Arianne Suggs February 15, 2018February 15, 2018Leave a Comment

New York Fashion Week continues to plop us into a time machine and transport us to the era that was the 80s. The Marc Jacobs Fall 2018 runway show absolutely brought it. Showstopping pieces and over the top couture that displayed impeccable tailoring and pure opulence.

Fall Trends: Marc Jacobs Fall 2018 NYFW Runway Show

This fall go big. Marc Jacobs is leading the way to this trend with his latest collection showcasing humongous shoulders, hats and trousers. A nice departure from the normal “less is more” ensembles checkered throughout social media.

Jacobs entire collection is noticeably very modest. No high splits. No cut-outs. Just garments oozing of extravagance and tons of flashy appeal. Throughout the show models strutted down the catwalk in designs that covered them completely from head-to-toe.

The point? If you are not into skin or would enjoy mixing it up; you can still be insanely fashionable without displaying cleavage or legs. Marc Jacobs proves that covering up can still be uber glam and make a strong style statement.

Nevertheless, besides the designs themselves even the accessories could not be ignored. Handbags with studded detailing, vibrant diamond encrusted and bow mules; black gloves and larger than life wide brim hats. Nothing was left to chance. Every detail, every element is captivating art.

Speaking of details, the Marc Jacobs label let out a few couture gems in regards to the Fall 2018 line. The couture brand gets into the overall vibe and selection of fabrics. MJ says,

“Sharp hats and even sharper haircuts. Introducing Marc Jacobs Fall 2018! Huge flourishes, gestures, broad strokes and silhouettes expressed in rich and gorgeous fabrics. From double faced cashmeres, meltons and tweeds to faille; moires, iridescent and flocked taffetas, radzimir, velvet and warp print satins.”

“This entire SS18 collection called my name. Thank you for being a boss at everything you do Badgalriri (Rihanna).”

We could not agree more with those thoughts! Nevertheless, Ryan also explained just how much she is feeling her new hairstyle. She says,

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

Hello Moto! Rihanna once again brought Fashion Week to it’s knees! We’re talking about flying motorcycles, a rolling pink obstacle catwalk and of course the flyest models in the game. The Fenty x Puma SS18 fashion show was an edgy fashionista’s dream.

The songstress turned fashion designer showcased a runway show inspired by the Moto X, extreme sports community. The fashions are certainly of the athleisure fold. A popular trend designed for making athletic wear more stylish to be worn in situations outside of workouts or athletic activities.

The show was very much RiRi-eqse, making it a cinch to see bits and pieces of her personal flair throughout. Puma obviously agreed. While showing highlights of the Fenty x Puma SS18 show the Puma brand says, “Introducing the new daredevil Fenty x Puma collection by Badgalriri (Rihanna). Making waves the only way Rihanna can. NYFW.”

Several pieces and garments caught our eye (i.e. tracksuits, hoodies, bodysuits and amazing outerwear). However, one element that could not be ignored is Rihanna’s fabulously designed shoes! Bold colors, interesting heel options, comfy slippers and thigh high sporty boots that are definitely made for walking slid their way down the catwalk. Furthermore, our personal favorite design is a flip flop converted into an ankle strap heel. It’s a laid back look with a certain je ne sais quoi that can not be ignored.

After the high energy show the lady of the hour briefly talked about her Fenty x Puma SS18 runway show. Miss Robyn Fenty says,

“When the X-Games come to fashion week. Thank you guys for making this show the best one yet! I feel like the coolest on the block now! Lol!

Shoutout to all my beautiful and talented models who absolutely murdered this show last night.”

So then, who were some of the models who stomped the catwalk yard? We loved seeing Joan Smalls, Slick Woods, Duckie Thot as well as Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima. Now no fashion show is complete without celebrity fanfare. Therefore, who made their way out to NYFW in order to support Rihanna’s big night? We spied Pharrell Williams, Big Sean, Cardi B, Jhene Aiko, Ty Dolla Sign, A$ap Ferg, Offset and Dave East to name a few.

Want to see more of the show? Keep scrolling to see several of the MX inspired looks! Two must-see styles include a blue strappy bodycon dress as well as all white couture ensemble. On that one check out the humongous silver hoop earrings!

Nevertheless, now TT is adding one more item to her ever growing resume: runway model. Ah yes, NYFW SS18 wasn’t ready as Teyana Taylor Closes GCDS Fashion Show!

NYFW SS18 Highlights: Teyana Taylor Closes GCDS Fashion Show

Clothing brand, GCDS, heated things up during NYFW with a fashion show certainly for the style books. The collection featured several pieces oozing of mid 90s glamour. Think crop tops, layers, chain belts, logo pants and shirts as well as mini skirts.

Moreover, Teyana’s closing number garments screamed Queen Bee. Naw not Beyonce, we mean the original and notorious Ms. Lil’ Kim! Teyana Taylor hit the catwalk in an all white couture ensemble featuring a cropped top, stunner shades, booty shorts and gold chains as well as accessories.

Nevertheless, for a quick moment can we talk about Teyana’s walk?! Believe us when we say this lovely girl is straight MEAN on a runway. Her walk is powerful and fierce like Naomi. It’s strong and signature like Tyra. It’s bold and sassy like Adriana. If Teyana ever wanted to change her career to catwalk model she should have no issue finding work.

So then, go on Teyana with your bad self. Also, congrats on closing a NYFW show as well! An honor that is very much deserved. Oh and almost forgot, keep scrolling to see more looks from the show. Enjoy fashion lovers.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 7, 2017April 6, 2017Leave a Comment

Shangani Fashion’s debut presentation during New York Fashion Week conveys contemporary cuts that are accented with vintage accessories. Shangani Fashion designs are a juxtaposition of culture and style. Shangani is an African tribe that lived near the Shangani River in Zimbabwe, Africa. The tribe was named after its founder. Moreover, the name “Shoshangani” means traveler. Therefore, Shangani Fashion is a brand inspired by the experience of travel and the exposure of different cultures.

Creations by Shangani’s Designers merge their travel experiences with colorful ethnic prints and contemporary shapes. Their point of view creates a high fashion, ready-to-wear look. Nevertheless, traditional African fabrics with a modern mix, is the real passion behind Shangani Fashions.

Shangani Fashion – Where African Fashions Meet the Stylish Traveler

The design duo collaborating on the aesthetics is Fashion Designers Mary Moore and Elesia Peterman. Moore is a graduate of the University of Zimbabwe who enjoys global jets-setting. Moore explains, “My inspirations are fusions of my cultural, travel experiences as well as my Zimbabwean heritage and styles. Shoppers will find divers influences from the Caribbean, European and Middle-Eastern expressions in my fashions. [However] I enjoy mixing various African influences with a contemporary cut and shape for a modernized look. The result is a ready-to-wear brand that is suitable for all occasions.”

“My creative inspiration comes from a fusion of time, epoch periods and cultures, while remaining Afrocentric,” states Elesia Peterman. “I want our line to show that African print transcends. The looks can be worn strictly as traditional wear, but the looks can also be incorporated in business and everyday casual use.

What makes our line unique is that it isn’t just an African meets Western cohesion. Our goal is to reach and inspire a much bigger market. Our line is an international fusion. Also, being a millennial, I feel I can relate with the style trends my peers are excited about. I want to use clothing design as my voice and demonstration of creativity.”

Shangani Fashion

Shangani offers looks for both men and women. Moreover, the brand intends to expand the menswear line for upcoming seasons. The garments are wearable for business casual or as formal wear using materials that certainly last.

Depending on the type of garment design, the brand uses one-hundred percent cotton, applied with Dutch Wax print, denim and other uniquely blended materials of the finest quality. Completing the Afro-inspired look, the Shangani brand also features handcrafted travel handbags and clutch bags. Accessories such as earrings, bracelets and shoes, add a hint of sophistication to an individual’s look.

OMG ladies, have you heard? Jeremy Meeks Walks For Philipp Plein NYFW Show?! We wanted to save this for Monday Coffee, but just could not resist. The hottie Jeremy Meeks officially is a…wait for it… MODEL!

Jeremy Meeks Walks For Philipp Plein NYFW Show

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.
