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.

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!

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!

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.

Teyana Taylor Attends La Perla NYFW Show

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!

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!

Latest Hair Trends: Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 18, 2017January 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Having your spring wardrobe together is one thing, but ensuring your hair is just as on point is quite another. The 2017 spring designer runway shows hair looks were full of innovation as well as reincarnated classics. What is one of the latest hair trends for 2017? Think getting out of a pool while looking all sorts of fabulous. That is very much the vibe of the Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle.

Latest Hair Trends: Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle

Yes, slick hair can be chic and more importantly very alluring. C’mon don’t you want onlookers to be obsessed with you from head-to-toe? The Balmain Spring 2017 Slick Wet Hairstyle is sexy without looking like you are trying to hard. Moreover, it is universally pleasing because it can be created on various hair lengths. Besides the catwalk several celebrities have already given the wet hairstyle a spin. We immediately think of Teyana Taylor (long hair) at the Soul Train awards as well as actress Ruth Negga (short hair) when she attended the Golden Globes.

Nevertheless, this look is nothing new even though it has a very modern feel. Hairstylist Sam McKnight says that the look is actually inspired by the 80’s. Eighties photography by Helmut Newton and Peter Linbergh provided the inspiration for the swimming pool-esqe style.

How was the hairstyle created? If you are natural then most likely you already have all the items you need in your hair arsenal. Stylists used an almost mad hair scientist mixture of gels, hair oils, mousse and creams in order to make hair obey as well as create the “wet” look.

Balmain never disappoints in its fashions or in the hair department. Therefore, take a page out of Balmain’s stylish book and rock one of the latest hair trends!

Spotted: Rihanna Rocks Burberry Fall 2016 Coat in NYC

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 11, 2017January 11, 2017Leave a Comment

We never tire of a stylish Rihanna sighting. The fashion icon knows how to keep us all on our swank toes regardless of the season. It may be cold outside in the streets of New York City, however Rihanna is still bringing the trendy heat. What did she wear? Last night we spotted the singer and actress in a ritzy Burberry Fall 2016 Coat.

Spotted: Rihanna Rocks Burberry Fall 2016 Coat in NYC

Recent style sightings of Rihanna have included more laid back fashions as she shoots scenes for her new movie. An all female version of Ocean’s Eleven. However, yesterday Rihanna had to let everyone know she still knows her way around designer labels. She killed it in a green snakeskin coat from the Burberry Fall 2016 collection.

What we love most about RiRi is that she is not afraid to take risks. The particular coat she wore was styled completely different than it was on the runway. Actually, it was a total 180. Burberry’s catwalk look was more formal and incorporated more prints.

Nevertheless, Rihanna paired her Burberry Fall 2016 coat with pink sweat pants as well as a pink sweat shirt with a hoodie. A perfect example on how to blend high-end with more relaxed pieces.

Styling Notes: Who says sandals have to only be worn during warmer weather? If we have said it once, we will say it again, great fashion knows no bounds! Just because it is not spring or summer, it does not mean you have to retire one set of shoes for closed-in ones. If you are not going to be exposed to the elements for extended amounts of time go ahead and break out heels with the more open design.
