What better time than Women’s History Month to celebrate one of our most influential businesswomen Madame C.J. Walker, America’s first female self-made millionaire. Sundial Brands, the company behind Nubian Heritage and SheaMoisture, has launched a hair care line inspired by this legendary entrepreneur called Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture.
According to Sundial Brands, the hair care line focuses on the maintenance, styling, and treatment of all hair types. The sleek packaging taps into a pretty powerful aesthetic. The four color-coordinated collections – three of which are intended for styling and one for treatment – offer products designed to sustain, condition, detangle and seal in hair’s moisture.
The four collections are as follows: “Brassica Seed & Shea Oils Collection for smoothing and style-extending, Coconut & Moringa Oils Collection for frizz fighting and humidity, Jamaican Black Castor & Murumuru Oils Collection for curl-defining and and sealing in moisture, and one treatment collection, the Dream Come True Collection nourishing the scalp and hair strands.”
Lucky for us all, the Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture brand exclusively launches today in Sephora and Sephora.com!
The $96 Aurora dress will have you feeling fun and flirty thanks to its feminine color and feather trim.
No one dress is exactly alike as they are all made to order for each customer. Thanks to the individual customization, the dress will perfectly flatter your curves.

Amongst a slew of style-stars that sat front row, Lanvin presented a collection that was ethereal and mixed with metallics and color, although none too bright for the eye transitioning into Fall.
Throughout the collection, prints mixed as jacquard jackets married embroidered tops and textured bottoms. Hues of golds, yellows, greens and blues sailed down the runway, marked with black for added class and soft, subtle shading for ease. Almost floor-length hemlines hit the runway as lace dresses and intense outwear made their appearance; in general, nothing seemed too heavy to the eye or crazily out of place, rather a much more calm and collected version of seasons past (probably due to the accounted for absence of Creative Director, Alber Elbaz).
Dresses did not hug the body too tight nor fall too lose; random shades of metallics livened up the collection, whether in dresses, separate attire or in large fur coats of burnt oranges and neutrals.
Still with all of its subtlety, the collection was one of timeless pieces and perhaps a new mark on the aesthetic and branding that Lanvin is heading in. But with time.

The Parisian streets buzzed with intoxicating energy on Day 2 of Paris Fashion Week! There are few designers that truly bring the magic and wonder in their runway shows, but today saw a few brands a far cut above the rest, including FBD favorite Dries Van Noten. The ‘fashion show’ has evolved with the rise of social media, but the purpose of the runway collection was always to present a view or interpretation that was wholly original with balanced attention to the commercial viability of the products. Despite today’s distractions, here’s to hoping that emerging and seasoned brands alike strive for this magic and wonder in their Fall 2016 collections.
Eccentricity at Maison Margiela
Creative director John Galliano has certainly found his footing at Maison Margiela. This collection was all about ‘beauty and brutality . . . surrealism and realism.’ Yes, these were somewhat vague terms, but it also meant that almost anything could go for his Fall 2016 RTW presentation. Models were walking embodiments of this scattered symphony with dyed hair, comical waist-cinching belts, green clover decals, and military coats; however, with Galliano, we must celebrate the method to his madness.
Exuding Elegance at Dries Van Noten
If you’ve read our previous takes on Dries Van Noten, then you know that team FBD (and Rihanna!) supports the brand’s decadent, art/history/nature-inspired masterpieces. 20th-century femme fatale Marchesa Luisa Casati and the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio were the source of inspiration for the 66-piece collection. The smudged eyeshadow, the cricket sweaters, and the leopard-print pants were lasting touches – it was all controlled drama and in the only way we have come to expect from Dries Van Noten.
Dreaming at Rochas
Dreamy was the word of the hour and so much so, at times the Rochas Fall 2016 RTW collection felt like Spring. Save for a few heavy fur coats, the collection was super bright color-wise: citrus, peach, orange, and chartreuse added shots of lightness. Socks and satin platforms were the perfect festive accessories for Rochas’ version of fall. Even better, you can order looks straight off the runway next week, à la Moda Operandi.
Power Play at H&M
Major excitement was afoot for H&M Studio‘s Fall 2016 RTW collection. The Swedish fast fashion retailer brought out the big guns with a super-famous model line-up. Amber Valletta, Jourdan Dunn, and Natasha Poly led the pack, followed by powerhouses Ashley Graham, Andreja Pejic, Pat and daughter Anna Cleveland. But what about the clothes? Traditional Swedish folk dress was reconstructed into clever crop tops and over-the-knee boots – at least it was a modern-day interpretation.
And The Rest…
Vionnet‘s musical ode to the piano, harpsichord, and accordion generated flowing gowns accented with geometric detailing while Lemaire put forth a rationalized offering, simple pieces in neutral tones. Cédric Charlier played with the seaside through sailor buttons that trimmed pants, jackets, and even a honey-yellow knit dress.

You know Beyoncé can never let us take a break! She dropped “Formation” in the middle of the day on a Saturday and it looks like the tracklist for her new album—possibly with the same title—may have just leaked:
There are countless sites, Instagram feeds, Tumblrs, Pinterest boards, and Twitter accounts dedicated to her every move: par for the course when you’re one of the world’s biggest superstars. Reaction Beyoncé just tweeted out this potential tracklist:

We’re not one for fodder, but like most of the world, we’re just trying to keep up with King Bey! We’re working on confirming this news, but there’s a large chance she’ll just release it when we least expect it. Regardless, stay tuned!
