With NYFW now safely over, London Fashion Week boldly kicked off this Friday with 7 presentations by 7 distinct fashion designers from around the world – from Japanese-owned Daks serving all-black British tailoring to emerging Hong Kong designer Ryan Lo kitting women in bubblegum pink fancy. We’ve got the lowdown on all the happenings from Day 1 and more!
Chinatown Inspiration at Ryan Lo
London has the strong reputation for fostering a highly experimental design culture, most often tapped into by its growing new designers hailing from prestigious fashion institutions such as Central Saint Martins and Royal College of Art. Ryan Lo is a new member of this experimenting set and presented a pastel dominant love ode to his hometown of Hong Kong for LFW.
No Cigar for Daks
On the other end of the spectrum, Japanese-owned Daks has survived for over 100 years. The collection’s menswear and womenswear pieces embraced its heritage British tailoring and added a few twists, albeit unsuccessfully. Feather bits from long overcoats found their way all over the runway and hems fell out of place on menswear suiting. Despite some interesting outfits, there was little comfort in practicality for everyday wear.
Kilts at Le Kilt
Inspired by the kilt, but no longer channeling Britney Spears schoolgirl ambition? Scottish brand Le Kilt had all the tradition of the tartan cultural symbol, but with a steady balance of modernity and wearability as well. Super pleated, belted, and garnished with enormous safety pins, these skirts cut a striking silhouette and the belt-like collars added an edgy touch.
Felder Felder
A pleasing collection from Day 1 was Felder Felder, a London-based womenswear range from twins Daniela and Annette Felder. Full of amusement and whiffs of seduction, these pieces seemed ready for a place in Rihanna’s wardrobe. As committed vegans, sisters Felder incorporated many sustainable elements into their designs, including recycled plastic and CDs, but with how seamlessly the collection moved, the audience could barely tell.
And The Rest…
Matching and contrasting piping on virgin wool was all the focus at Edeline Lee. Abstract art and asymmetry found its place in sophisticated womenswear at Eudon Choi and Korean designer J. JS Lee played with pigmented separates for the professional in mind.
Getting excited for Day 2? Here’s what to look forward to!
Shows: Central Saint Martins, Duro Olowu and more!
As some of you may know, I returned home earlier this week (to Houston) after an eventful New York Fashion Week! And, I had the time of my life. I got the chance to meet our extraordinary intern Jame and I finally got the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of The Big Apple.
So, once again, I’d like to send a huge thank you to our EIC Claire for such a lovely trip. But, enough of my babbling (lol), let’s get into some of our favorite looks of the week…
Mommy-to-be Chrissy Teigen and hubby John Legend were on hand for the 58th Annual GRAMMY Awards and their red carpet appearance literally broke the internet! Ringing in with about 18,000 likes on Fashion Bomb Daily’s Instagram, this bomb couple was the epitome of chic; however, Chrissy was the true showstopper. The model uplifted a caped white number byYousef Al-Jasmithat complimented her baby bump perfectly. She also accesssorized with a matching clutch and white sandals. Aren’t they adorable?
Taylor Swift brought pops of color and sartorial drama to the GRAMMY red carpet! The songstress effortlessly slayed in a tangerine orange bandeau and a jaw-dropping magenta thigh-high slit skirt byVersace. Although her ‘fit is fairly simple, the boldness of the hues paired with her overall fierceness only adds to the beauty of this look. The starlet topped everything off with a pair of metallic heels. Okay, girl!
American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez stopped by The Tonight Showwith Jimmy Fallon earlier this week and (as usual) she slayed my entire being. The multi-talented style maven showed off her toned gams in a Fall 2015 Blumarine crystal embroidered cocktail dress. Her look features sheer sleeves, intricate metallic detailing and a high neck. Cute!
Miss Zendaya Colemen chose to go the edgy route as she attended the Universal Music Group GRAMMY After Party. The style maven turned heads as she donned a monochromatic look while showcasing a Pre-Fall 2016 Fausto Puglisi black belted high-slit gown and matching gladiator sandals from the brand. Initially, I thought I was completely over the whole “sheer revolution” but this chick has me second guessing all of that. (Sidenote: And, I’m loving her blonde bowl cut!)
TV personality LaLa Anthony was on the scene for the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend! The style pro took to Instagram as she smized for the camera in a $3,580 Balmain wrap effect jacquard dress. The statement-making piece houses a flamboyant red-orange tiger print and a serious slit. LaLa amped up the arsenal as she paired her frock with black over-the-knee boots.
Karrueche Tran has been busy as bee lately, right? The stylist/model celebrated the launch of her cosmetics line (Karrueche x ColourPop) at her KaePop Brunch in West Hollywood. For the occasion, K slipped into a white halter neck dress by Bossa. The hot number features gold double-breasted buttons and cutout detailing. Werk!
And last (but certainly not least), we have my girl Jazmine Sullivan! The gorgeous singer also made an appearance at the 58th Annual GRAMMY Awards while rocking a form-fitting black Michael Costellogown. Her flawless dress boasts a plunging neckline, a fishtail hem and embellished bell sleeves. When I first spotted this picture on the ‘Gram, I couldn’t stop double tapping! Hands down, this is my favorite look this week.She betta werk!
Amandla Stenberg by Adrian Mesko for ASOS Magazine Spring/Summer 2016.
On the hyper-sexualization of girls her age:
“We live in a society where girls are hyper-sexualised, but I don’t feel like me or my friends are victimised by it. We’re learning how to take control of our identities and I’m asserting my gender identity and my sexuality. It’s scary and overwhelming, but I feel empowered, ready to take on the world. I’m surrounded by people who are really changing things by being themselves and that’s exciting.”
On social justice and representation:
“I’ve always been passionate about social justice and creating representation for people who are under-represented. But now I’m able to express my opinion on a public platform. I used to be too scared to do it and it is scary, but it’s worth it. The internet has made it possible to synthesize ideas into things that are shareable for people who don’t want to read [US author, feminist and social activist] bell hooks.”
On #blacklivesmatter:
“When I say black lives matter, I’m not saying white lives don’t, I’m just saying that this is a group of people that has been systematically repressed for generations so it’s necessary to shed light on it to undo those wounds. Some people think that it’s trying to exclude white people, but that’s not the point. The point is to uplift voices that have been silenced and that’s a problem in the way we’re treating race. Celebrating people of color and oppressed groups does not equate to the slander of white people, and yet the way that people respond to it is, “You’re being racist! Reverse racism!” But honestly, I feel like there are so many more people who are trying to learn than there are people who are closed-minded. At least I hope so.”
On trolls:
“I’m lucky. I can talk about the things I care about and the scariest thing that can happen is that someone says something mean to me from their keyboard thousands of miles away,’ she says. ‘I think conversation is so healthy and important. Ignorance is not, intolerance is not, closed-mindedness is not.”
On the change she wants to see in Hollywood:
“I think it’s easy to say that Hollywood is changing because we had movies like 12 Years A Slave and Selma, and those movies are so important, but it’s easy to just write off people of colour by saying, ‘Oh, we had that one movie, we don’t need more.’ It’s easy to create a token slot, and while things are changing, I don’t think they’re changing fast enough. I want to change people’s mentalities even though that’s a tall glass to fill.”
On her comic book:
“I met Sebastian Jones, who wrote it with me, at a festival called Mixed Remixed. It’s a festival for mixed people, bi-racial people. He introduced me to his company Stranger Comics and a character he had created called Niobe. I grew up loving fantasy and Niobe is the kick-ass character I wanted when I was little. We started a novel and wrote a couple of chapters until I said, ‘I don’t think I can do this now, I’m in 11th grade!’ So we decided to make a comic book instead. I’d love to play her in a film. We’re inching toward that.”
On her friendships with Tavi Gevinson, Lorde, Willow Smith, and Kiernan Shipka:
“My friends and I do a lot of driving round listening to 80s power ballads with the windows down – Time After Time, Forever Young or the soundtrack to Twin Peaks. We’ll stop to get In-N-Out, keep driving, go to a diner, have some pie, keep driving. Driving around LA has given me some of my quintessential teenage memories. I was obsessed with Tavi and Willow before I met them – I had posters of them up in my room – and now they’re some of my closest friends. Willow is unapologetically herself and that inspires me. And Rookie magazine introduced me to feminism and I continuously learn from Tavi. Now she learns from me, too, because I bring a different perspective.”

It’s Friiiiiiiidaaaaaaay! *Breaks out into dance* We had to end off NYFW with a bang, so today I give to you Nekiah from Dallas:
She says, “My name is Nekiah and I’m in Dallas, TX by way of Parker, Arizona.”
“If I had to categorize my style, I would call it classy with a touch of drama.”
“In an effort to inspire by promoting self-love and body confidence, I decided to share my style through this blog.”
“My goal is to prove that no matter your dress size…you can “rock” fashion and look great!”
“I believe the key to great style is finding inspiration, being creative and displaying confidence.”
“I hope you are inspired!”
Here are some more photos Nekiah sent us:
Nekiah…I need my edges back. You snatched them honey! That green/black/white outfit was my top outfit, but I literally loved everything. Everyone can keep up with Nekiah on IG:@reztothecity . So what do you think of her style?
