Fashion Recap: Jennifer Lopez’s All I Have Residency Las Vegas Opening Night Costumes featuring Custom Zuhair Murad, Versace And More!

So, last night Jennifer Lopez opened her highly anticipated “All I Have” three-year residency in Las Vegas at the AXIS at Planet Hollywood. The 46- year old siren served up all kinds of glamorous vibes as she proved why she is still one of the baddest in the game.

The superstar received rave reviews from fellow celebs including Justin Bieber and Kelly Osbourne–but it was her daring wardrobe that truly stole the show.

From barely-there stunners to embellished gowns, Jenny from the Block was an absolute vision in every look she uplifted; however, there is one number that keeps surfacing via social media. And, that was her sparkling custom Zuhair Murad catsuit! The mindblowing piece is drenched with Swarovski crystals and also features a bikini silhouette.

To top things off, she accented her dazzling gems (and her enviable bod) with a snow white fox fur coat by Lilly e Violetta.

As the performance progressed, the style icon continued to effortlessly slip in and out of her designer duds.

In addition to the electrifying Zuhair Murad number, the singer/actress also donned a striped fringe mini dress from Balmain’s Fall 2015 collection, a teal blue Zuhair Murad bustier and a feathered cape by Versace.

All in all, the show was filled with luxury and non-stop glam. According to People Style Watch, 260,000 crystals were used in the Versace pieces alone while taking a total of 2 months to create! But, hey, you can’t rush quality, right?!

Trayon Christian Wins $45,000 in Barney’s Racial Discrimination Lawsuit

Trayon Christian Wins $45,000 in Barney's Racial Discrimination Lawsuit
BarneysNYSettles

Trayon Christian, who was wrongfully profiled at Barney’s New York after purchasing a Salvatore Ferragamo belt, has received a $45,000 settlement from New York City.

To review, the then 18-year-old visited the luxury retailer to purchase a $349 reversible black and white Ferragamo belt. But upon presenting his debit card, the student was told that his card didn’t appear real; he was later apprehended, handcuffed, and taken to the 19th precinct stationhouse before he was released.

In August 2014, Barney’s paid $525,000 to settle racial discrimination claims.
Let’s hope they also invested serious funds into diversity training for their security and employees.

From Cornrows to Bantu Knots: Valentino Once Again Appropriates Black Hairstyle for their Pre-Fall 2016 Campaign

Valentino has once again chosen to utilize traditional African hair styles without incorporating a majority of models of color. This time the brand has chosen to appropriate Bantu Knots, a traditionally African hairstyle, on the models in their Pre-Fall 2016 campaign.

Valentino Once Again Appropriates Black Hairstyle for White Models

It almost seems like the brand is immune to the criticism as this comes right on the heels of public backlash regarding the use of ethnic-inspired clothing and hair styles on white models in their Spring 2016 campaign. Valentino has also been repeatedly criticized in the past for their prolific use of excess baby hairs and cornrows on runway after runway. And yet, the brand has yet to feature a significant amount models of color in any of their runways or campaigns.

African culture has become such a strong influence in the fashion industry without crediting the people and history that accompany it.  Bantu Knots have a rich history and cultural significance for African Americans, but last week Vogue displayed their ignorance by crediting their inspiration to 90s era Icelandic singer, Björk.

Valentino may be one of the most obvious perpetrators, but many major brands and publications continue to display this insensitivity towards African culture. These brands need to listen to the voices calling for change or at the very least acknowledge that these aren’t simply hairstyles, they are cultural phenomena.

What do you think? Will you continue to support Valentino or abandon them in hopes they will finally change their ways?

Fashion News: Grace Coddington Steps Down as Creative Director of American Vogue

0  Neneh Cherry, Grace Coddington, Lena Dunham, and more by Mark Lebon for i-D no. 322

It seems, yet again, that the fashion industry is going through some drastic changes. This morning, news broke that Grace Coddington, the woman whose held the title of Creative Director of American Vogue for nearly 30 years, is stepping down from the role effective immediately.

“After more than 25 years at American Vogue, Grace Coddington will assume the role of creative director at large and take on additional projects outside the magazine,” a spokesperson for American Vogue confirmed to a media outlet. “She will work on several Vogue fashion shoots throughout the year.”China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-grace-coddington

Unlike many rumors circulating for Dior or Alexander McQueen, there are no tentative plans to fill the role of creative director at this moment.

Under the management of a new agency, Coddington will be permitted to work on external projects outside of just the magazine.

“I’m not running away from Vogue, because it has opened so many doors. But it will be nice to collaborate [with other brands] and nice to go out [and] give talks to people. It’s just another approach. I’m certainly not going into retirement. I don’t want to sit around.” Coddington told reporters at Business of Fashion.

grace-coddington-memoir

While Coddington won many of our hearts initially in the 2009 documentary The September Issue, we can not wait to see what new projects she will take on and to see more sides to her artistic ability.

This fall, Phaidon will release a follow up to her memoir in 2002’s Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue, which will document Coddington’s work from the past 15 years.
