Karyl L. Truesdale writes, “Claire Siobhan Sulmers. An innovator, Author, Harvard graduate and CEO of the popular fashion blog The Fashion Bomb Daily, Sulmers is a fashion industry force. She’s a Black girl magic success story. Comfort, ease, and privilege did not catapult her into this career. It was quite the opposite, and her determination prevailed. Sulmers is a quintessential wild card, as she did not study fashion at her prestigious Ivy League alma mater. French and African American Studies was in her curriculum, and her astute disposition and sagacious business acumen shaped the trailblazer she has become. Today, she counts over 2 million followers on social media, which is testament to the 15 years she has been building her media empire. Sulmers is by nature down to earth, and unflinchingly wants to remain inclusive and diverse in an industry that is working towards long overdue change.“
He completed his look with a $2,000 LV shirt and $2,400 Rimowa x Dior Cigar case.
Both his shirt and jacket are the creations of the late, great Virgil Abloh, who said while designing the collection, “I feel like I’m writing a book with these collections. It’s one continuous logic about diversity and design…I’ve started to let my imagination run wild.”
He continued, “I try to create the world as I would like to see it in real life. Having something that’s pop culture and fashion, that’s an education and maybe opens minds. To me, that’s the North Star.”
His cigar case is actually a collaboration between Dior and Rimowa. Featuring Dior print across the signature hard-case silhouettes, the cigar case is apart of a range that consists of clutches, shoulder bags, and full-sized luggage.
In addition to Broken Land debuting their couture denim collaboration with Nordstrom, the event also stood as a showcase for other black female owned brands you should know!
If you’re not familiar with Broken Land, where have you been? The brand was founded by a lawyer, Janai Jackson (middle) , who wanted to reimagine denim in a couture way (read more about her here). Broken Land offers denim jackets, skirts, jeans, and now coats with pleating, fun patterns, and new silhouettes. It’s the bomb! While I have worn many pieces by the brand before, for the event, I opted for a few new items, including their dotted blouse and tiered mini skirt.
I also said hey to Samantha Black, a Jamaican American ready to wear designer, whose pieces have been spied on Gabrielle Union, Wendy Williams, and so many more.
Other brands in the building included Lasette__, a lingerie brand and Aura by Jewel, a line of chic statement earrings. If your line was showing at the event, please leave your info in the comments!
It was a fun time and a wonderful way to support black female designers.

I write, “Last Night’s Oscars were one for the books! After years of low ratings, Will Packer and Shayla Cowan produced a show that was full of diversity and history making moments, from performances to slaps! #Beyonce opened the show with her Oscar Nominated song “Be Alive,” an original song from the King Richard soundtrack. The lyrics go, “It’s so Good to be Alive. Got all my family by my side. Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried. That’s why I lift my head with pride.” It was a night to feel tremendous pride, particularly for the movie King Richard. Will Smith, who plays the no nonsense, hard nosed father to tennis phenoms Venus and Serena Williams in the film, brought home an Oscar for his portrayal. But while the world rejoiced with his historic win, his triumph was unfortunately overshadowed by the slap heard around the world—Smith smacked and verbally assaulted comedian Chris Rock for joking about wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia. While Will was apologetic later, and said he was defending his family (as he should), nothing can justify physical violence, no matter how tasteless the joke.”
