message and we agree, love her or not, Cardi possesses one of the best couture and style teams on this globe! Cardi’s stylist, Kollin Carter, styled her in a luxurious gown by fashion label, Michael Costello.

The dress is from the brand’s Gitana collection which made it’s glam debut during New York Fashion Week.

However, Designer Michael Costello has a few words for any bandwagon MC fans or opportunists. Since Cardi’s look hit the fashion scene more and more attention has come to MC. Regarding this he states,

“Funny how [agency] IMG chose to highlight my show right after they saw a major celeb like Cardi B wear my pieces. My show at NYFW was a huge success this season because of my own in-house team.

My show was shown on a billboard in Times Square yet there was not a single mention on IMG’s social platforms including the NYFW Instagram page. I was literally ghost to them.

Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection

My show show consistently draws the most number of digital impressions amongst all the designers under their roster; but I guess I was still not good enough for IMG’s models or the selective NYFW clique. People seem to forget that my success is not overnight and that I have built strong relationship with stylists and celebrities for the past 2 decades.

I’ve never PAID for a celebrity to sit in my show or walk in my show or wear me. Everything you’ve seen thus far is God’s plan! If you never supported me or my team in the beginning, don’t start claiming me now. My success belongs to my team… it is not yours to claim.”

Nicki Minaj Red Hair -Spotted During MONSE Spring 2019 NYFW Show

Nicki Minaj Red Hair

The thing about fashion week is that if you dress as a complete and total bore NO ONE will even notice your existence; which is why it brings out and encourages everyone’s style A-game. It’s not just about the dress, or shoes and undeniably chic handbag. A true NYFW week superstar has to look like they walked right out of a magazine editorial from their head, right down to their toes. Case in point, the Nicki Minaj red hair sighting that caused an “all eyes on me” collision at the MONSE Spring 2019 show.

Nicki Minaj Red Hair -Spotted During MONSE Spring 2019 NYFW Show

Nicki Minaj Red Hair

The MONSE couture show was indeed captivating in itself. Models drifted down the runway in prints, trench coats, re-imagined asymmetrical tops/dresses and hybrid sweater hoodies with a nautical “rope” touch. However, the front row could not be ignored, for a particular rapper did not come to just sit and look pretty; she made a fabulous hair statement!

From any angle onlookers could witness and attest that Nicki’s rouge tresses had more edge than a knife blade. It was fierce, modern and effortlessly voguish. Nonetheless, Minaj from the start has not tried to play the fashion week game safe.

Nicki Minaj Red Hair

She’s worn purple hair, long pink waves, platinum blonde, a short blonde bob cut with multi-color accents; the new red AND it hasn’t even been a full 7 day week yet. A style risk-taker? Oh, you bet she is, and that’s why she is Queen.

So then, are you feeling Miss Nicki’s bold red strands? Would you ever give it a try?

Fashionable Mention: Area x Bertoni 1949 Ling Ling Bag

A bag is a like a good sidekick. It goes where you go, always comes in handy and just plain enhances the overall experience. If you get it right, your bag will ALWAYS add instead of take away from your fashion flair.

AREA chose to incorporate handbags that are not only “set to stun” but will still exude style practicality. Any of there bags could work for a number of occasions. Plus, they are the perfect size to tote around town. Not so big that it feels like you are carrying King Kong around; but also not so small that your valuables must be decided on based on importance.

Area x Bertoni 1949 Ling Ling Bag

Nonetheless, the Ling Ling handbag during NYFW just stole all the couture thunder. It hails from AREA’s Spring 2019 collection which debuted at the latest season of New York Fashion Week. Bertoni 1949 had this to say in regards to the collaboration showstopper:

“All eyes on the ‘Ling Ling’ bag as the most iconic, recognizable and charming item of the collection made in collaboration with AREA. The Ling Ling bag [is also] in silver patent leather and enriched by AREA’s iconic rhinestone fringe.”

Like we said… a stunner. The entire collection boasts fashionable bags that utilize fun color as well as netting detailing. More views of the entire handbag collaboration is on the way!

Savage X Fall Winter 2018 Fashion Show for NYFW

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

PHHH… PHRESH OUT THE RUNWAY! No one does fashion week like a Badgal! The Savage X Fall Winter 2018 fashion show by far was the hottest ticket of New York Fashion Week. Dancers, top models and a collection of lingerie that would make anyone break a sweat. Ohhh baby!

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

Savage X Fall Winter 2018 Fashion Show for NYFW

Listen, business mogul, Rihanna, sure knows how to attract attention and stir up some sales! The Savage X creator not only sent a spanking new fall/winter collection down the catwalk; but she also dropped it online at the SAME TIME. Uh, can you say, website crash?

What can fans and lingerie lovers as well as consumers expect? The autumn collection is full of fun flirty colors as well as details. More lace, ribbons and barely there see-through material were incorporated into numerous fab looks.

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

The color scheme is vast yet alluring and steamy fun. Rich blue, bold light green, red and decadent purple all permeated the seductive designs. Nevertheless, if boisterous hues are no where to be found in your couture dictionary; you will be happy to know there are “safer” tones to enjoy as well.

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

Rihanna’s fall/winter garments also include some frilly, ultra fem pinks, lilac and light baby blues. Plus, numerous looks additionally utilize a very earth tone palette. Think browns, military green, and light tans. Or, if all else fails there is always classic black.

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

One sexy element we certainly adored was the use of accessories, such as the “long hand gloves.” Since let’s face it, wearing the same old … same old intimate apparel is a total bore! The real fun is in the additions.

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

The gloves that extend from fingertips to above the elbows exude a very vintage, full of sass feel. Like the pin up doll era. This retro sexy incorporation is a surefire way to increase your lingerie attire’s fierce appeal. Like it really needs it though (wink, wink).

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

Savage X Fall Winter 2018

Like any dominant businesswoman, Rihanna ALWAYS listens to her fans and consumers. When Savage X first hit the fashion scene, many felt that they were not apart of the equation. Ladies from all over the world spoke up about the size range availability within Savage X.

Savage X Fall Winter 2018 Savage X Fall Winter 2018

Rihanna obviously got the memo and listened 100%. The autumn/winter runway showcased tons of diversity and inclusion. Thin shapes, curvy shapes and everything in-between hit the catwalk to proudly represent women of all physiques.

Rihanna’s line proves that where there is a will, there is a way to be inclusive of women of all sizes, heights and structure. The fashion industry has always leaned toward one particular look; nevertheless, with the success of Savage X other designers and owners may just take note.
