Last night my buddy Avon and I followed the signs around Paris’ Bercy stadium for the Alexander McQueen show: I’m a huge fan of McQueen’s edgy dresses, skirts, and big shouldered jackets (think Beyonce en concert), and I was expecting to see a continuation of his practical pieces on the runway. Most designers thus far Continue Reading
The McQueen show last night was a fantastical journey, unlike anything I’ve ever seen! Before the show I snapped these two lovelies outside the venue at Paris’ Bercy stadium: Black on black is always chic. Add a bit of sparkle and patent for fun! Inside, I also caught a pic of some hot shoes: What Continue Reading
So Amber Rose may be refusing interviews, but Mr. West went on camera for The Fashion Bomb at the Yves Saint Laurent Show. Kanye was very gracious (as usual)…and Ms. Amber was looking fierce in a black catsuit. Represent! What did you think? Pssst, a fashion birdie told me that the lovebirds are also here Continue Reading

So imagine my surprise when I spied Kanye West and Amber Rose creep into the Hussein Chalayan show yesterday. Actually, I was more juiced to see Amber: I’ve Continue Reading
After I finished snapping pictures of the front row dwellers, I sat back to take in the show. Hussein Chalayan is known for his innovative designs, and has incorporated paper, delicate beading, and even flashing lights in the past. His current collection similarly mixed unusual elements: acetate foam like fabrics tailored in sophisticated silhouettes along Continue Reading
In between shows, I’ve been snapping pix of fashion show attendees of color: Cute! The young lady in the second pic is Kelly of Black and White PR. She’s wearing a vintage fox and mink coat. J’adore. What do you think? PS If you’re wondering about diversity at the shows: It doesn’t exist. Thus, one Continue Reading
