8 Eniko Parrish vs. Kim Kardashian in Balmain's Resort 2015 White Sheer Burnout Midi Dress

Eniko Parrish was spotted at the Ride Along 2 Miami Premiere alongside fiancé Kevin Hart in the same Balmain Resort 2015 White Sheer Burnout Midi Dress previously spied on Kim Kardashian:

While Eniko skewed simple in black sandals, Kim added a gold choker and lace up white Balmain sandals.
A similar dress was shown with glossy cuffs and those coveted black cage sandals in the fashion house’s Fall 2015 collection.

Both ladies rocked it, but I love Kim’s accoutrements. She made it pop!

  • Following its successful debut last summer, NYFW: Men’s is back featuring 60 menswear designers starting February 1. Some of FBD’s favorite designers will be presenting collections at Skylight Clarkson North and other locations around the city over the four-day period, including Pyer Moss, known for his politically relevant tees and luxury sportswear. (Complex)
Karl Lagerfeld

  • Karl Lagerfeld is the center of yet another story of a fashion designer facing accusations of tax evasion. Creative directors of Dolce & Gabbana faced a lengthy battle with tax authorities in Italy in 2014 and were ultimately cleared. Lagerfeld has been under investigation by French tax authorities for allegedly evading more than $20MM in taxes by setting up varying companies to funnel funds to tax-favorable countries including Ireland and the British Virgin Islands. We’ll be watching for the outcome of these investigations. (Forbes)

Ashley Graham Tapped As Face of New Forever21 Plus-Size Activewear Line

Last year there was a lot of conversation about plus-size in the fashion industry. Target launched their Ava & Viv line for larger sizes, Lane Bryant kicked up dust with their #ImNoAngel campaign which critiqued Victoria’s Secret beauty standards, Draya Michele expanded her line into plus and Styleite turned their entire website into a size-inclusive project. And now, Forever21 is debuting their plus-size activewear line.

Coming in at a robust 28 pieces, the line isn’t just for show. The team built up a stable of high-impact sports bras, moisture wicking leggings and anti-odor tops to get you through your work out.  To show it all off, they tapped popular model, Ashley Graham as the face of their campaign.

Perfect to pair with that new make-up from Birchbox, right?

Happy 2016, Bombers and Bombshells!
It’s the end of the first official week of 2016, and I challenge you to start the year off with a BANG.

August 2016 will mark 10 years of Fashion Bomb Daily fabulosity. And while things have changed so much over the years, the 10 year milestone plans to bring on so many amazing developments!

claire sulmers fashion bomb daily 2016 influencer best halston pink sweater bcbg max azria skirt blogger african american

The main change I will be making will include loosening the reigns over here so that new writers can thrive–and so that I can continue to pursue new projects. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, we’ve added new interns Jamé Jackson and Diandra Bolton, who will be lending their talent, along with staff writers Faith Cummings, Giselle Williams Thomas, Mikelle Street, Vuitton Bain, Olamide Oladipo, Esmesha Campbell, Danielle Nicole, and more.

My focus this year is on putting new talent into the spotlight…from journalists to designers, photographers, and makeup artists.

I’ve learned that the key to a fulfilling job is not just relishing in your blessings, but also blessing others.

I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support. Stay tuned for new dates for Cocktails with Claire, and many more exciting things to come here at FBD!

Here’s to stepping into 2016 in style…
xoxo,

Claire
