Hey Hey Bombers and Bombshells!
So last Paris Fashion Week Shire Raghe of Swedish TV show State of Style asked to follow me around for a couple of days as I write and navigate through different shows. I was a little nervous about doing it, but decided to go for it–and I’m really pleased with how it all turned out!
The show follows me as I go backstage and attend the Allude show. You’ll see me interviewing the designer, hairstylist, and makeup artist, feeling the fabrics, and then saying “Bonjour” to a few of my Parisian homies, including former Fashion Bomber and stylist Mboko, and Lilfa of the blog Black Beauty Bag.
Take a look at Part 1:
Part 2:
What do you think?
Many thanks to Shire and the fabulous team at State of Style!

Hello Claire as always very inspiring and it shows the hard work that you do so gracefully to be the person you are and that’s ’bout it’ lol thanks for sharing!
i am so glad they decided to do a piece on you, and i’m also glad you obliged!! It’s nice to see the person behind the website and all that you do on a daily basis. that was actually pretty cool. THANKS!!
Can I say how delightful that was to watch! I love watching people do what they love, the passion and excitement is contagious and the fact that you’re a woman of color resonates to me even more. Congrats on your successes.
@Kimmoy – that’s an iPad 2 or 3. Claire is using it for the camera feature, and just added a key board accessory.
Loved this feature Claire and I too have been a long time follower. Very exciting to be living your dream and still remain down to earth. Q: How do you enjoy traveling alone to all these fab places but in settings that could very superficial?
Thx guys for your comments!
@Kimmoy like Aziz_Mom said, I’m using an Ipad 2 and a Zagg keyboard (it’s great!).
@Aziz_Mom I have friends in most cities I travel to, who manage to keep me grounded and take my mind away from it all. Two of my best buddies are in London and Paris, which allows me to cut down on costs, but also escape somewhere at the end of each day.
THANKS for your support, stay tuned for more Claire’s life:))))
xoxox
Wow your french is very good! You almost can’t notice the accent! Is it weird that I’m proud of you for that? I always feel pride when people bother to speak my language (french) and do it well! Way to go Claire!
Very well deserved feature. And it’s also fantastic! Congrats!
