Hey Guys!
So we’re kicking off this lovely Friday with Fashion Bomber of the Year, and will publish our Fashion Bombshell of the Year post later this afternoon.
Nominations for Bomber of the Year were few and far between–most ballots had a big question mark next to the entry! At any rate, we whittled it down to five guys you felt were worthy of the title.
I give you Robert from Houston, Charod from Florida, Shakur from New Jersey, Joshua from Las Vegas, and Mboko from Paris:


1. Robert from Houston:

Readers were swooning over Robert’s model looks and confident swagger. Though a few complained his professional shots didn’t truly showcase his style, most were too distracted by his chiseled cheekbones to care.

Frequent commenter Wallflower said, “Helllooooooooo nurse!” and Jellytime said, “Man take those clothes off! Lookin good as hail, hay hay hay!”

2. Charod from Florida:


Charod from Florida’s pictures were submitted by his friend Jazzmene who said, “he’s been FLY since we were 11 years old!”

You guys concurred. Dinka Don said, “He is adorable and what style! Thumbs up on my end!” and Daisy said, “This is the first male fashion bomber who has the kind of style of the man I could see myself dating. It’s effortless, a little rugged, and hot!”
3. Shakur from Jersey:

Young Shakur from New Jersey stole our hearts in November, saying, “…Fashion is about being yourself…it isn’t always about Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Louis Vuitton.”

Zy said, “I <3 him for that statement. *applause* he rocks and his fashion sense rocks too. Love it!”
4. Joshua from Las Vegas:

Young Joshua first appeared on the site in July 2010 with a unique style that didn’t bow to trends or the latest hot shoes.

LK said, “I love that he stepped out of the box!! It’s nice to see black men in something other than the latest Jordans!! Joshua u rock!”
5. Mboko from Paris:

You guys actually only submitted four nominations, so I took the liberty of including Mboko because I adore his dapper looks and undeniable chic.

It seems you guys approved. Lola said, “You hit it again Claire! This is what being a fashion bomb is all about. He is owning his look and you can tell he is not complete without his glasses, attaché, and brogues. Make your own lane and OWN IT!” Missy added, “Classic with a twist…and a pop of color. Not only is he one gorgeous guy, he has style to die for. Each look was perfection!!!”

So that does it! Who do you think should be Fashion Bomber of the year?

Stay tuned later for Best of 2010: Fashion Bombshell of the Year!

  2. Mboko, of course!
    Although I’m not mad at Robert from Houston. Wallflower stole the words right out of my mouth.

  3. Wow, what a tough decision! I don’t want Robert’s looks to sway my vote…but, Charod’s effortless style makes my heart thump too…Whew!! Ok, I’ve decided…I’m keeping my vote to myself:)

  4. MBOKO FROM PARIS IS KILLING IT!! I love love love his preppy style. I’m dying for his oxfords! And details like rolling his oxford shirt sleeves! wooooo!

  6. Lol I agree with ChocolateGummiBear. His swag is so crazy! Although I was torn because I was lovin’ Mboko too!

  7. Charod gets the manliness vote from me, this is how i want my man to dress and Mboko is just swaggerific he gets a vote too.

  8. Yes Charod fashion allows girls to think “yes that could be my man”. Shout-out to young Shakur for repping Jersey.

  9. Charod’s totally gonna win. Although the others have style, their outfits could really pull double duty and this is for Fashion Bomber, not Bombshell…I would love Mboko’s red and purple shorts!

  11. Charod gets my vote. Definitely a guy I would have on my arm. What happened to Jarrell? Too many of the “same” looks I suppose?

  12. Its hard, not as hard as the female vote, it’s funny because “so called originality/style has been manufactured so well, you get people with the same fedora, handkerchief, tight jeans and sneakers made famous by kanye west… and they would swear to you they’re original, which would be believable if you had’nt seen the same style walk by or blogged about the day before!

  13. I went w/Charod as well. I’m relatively certain that I have things in my closet similar to what all of the other guys are wearing, ugh…..

  18. I will have to go with Robert!!
    Sorry, I just can’t..men/w pursues, man purses, purses of any kind..just no!!!

  25. Clearly Mboko is the most chic guy out of the others. He exhibits extremely good taste, a certain playfulness via color yet stays within the lines of classic sophistication. I’ve been following him for a while and he always kills it! Charod is a #2. He’s stylish in an “American, safe way (which is fine)”. Mboko should be a stylist (if he isn’t already!).
