David Koma AW20 -Glamorous Cityscape Meets Couture!
Ever seen the twinkling skyline of a city during twilight hours? It is nothing short of majestic and can instantly take your breath away. As the light orange, golden light delicately hits the reflective windows of skyscrapers and intermittent buildings; a glamorous display of industrial beauty begins to shine forth. It’s this backdrop that must of had a profound effect on the David Koma AW20 collection. Which included a dazzling array of garments that encompasses structural tailoring and mesmerizing embellishments!

The David Koma Autumn/ Winter 2020 runway show reminds us of serious New York City skyline vibes. If you have ever seen the sun set there you already know it is an enchanting experience. NYC is a seductive place in itself. Beyond its “rough” exterior; it shines up well due to its architectural makeup.
The Chrysler Building, Empire State Building and numerous bridges all play a part in giving the city a definitive edge. Nevertheless, Koma’s collection could be based on any major city throughout the world. Each one’s iconic skylines are all capable of having the same luxurious appeal.

But the truth is, Koma stuck to the brand’s roots. The show was held in London at the Leadenhall Building. A world class building that sits in the very heart of London. Like New York, London’s scene is just as attractively eye-catching.
It is easy to see why this U.K. city serves as such inspiration in terms of fashion. Whether day or night, London has an energy that can go from punk to posh in a blink of the eye.

Furthermore, the David Koma runway show effectively captured the beauty that is found in the architectural design of London. The Autumn/ Winter 2020 collection accomplished this with designs by imitating the construction of buildings.

Also, we loved the play on the gleaming aspect of a city. Models walked the catwalk in garments FULL of crystals and bling. Mimicking glistening windows and the light up display of the city lights at night. David Koma sent a gorgeous display of sparkling designs that would make the stars in the sky jealous!
Simply put it is a beautiful, edgy and glam collection. A nice modern and fresh breath of creative air. It’s great to see designers stretch themselves and what inspires them.

Living Coral-Pantone Color of the Year for 2019
For some 20 years Pantone has released a yearly color which embodies the mood and vibe for the upcoming year. So then, what is the shade for 2019? Just announced… Living Coral- Pantone Color of the Year for 2019!
Nevertheless, not quite sure what this color is or what does it convey? No worries, Pantone always makes sure to explain their choice in full detail. Regarding Living Coral Pantone says,
“Introducing the Pantone Color of the Year 2019, Pantone 16-1546 Living Coral. An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.
Sociable and spirited, the engaging nature of Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity. Symbolizing our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits. Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression.”
Living Coral-Pantone Color of the Year for 2019
One question that we have already received is: why does it seem like this color is changing between several different tones? Is it like an orange or a pink?
The truth is, coral is not always the same color! When found in nature coral tones can range from a gorgeous pinkish red-orange to a rosy pink to even a rare gold. Therefore, under different light tones can seem quite different.
Furthermore, many consider Living Coral to be among the “sunset” hues. Think of all the beautiful sunsets that incorporate orange, pink, red, strong pinks all melded together in a tantalizing way. If the sky can look so mesmerizing just think what you will look like in this color all 2019!

Maison Valentino Pre-Fall 2019 Fashion Show- See the Looks!
Falling roses, gorgeous models and deliciously vogue designs; elegantly make up the Maison Valentino Pre-Fall 2019 Fashion Show! The runway spectacular was presented in Tokyo, Japan at the infamous Warehouse TERRADA. A venue that nonstop holds galleries, markets as well as events in order to help support, as well as spread art and culture.
Our favorite pieces? Can’t say that one stood out among all the others; however, the color palette is beautiful! Red gowns (a signature color for Valentino) as far as the eye could see. Also, strong use of denim and two tone clothing.
Furthermore, one look that was super cute to us is an all-sweater ensemble. Actually, it is more so of a “cape” over a dress, but adorbs nonetheless. It is a cozy looking, woven masterpiece that stretches all the way down to the knees. With a stylish pair of boots you will easily and effortlessly look chic.
Other than a pretty cream, florals and sophisticated black looks complete the collection. Black tone clothing is great because the hue is timeless. Looks great on everyone and never really goes out of style or “trend.” Thus, making any black outfit pretty classic.
Maison Valentino Pre-Fall 2019 Fashion Show
Creative Director, Pierpalo Piccioli definitely put on quite the show. Regarding his presentation the humble designer simply stated via social, “Thank you everyone who made this dream come true. You know who you are.”
Nevertheless, the brand itself had a few more words on the subject. In regards to the highly anticipated show and its designs; the couture label explains it as,
“A dialogue between perfection and imperfection, permanence and caducity. Two ideas of beauty are compared: one strives for balance, symmetry, harmony; the other is asymmetrical, and favors what is impermanent.
Distant elements meet and merge in the interval that separates them; showing the gesture of clashing opposites instead of hiding it. The iconography of the Maison – the ruffles, the lace, the grace; and then the flowers, the colors, the motifs – is interpreted in a wabi sabi key.
Volumes are purified, ruffles are crushed, pleats are misaligned. Valentino Pre-Fall 2019 by Pierpalo Piccioli.”
What about the men? Well, still plenty of couture looks to love. The color scheme for the show was incorporated into all of the mens’ fashion too. We loved all of the long coats and relaxed suits. Relaxed we say? Yup, peep the untucked shirts. Ingenious Piccioli!
However, more on the men in our follow-up feature. Be sure to check it out in our Get Your Man Right series. Until then, check out more rouge looks from the show!

Tonight Victoria’s Secret heralded, “Are You Not Entertained??!” Long legs, big wings and of course the hardest struts pounded the catwalk for what is known as “the sexiest night of television.” The 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this year is full of glamour, glitz and mesmerizing angelic flair!
We are recapping it ALL. From backstage, the runway and even the pink carpet we have everything you want to see. So come on let’s get our annual pink party started, smooches! We will not keep you in agony this year. Last year, we decided to save the runway for last, but y’all requested that we flip the script. So without further adieu, here are some of the must-see looks of the show!
Whew! That’s a lot of fab looks! We loved the incorporation of stripes, feathers, metallics and even school girl chic plaid. But are you ready for more? Yeah, we thought so… here comes round number two:
2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show- Runway and Model VIP Exclusive
What other cool feature is in this year’s runway show? Well, be on the lookout for another awesome collaboration! In the past, Vickie has teamed up with stylish couture labels such as Balmain, this year the lingerie company partners with designer, Mary Katrantzou.
The vibrant and fun collab features intimates, athletic wear, loungewear and even bags. What we love the most is all of the festive florals. It is a fresh breathe of style air that still makes you think VS Pink. If you want to shop the collection mark a calendar to remember that it will be available the day the show officially airs, December 2nd.
BEAUTY NOTES: Want to look like a VS Angel? Well, you can, it is all in the right makeup technique. For Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows the look is all about au natural beauty. Meaning the models’ makeup is applied only to enhance their natural strongpoints and features.
To get the look keep the focus on emphasizing the eyes. Create full brows with complimenting voluminous and lengthy eyelashes. Pronounce eyes even more with a subtle yet dramatic cat-eye. Lastly, add blushed cheeks, a slight glow with a glossy or matte skintone lip and you will be good to go! Got it? Great! Let’s get back to the runway.
2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show- Runway and Model VIP Exclusive (Continued)
Now we have to take a moment to let out a few unicorn thug tears; because this year’s show also marks the 18th and final VSFS for model, Adriana Lima! We know, we know, the passing of the Kleenex will happen in a moment. However, this undeniable SEXY veteran of the Victoria’s Secret family will always be considered one of the best to ever do it.
When the recorded show airs December 2nd, viewers will be able to catch Lima strutting down the catwalk for a number of sets. Just in case you find yourself in a chip or sparkling wine refill situation; look out for Adriana during the Stella and Celestial Angels portions. We are sure you will not want to miss her!
2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Tonight wasn’t just about the ladies… okay, that’s a lie it was! HOWEVER, that did not stop the men from coming to join the VS party. Hip hop artist Future, singer Shawn Mendez and actor hunk Dylan Sprouse all were spotted hitting the pink carpet.
Speaking of Sprouse, the cutie scored several BF points. His gift of the night for his Vickie angel GF? A bag of burgers from Shake Shack. We stan all boyfriends who stop at nothing to feed us (lol).
2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show- Continued
Nevertheless, there’s plenty of magic that also happens backstage. There’s gorgeous models taking selfies, hair and makeup as well as the final touches on all the amazing wardrobe.

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!
Ah, we love the smell of bling in the morning! This past a.m. Vickie S. hit us with the first look of their Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra! One million dollars worth of luxurious jewels and straight sex appeal.
This year’s coveted Bra is a collab between the iconic Swarovski label and intimate apparel giant,Victoria’s Secret. Swarovski who has teamed up with the likes of: Maison Margiela, Christopher Kane, Jean Paul Gaultier as well as Victor & Rolf on jewelry; has produced a creation for the VS 2018 Fashion Show incorporating over 2100 Swarovski diamonds!
Furthermore, this hand-made design also boasts and includes responsibly sourced topaz. Also, you may notice that the Swarovski bra and body chain are set in a sterling silver Dream Angels bra silhouette. Moreover, the stunning center piece has more than 71 carats (yeah, total Rose from Titanic status). In this design’s entirety, it took over a whopping 930 hours to create! Can you say major?
Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!
Now… we know one of the reasons you may have decided to check out our post on this is because you know we always are super honest (Lol). With that being said, this year’s Fantasy Bra let us feeling rather… meh. While we are so thrilled for model Elsa Hosk to be the one to rock it down the catwalk. It just seems like this design is a tad bit “lackluster.”
Yes, while 2100 diamonds is nothing in itself to yawn about. This year’s design just seems to be missing the allure of million dollar FB bras from the past. Maybe we have just been super spoiled in the past, but this bra just doesn’t seem to have the typical Victoria’s Secret flair.
Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds (Continued)
However, if you love the style of this year’s Fantasy Bra do not stress because you don’t have a million dollars lying around. VS is offering their hardcore buyers a little cool treat come November 29th. Keep that day in mind (it’s a Thursday BTW) because the VS brand at select stores and online will have a “knock-off” version of the 2018 Fantasy Bra available for purchase.
Yup dolls… Instead of schilling out one million, you’ll be able to plop down $250 for the lookalike version. Pretty cool if you have ever wanted to have a Fantasy Bra of your very own, but be quick because they are already projecting a fast sellout. So then, may the best credit or debit card win!
Tune in to see Elsa and the other Angels strut down the runway during the sexiest night on TV. The 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs Sunday, December 2nd at 10/9c.
Glitter Forever : Valentino SS19 Red Glitter Lips-Long Live Pat McGrath!
It’s like Dorothy’s red shoes for your lips! Forget clicking three times… all you need to do is swipe and dab! Beauty icon, Pat McGrath’s wildly popular sparkling rouge lip color found its way back on a catwalk in a triumphant fashion. During the Valentino Spring/Summer 2019 runway show all that glitters proved to be high-end couture gold. The beauty kingdom inhabitants all agree, long live glitter forever!
Glitter Forever: Valentino SS19 Red Glitter Lips-Long Live Pat McGrath
Pat McGrath aka mother knows a thing or two about creating a divine makeup statement. She has been doing so for decades for the most pristine designers on this earth. Nevertheless, this time around for Valentino it was all about glamour. Bold colors, extreme cat eyes and of course the infamous radiating red pouts. Regarding the look Pat stated,
“Lust worthy lips! [Applied] the iconic Lust 004 on the divine [models] backstage at Pierpaolo Piccoli [for] Maison Valentino. Valentino SS19.”
Lust 004 comes in an awesome lip kit. What’s included? The brand states it’s a, “collection of perverse lip paraphernalia. That features six sinfully pigmented matte lipsticks; clear vinyl gloss; metallic gold pigment and three mesmerizingly microfine glitters.”
Sounds a lot of bang for the buck to us! Now Pat originally released her now cult favorite lusty, magnetic lip kit back in 2016. However, if you are worried about it being off the market or out of stock; have no fear! Mother always thinks ahead and gives the masses exactly what they want.
In early 2018 McGrath relaunched the Lust 004 Lip Kits and once again they proved to be a major hit. Ready to get your beauty paws on one? Head to patmcgrath.com. Each kit currently sells for $60.

Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris
The Item: Hip Hop artist and fashion week style queen, Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris, France. The music charting phenom was spotted walking the streets of Paris in gorgeous, floor-length gown while heading to an event during Paris Fashion Week.
You Asked: Honestly do not care for Cardi B’s music since Bodak Yellow or how she conducted herself at Harper’s Bazaar. But her fashion and stylist are always so good. Who is her stylist by the way and what are the details on this look? Even the hat!
Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris
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. Currently this look is not available for purchase just yet, however; it is coming to the Michael Costello shop real soon! Fashion lovers will be able to purchase Cardi’s OOTD from www.shopcostello.com.
As for the hat, it is a piece that was made to compliment Cardi’s right off the runway gown. The hat is a custom garment by Michael Costello as well. So far no word if the hat will be available for purchase as well.
Nonetheless, Kollin Carter finished off Cardi’s Paris ensemble with high-end designer shoes. Cardi B is wearing a fab pair of ankle strap platform heels by Elie Saab.
Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris (Continued)
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.
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.”
Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection
Yes, put some respect on Micheal’s name! Michael Costello is a luxury label that is a true celebrity favorite. Everyone from Beyoncé to Nicki Minaj have been in a MC design at some point. Furthermore, if you missed the MC New York Fashion Week show here are a few looks that we enjoyed. Especially, since one of our fave models, Jessica White, also hit the catwalk for the show!
Therefore, hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.
HEY! See more angles and snaps of Cardi in her stunning Micheal Costello ensemble including the fab custom hat in this short fashion vid:
