Highly anticipated with an aesthetically pleasing collection, PatBo shined so bright at New York Fashion Week that some of Patricia Bonaldi’s competitors may have to wear sunglasses in her presence.
That’s right! Founder and Creative Director Patricia Bonaldi, who’s fashion line PatBo is an abbreviation of her name, presented her Brazil-inspired collection inside the Atrium at Surrogate’s Court in Manhattan. The designer, who launched her line in 2001, has unapologetically reigned supreme in the fashion industry for her exceptional and impressive craftsmanship.

Bonaldi’s haute moment exuded modern day Hollywood, and gave us a fresh look at her beautifully crafted party-wear. Her designs, which were handmade by the best artisans of Brazil’s embroidery capital, included everything from embellished rhinestone gowns to strategically adorned velvet suits rich and lavish in brilliant colors. PatBo embellished on every fabric you can think of including sheer, velvet, silk and denim.

From sequins on sequins looks, that look as if they came out of a fashion-forward matrix, to double denim that’s perfectly embossed with rhinestones from the bralette to the pants, and off-the-shoulder coat, PatBo’s FW23 indulges in custom embroidery.
With 20 years in the game, Bonaldi’s next-level designs have gained the attention of celebs and influencers everywhere. From celebrities like Ciara, who has rocked one of PatBo’s cutout swimsuits while vacationing in Brazil, to Kelly Rowland, who shut down the internet in a remarkable custom beaded bandeau top and embellished layered skirt from Patbo’s previous Spring 2023 collection, it’s no surprise that Patbo is on everyone’s radar.
Bonaldi incorporated bedazzled bralettes and bandeau tops throughout her signified looks with pants and layered skirt completions that came in several silhouettes. Her outstanding use and implementation of multicolored beading at the hemlines of some of her garments demonstrates how Bonaldi’s talent has only elevated since the inception of PatBo.
Patbo took calculated risks with their extraordinary designs that embodied phenomenal hand-beading work with sculptural embellishments. Bonaldi is an avant-garde designer who has undeniably become a force in the industry.
Omar Salam is a man about the details, and this season he didn’t spare the ones that make a statement. For his label Sukeina’s Fall 2023 lineup, the French designer coated his collection is oversize zippers, fun fur, and gold trimmings.

This season, Salam toyed with the idea of perception. What does the Sukeina woman say to the world, and how does she frame these statements? In a world so driven by social media and the constant oversharing of our lives, Salam used exposed zippers to represent the notion of access. The use of sharp tailoring in both suiting and outerwear speaks to the clarity of the Sukeina woman. She’s direct, she’s sleek, and undoubtedly knows how to dress.

The extensive zippers ––though frequently used–– are only one of the main embellishments. Fur is used aplenty atop tailored sleeves and dress hems.

Coco Rocha closed the show in a black and fuchsia gown that didn’t spare any of the collection’s spotlighted details. Black fur lines the top of the confectionary skirt, and the sleeves are covered in sequin, while the crisp white collar speaks to the tailoring. Sukeina’s known in fashion as one of its “best kept secrets.” Here’s hoping this collection gets everybody talking out loud.
Video games are great ways to make money in the modern world. However, a great deal of hard work is required to do this. Since “work” has been added to video games, they are no longer fun to play. This is why many people who start down this road give up after only a few months.
Instead of turning their hobbies into professions, many people have grown to despise the very things they once loved. The market is also risky because of its high volume of customers. For every success story, there are hundreds of failed attempts.
Can You Get Paid to Play Games?
Yes, it is possible to earn money playing games. Aside from playing online games, creating video game content or working as a video game journalist, taking part in live professional gaming competitions, and live streaming their gameplay, there are several ways to get paid playing games, including

Ways To Play Games to Earn Money
The gaming industry is brimming with possibilities for making a name for yourself and a fortune. You can find a niche in video games – gry na pieniadze and make money doing something you enjoy, depending on your hobbies and availability. One such person is Gerard “HipHopGamer” Williams, who has been active in this field since 2007. Here are a few of the best ways to monetize your gaming time.
Earn Money Live Streaming
Everyone can broadcast their gaming in real time for everyone else to watch. Aim to cultivate a sizable following or a dedicated audience. The most popular platform for live streaming is Twitch, but users also have the option of using YouTube.
Getting people to watch a live stream takes time. You might not get 10 people watching simultaneously for months or 100 people for years. Most streamers never get to that point, and you need thousands of regular viewers to make a living by streaming video games.
Nowadays, there are too many people streaming. Why should I watch you when there are other popular streams? It’s hard. Be the best gamer in the world, have a unique sense of humor, or play games that nobody else does.
Streaming is easy to get started with, which is a good thing. You only need a good computer, games people want to watch, a good personality, and software that lets you stream. Make sure that your upload speed is fast enough for the stream and that your PC is powerful enough for the games you’re playing.
Engage in a game of e-sports
If you’re the kind of person who routinely crushes their buddies in Call of Duty or other online shooter events, consider looking at e-sports as a career option.
In e-sports tournaments, both pro and amateur gamers compete for prize pools worth millions of dollars. Millions of people tune in online to watch these things as they happen in real-time. Some of the most popular games in e-sports are first-person shooters, fighting games, and card games.
As of 2020, the highest-earning e-sports player has earned a career total of over $6,000,000. In the United States, the best e-sports competitions offer cash prizes of up to $200,000.
When there are five or six people in a tournament, the prize pool is bigger, and the prizes can be split more evenly. Although not every competitor will walk away with a six-figure prize, big bucks are up for grabs.
Take part in online card competitions
If you can’t get to a casino or other place to gamble, you can still play poker tournaments and other gambling games online and win real money. You may get a list of current or upcoming competitions or online casinos you can join to play virtual slots by performing a fast Google search for “online poker tournaments,” “online blackjack tournaments,” or going to a website like Casino.org.
Before you decide to use this way to make money by playing games online, you should check each website and tournament to ensure it is reputable and legal in your state.
Create How-To Manuals and Guides
People who are new to certain games like to read guides, particularly for multiplayer games where players compete against each other.
There are many ways to make game tutorials, such as putting written guides on a website, putting video guides on YouTube, or putting guides out as ebooks. Most of the time, ads and donations are used to make money from the first two, while sales are used to make money from the ebook route.
Participate in the Field of Games Journalism
Assuming you enjoy writing and are a dedicated gamer or lover of video games or e-sports, you should look into a career as a video game journalist. As a video game journalist, you’ll cover topics like industry trends, new releases, in-depth interviews with prominent players, and breaking news. You might also visit product launches, events, and tournaments to report on them.
The best places to start your career as a video game writer are on gaming-centric websites, blogs, and publications. You don’t have to look for a full-time job right away. Instead, you can work as a freelance writer or start your video game blog to show off your writing skills.
The Best Online Games That Pay Actual Cash
Are there any game applications that offer monetary compensation? They do; many of these applications have been known to pay out as much as one hundred thousand dollars to exceptionally fortunate players, although such outcomes are not frequent. If you’re going to be playing phone games anyway, why not try a few that will earn you money in 2023 instead of Candy Crush Saga or Wordle?

If you are a serious gamer, generating money through online games is something you should look into. People who like to perform in front of an audience or compete in tournaments can play games that pay real money. There are also opportunities for those interested in working more behind the scenes.
Be sure that the expectations you have of yourself are grounded in reality. You will unlikely make a six-figure income from online gaming unless you work full-time in this field.
But let’s say you’re ready to put in the time, effort, and commitment needed to build your platform and skills and connect with an audience. In that case, your online gaming addiction can become a respectable way to make money online.
Animal print has become Fashion Week commonplace, and the usual options are the iconic leopard and zebra, but Prabal Gurung looked to the sky this season. Across the runway, butterfly prints and patterns adorned a diverse range of styles and sizes. Draped knits, sashes, and dresses feature the wing design in a mosaic style.

Elsewhere, tailoring is bold-shouldered and sharp. Bold also speaks to the color story of this lineup. Vibrancy is varied and not spared even for an evening. Gurung embraces the trending pantless look and pairs it with one of the many fun outerwear pieces. The outerwear ranges in classic patterns with playful updates and cropped saturated furs.

Lace slip dresses and several night-out tops decorate this offering making it a party-forward lineup that’s sure to speak to the current It Girl class.
A new direction is being explored at Simkhai. Previously known as Jonathan Simkhai, the beloved American label has recently dropped the ‘Jonathan’ in its brand name and ushered in a new logo. This sense of breaking down the old to reveal the new is carried within the brand’s Fall 2023 collection.

The show opened with gowns cut through the middle and joined by metal beads. Elsewhere in the collection blazers are sliced to create jacket and skirt sets. The look comes in both day and evening options.

Simkhai’s usual taste for tailoring is done in a new direction. Experimenting with oversize belts atop bold shoulder trench coats and blazer mini dresses provided an overall NYC chic. Hardware embellishes leather looks as a cowl neck red leather dress is one of the collection’s standouts.

The collection also deconstructs style. Nearly every model wore heavy boots regardless if they wore evening gowns or moto leather looks, breaking down the linear style idea, as we’ve seen before at houses like Balenciaga and Gucci. Simkhai’s finale, however, offers a touch of glam. The new ‘S’ logo, designed in a bedazzled monogram, decorates outerwear and eveningwear.
A silver banquet decorated the Williamsburg Savings Bank. Chromatic tablecloths lay across silver tables that held silver food on mirror-effect trays. The whimsical runway scene was what you’d expect from Rodarte, but it was nothing compared to the gothic ethereality that walked among it.
For Fall 2023, Kate and Laura Mullevy commissioned their artist mother to draw them some fairies. These playful illustrations were used across the collection atop flowy cold-shoulder caftans and ruffle trim dresses.

But this isn’t a collection for just any kind of fairy. This lineup speaks to the dark and gothy. Each model strutted the runway in dark eye makeup and black lipstick. Black gowns in jersey and velvet opened the show, each with bell sleeves so dramatic they swept the runway with each stride.

Black V-shaped lace insets, mutton, sleeves, and double-breasted wool coats, touch on a Victorian feel, while beaded slip dresses and full tulle robes speak to an Old Hollywood glam.

The collection was already a spectacle, but the real drama came when over-the-top metallic fringe made its way down the runway in the shape of bold shoulder gowns and glamorous cape coats.

In true Rodarte style, this collection reflects the fun and whimsy of fashion. Something often compromised these days in place of quick trend turnovers and the constant focus on making the next It item. If Rodarte’s fairy world is one where fashion is first, sign me up.
The Dining with the Divas Luncheon raises funds for School Day Live, a signature Apollo program that offers live performances for K-12 students and detailed resources for both teaching and learning about those performances. For many young people, this is their first experience with live, professional performances. The program extends the “Apollo Experience” to school-aged children – connecting new generations of theatergoers, bringing topics and traditionally unheard voices to the forefront, and inviting them not only as audience members but also active participants. Due to the Apollo’s generous donors, all presentations are offered at no cost to the schools or participants and have been reimagined to present a hybrid of virtual and in-person productions.
With giving back to their communities on their agenda, the ladies of the luncheon came to slay! Take a look:
Executive Producer of the Apollo, Kamilah Forbes, was sharp in an Enagacio suit.

When it comes to glamor, you are going to get it from Christian Siriano. As one of the first designers to jet back to his signature lush post-lockdown, his Black Tie beauty and general over-the-top drama continue within his latest collection.

Siriano references the collection as a sexier take on ‘Aubrey Hepburn’s rose garden.’ There were pink, purple, and white roses lining the runway and filling the air with their lovely scent as the show notes featured the iconic actress’ image.
On the runway, models like Ya Jagne, Jocelyn Corona, and Coco Rocha dawned designs that also spoke to the garden theme. As oversize floral decals continue to trend upward, Siriano grabs hold of the latest fashion and delicately sprinkles it throughout his collection. The blooming decal adorns dress hems, tailored sleeves, gloves, and midriff cut-outs. Black and white take hold of this collection, outfitted in several red carpet-worthy offerings, but golden yellows and magenta tones create the right pop for a fall/winter collection.

Among those seated in front was Hollywood’s writer of the moment, Quinta Brunson, who wore a black outfit with a plunging pointed neckline. Julia Stiles sat beside her in a pink gown with long sleeves while the iconic Lindsay Lohan ––who was supporting her model siblings Dakota and Ali–– sat in a brown satin ensemble.

Last night Lebron James broke the NBA’s all-time scoring record. Surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bron scored his 38,388th point. Although his team, the Lakers, did not win against the OKC Thunder, James left Crypto Arena a history-making winner.
Before the game, James’ was only 36 points shy from breaking the record, and the celebs showed up to show their support in style. While the athletic all-star arrived in an all black suit accessorized with a gold pin embossed with the phrase ‘stay present’ and decorated with onyx trimming, courtside was lined with rappers, sport’s stars, and more looking as sharp as his shot.
