Kim Kardashian West's Cannes Lion Film Festival Balmain Fall 2015 Black and Gold Striped Jacket and Pants

Kim Kardashian West opted for stripes at the Cannes Lion Festival in a jacket and pants set from Balmain’s Fall 2015 collection:

She draped the jacket over her shoulders.

The pieces were modeled on the runway with a yellow belt, white low cut top, and purple clutch.

I like the outfit, but it doesn’t quite fit. The jacket seems small; the pants too long.
What do you think?

The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Rihanna To Launch Accessories Line, Zara Accused of Racial Discrimination, and Sites To Ban Confederate Flag Merchandise

_Rihanna's-Dior-Fall-2015-Tokyo-Show-Custom-Dior-Denim-Dress-and-Dior-Resort-2016-Lace-Up-Boots

  • Being a face of a high fashion brand like Dior isn’t enough for Rihanna–she wants to also be a designer.  Reports are surfacing that in addition to her recently launched temporary tattoos, the singer is set to drop an accessories collection.  Apparently Rih Rih filed an application for a new brand called $CHOOL KIlls searching for rights to work under the category of leather and other clothing products.  Sources have confessed that she will be dropping a line of totes and purses first and then going into full-fledged apparel later. Will you be buying? (Grazia)

  • Speaking of full, Fill Figured Fashion Week is going on this week with about 2,000 women expected to attend. The event will host 25 brands and 12 independent designers. Fruit of the Loom is the main sponsor of the events. (Fortune)

  • Lest you forget, Kendall Jenner is not just a model for Estee Lauder–she’s also a collaborator.  As such, the social media star has just released a new shade of red lipstick that the brand characterizes as “part poppy, part orange crush, all matte, all Kendall.” If you need that in your life, pony up $30 for your limited-edition bottle of Restless.

  • Mass retailer Zara is being accused of racial profiling and discrimination in a new report from The Center for Popular Democracy.  Apparently employees use the term “special order” to indicate to other employees that someone might be stealing and this term was disproportionately used towards black customers. Zara refutes these claims. (Racked)

  • In the wake of widespread calls for the state of South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from the State Grounds, a few major retailers like eBay, Sears and Wal-Mart are banning the sale of Confederate flag merchandise. eBay says that “This decision is consistent with our long-standing policy that prohibits items that promote or glorify hatred, violence and racial intolerance.” (CNN)

Nothing screams summer quite like a gorgeous wide brimmed fedora!
Patricia Field has several options in store, but I have an affinity for her $24 Paper Braid Option:

The wide brimmed option would be the perfect accent for a beachy excursion.

Take inspiration from Lupita Nyong’o, who wore a similar hat with a white bikini for a day in the sun and sand.

Thankfully Patricia Field’s option is more on the affordable side!

Her crop top features a high-neck with cut-away shoulders for a subtle flash of skin. It looks like she wore hers backwards so the zip was at the front. I like!
