Happy Tuesday!
So last night, I was pleased to attend an event by sportswear brand Bandier, co-hosted by fitness juggernauts Reebok, Strut-This, and Ultracor.

Reebok, Strut-This, Ultracor, and Bandier have joined forces with artists Upendo, Christopher Lee Sauvé, and Malarko Hernandez to create athletic wear inspired by their unique artwork. Upendo, Sauvé, and Hernandez displayed their artwork at the Hole Gallery, while guests sipped cocktails and listened to sets by DJ Chelsea Leyland and Black Milk.

Pierre and I were in the building and snapped pictures of the event’s stylish attendees.
Take a look:

@FerminCreeps gave all black a kick with purple hair and green eyebrows.

Her friend went for understated in a pencil skirt and knit turtleneck.

This former Fashion Bomber embraced textures, prints, and distressed details.

This downtown fashionista rocked black pants with a Reebok x Upendo jacket that I must have.

Jeans and a vest were given some punch with a printed hoodie and a signature stance.

Lastly, yoga instructor extraordinaire and Reebok ambassador Tara Stiles threw up the deuces in a Reebox x Upendo cropped tee. Yes, abs!

As for me, I opted for a J Bailey high low cardigan with gray jeans, and add some punch with Reebok Ventilator kicks in rose gold.

It was a fun night, and I’m excited about all the fab and fashionable things Reebok has on the horizon!

**Upendo’s collaboration with Reebok is bomb!

*Bombshell Jame Jackson wrote a great recap/testimonial regarding Cocktails with Claire, D.C. for her site, The Blonde Misfit:

She wrote, “When you first arrived, a lovely foreground stood outside for you to get your ‘celebrity’ spotlight on. Once you walked in, you were greeted by lovely staff members, who helped with check-in, transitioning into the main rooms, and servers who strutted around with delicious hors d’oeuvres all evening for the festivities.”

“Anyone who reads Fashion Bomb Daily will know of Claire’s “Cool Online Finds” section, where she highlights and spotlights Black-owned businesses in an effort to contribute to and build our #BuyingBlack ongoing push into the community. For the first time, this year’s Cocktails With Claire featured lovely vendors who traveled far and near to sample their clothes and wears. Handmade fabrics, sewn and stitched purses, and sequin blazers immediately caught my eye, but the diversity continued to trend as wave after wave of vendor and stylist showed up and showed out with their sales.”

Beyoncé’s Topshop Athleisure Brand Will Launch in April 2016

2016 is already looking like a pretty fantastic year! We can say this because it has been announced that Beyoncé’s Topshop athleisure collection will be launching in April 2016, as reported by Telegraph.

TIDAL+X+1020+Amplified+HTC+Arrivals-beyonce

The announcement was made back in October, but we haven’t heard a peep from her camp or the brand about what’s to come—in true King Bey fashion. We know it’s a full-fledged business between the superstar and the British mega retailer, called Parkwood Topshop Athletic Ltd. We also know that accessories, apparel, and footwear targeting the dance, fitness, and sports categories will be up for grabs.

beyonce-by-ryan-mcginley-for-beat-winter-2015-2

25 countries are expected to get the collection when it drops, as well as online. You know this means long lines and possible Balmain x H&M-level mania upon release. No prices have been released either, but it should be aligned with Topshop’s high-street price points—with a few big ticket numbers mixed in.

beyonce-knowles-topshop-stripe-set

We’re definitely excited for this! Stay tuned for the lookbook, which should be released in a few months’ time.
