There’s a palpable positive energy and enthusiasm at the foundation of Rosie Assoulin’s aesthetic—no matter what the real world is dishing out, her designs are always buoyant, bright, and fun. Her latest collection for Resort 2017 was no exception, staged in an empty Meatpacking District gallery with a veritable game of musical chairs and live string instruments wafting through the space.
Texture and volume were on the agenda from the first look: another two of Assoulin’s signatures. A puff-sleeve blouse and floor-grazing, tiered skirt pairing served up flamenco vibes, while a multicolor woven bustier top and blue paperbag trousers with oversized cuffs were completely on-trend with what we’re seeing in the market now.
Trousers were a huge focal point in the collection—the better for tons of wardrobe wear and layering. They came in a yellow, peplum-waist pair, a white cargo version with quilted knees, a linen striped duo that were surfer chic at its finest, and a simple, sand-hued iteration that would work for both the office and play.
Prints and embroidery were conversation starters: season-perfect florals, classic stripes, plaid, and fruits and vegetables that turned a classic, button-front shirt into a fashionable feast.
And because of Assoulin’s popularity with the celeb set, she simply had to include a few red carpet-perfect ensembles. A streamlined gown with a thigh-high slit and grape-inspired embellishment felt very bridal in its approach and a navy halter gown could easily land its wearer atop a Best Dressed list, if it’s two-tone, voluminous sleeves are removed.
Overall, the collection was fun and lively, though not functional at all times. We’re certain style mavens like Solange Knowles will make the designs look approachable and thus spur us all to try them at home, but beware: these looks are not for the faint of heart.

As an avid thespian, my eyes were glued to last night’s Tony Awards, mostly for the awards but definitely for the style! For the night, actress and award winner Renee Elise Goldsberry donned an Oscar De La Renta Resort 2016 yellow and black applique dress:
The strapless dress boasts a canary yellow, and features black flower appliques throughout.
I’m absolutely in love with this dress and how gentle and elegant it appears! Renee rocked it in my opion, but what do you guys think?

The Wests are jetsetting again. Spotted at LAX before heading to Paris, Kim Kardashian-West showcased her amazing post-baby bod in a $585 custom, curve-hugging Mark Wong Nark Gray Couture Shell Dress and $995 Yeezy Season 2 Beige Knit High Boots.
As sexy as this dress is, putting assets on display, the hem offers some modesty hitting at the middle of the shin. The simplistic design is perfect for comfort and travel, and can be custom made in an array of colors. Kim paired her look with a long knit cardigan and a pair of Yeezy Season 2 Knit High Boots, courtesy of hubby, Kanye, of course.
These tall stretch knit boots in ‘gold’ beige have an elasticized collar for a secure fit at the thigh. The almond peep toe and cut out heel elevate the cool factor on this boot, making it perfect for summer. The four-inch stacked heel gives the wearer just enough height without the fear of toppling over. Though her complexion looks more radiant when she wears bright colors (in my opinion), you have to admit Kim’s a trendsetter, even in very subtle tones. But at a total of $1,580 (not including her very rare $115,000 Hermès Birkin in Himalayan Crocodile Leather…yikes), is it worth the splurge?Well, if you think so, you can order your own Mark Wong Nark dress here, and shop her Yeezy boots here (before they sell out like most Yeezy pieces do.)
What do you think, Bomb readers? Would you consider putting some heat on your credit cards for this look?
Not too long ago we were publicly discussing the (possible radical) suggestions of activitists like Jada Pinkett Smith to boycott the Oscars. With the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag traveling all across social media, the harsh realities of so many people of color in the entertainment industry were finally brought to light. The scarcity of diversity seemed bleak and questionable, opening up a huge controversy that led up to the night of the Oscars (including the night of with some very…interesting skit interpretations by Chris Rock and fellow members).
It seemed last night’s Tony Awards was a banishment to any idea of lack of diversification, especially when it comes to Broadway. Perhaps it even border-lined liberal defiance at the very idea of discrimination, focusing simply on talent and merit when making its decisions for the night and who would go home with an award. While there is still a long way to go in promoting fairness in casting measures and opportunities for people of all skin tones, last night was possibly an indication that Broadway, if not Hollywood, is moving in the right direction.
Thanks in large part to the show “Hamilton” (which sweeped the board with 11 wins and was nominated for 16 Tonys), all four musical acting awards (lead actor, lead actress, featured actor and featured actress) went to black actors, making it a first in the ceremony’s history.
Perhaps what made the night most special was that not only the winners, but many of the nominees across the board represented diverse backgrounds and encourage now, more than ever, children of all ages, skin tones, creeds and races to pursue the arts if that’s their heart’s ambition. There were 14 individual nominees who were actors of color, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Lupita Nyong’o and Sophie Okonedo. “Eclipsed,” the play written and produced by Danai Gurira, starring Lupita and exclusively played by black women, was nominated for best play. And the list goes on and on.
Creating roles, opportunities and setting role models is only one step in a long process of promoting diversity where there is none. In a time where it is vital to see representation and expanding definitions on who can be what, perhaps we can all take a lesson from the Tony Awards and administer it into our respective lives.
As a musician and performer myself, I am ecstatic to see where the Tony Awards is possibly heading and what doors this may open! What do you guys think of the award nominees and diversity?

Marjorie Harvey posted on Instagram in the same Balmain Resort 2016 look once sported by Kendall Jenner:
Both ladies opted for strappy shoes; Mrs. Harvey worked a brown camisole while Kendall opted for a chic crop top.
If you look closely, the ladies are actually wearing two versions of the same looks. Marjorie’s more geometric ensemble is from Balmain’s Resort 2016 collection.
Kendall’s was modeled in Balmain’s Spring 2016 runway show.
Both ladies look great! Kill it out real quick.

*Lil Kim and EJ Johnson have both worn the cardigan in this look.
