Kanye West Releases Images Dark, Cryptic Balenciaga x Gap Collection (Black Parkas, Jumpsuits, and Boots)

For someone who spent many years off of Instagram, Kanye West certainly knows how to leverage the social media platform in his favor, releasing pieces and stories on his terms!

This morning, he littered his page with pieces from his Gap x Balenciaga collection with Demna Gvasalia. Take a look:

Instead of models, West utilized dark faced slim cyborgs to model the pieces. While the black and dark gray color palette skews…depressing, there are some stand outs.

My personal favorite was a black catsuit and thigh high boots, that screams simple, effortless chic.

Pieces are simple and devoid of any loud logos, save for a few darkened GAP sweatshirts.

As with most things West, people will hate, then hop enthusiastically onto the bandwagon. The boots and strong shouldered sweatshirts are a must.

Meet The Celebrity Stylist Behind Your Favorite Looks Worn by Koffee, WizKid, Schoolboy Q and More: Ayishat Akanbi

Word on the streets says Koffee is releasing her new album ‘Gifted’ on March 25th! The Jamaican-born artist appeared wearing a quilted Casablanca jacket in the first moments of her music video for ‘Pull Up’, and we have London based celebrity stylist Ayishat Akanbi to thank for forging the artist’s signature style. Though born and raised in the UK, Ayishat’s family is originally from Ilorin in the Kwara State of Nigeria.

Akanbi studied media and cultural studies at the Kingston University where she unconventionally acquired a knack for men’s fashion. This led her to a deep dive into menswear, an area of styling that she has mastered over the past 10 years.

Through styling, she attracted the attention of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Sony RCA, SBTV and other major media companies in the UK, leading her to work with British talent like Dizzee Rascal, JLS, Amir Khan, Cher Lloyd, and Neon Jungle. On an international level, the stylist has dressed the likes of WizKid, Schoolboy Q, Chronixx and Labrinth. Ayishat’s work can be found in GQ, Dazed, Galore and she counts Nike, FILA, Adidas as well as G-Star Raw among her clients.

Apart from styling, Ayishat is a writer, photographer, a cultural commentator and intellect at heart. In August of 2021 she published her first book The Awokening: Clarity, Culture and Identity in the Web of Chaos where she discusses and contemplates topics like “wokeness”, black culture, gender identity and racism. In 2019 she told The Guardian “One of my biggest fears around the internet is to what degree it all makes us act the same, […] because I worry that if we fear some form of social exile, then how does truth ever prevail?”

Ayishat is the stylist who keeps it realer than real. With an open mind, the ability to adapt all whist maintaining true to her authentic self, this stylist is unfaltering as a forward thinking fashion chameleon. We cannot wait to witness what thought-provoking looks she’ll construct next, and for who!

Things for Women to Consider When Shopping for New Jeans

A close-up of a grill

Description automatically generated with low confidence

Jeans are a staple wardrobe item that we all need to have. They’re something we can dress up or down as needed and use in multiple seasons. Plus, there are options to suit all ages and body shapes, and they’re comfortable (usually!) to boot. 

However, buying a new pair isn’t typically a quick or easy thing to do. If you need some new jeans for your closet, read on for some factors to consider to help you find the right product for your needs.

Get Clear on the Different Jean Shapes and What Suits Your Body Shape

As with other clothes, when shopping for jeans, you’ll see that there are all sorts of styles to choose from, even though at first glance they may seem reasonably similar. For instance, jeans come in bootleg, straight leg, skinny, boyfriend, relaxed, cropped, and more styles. 

Different creations will give you a different look, so you need to think about the occasions where you want to wear jeans and what vibe you want to give off. Looser boyfriend jeans, for instance, may not be the ideal option for a sexy date night, while cropped jeans may be ideal for a casual barbecue or shopping trip with friends but not so perfect for the office. 

Think about whether you want low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise jeans, too, as different options may or may not suit your body type and the occasions you wish to utilize jeans for. It’s best to try on numerous styles to see how they look on you, specifically. Some products may look gorgeous on the models in advertisements or on the dummies in-store, but this doesn’t mean you’ll like how they feel and fit on you. Determine which jean shapes suit your body shape best and work from there. 

What looks great on one woman may not suit another. However, most ladies generally can pull off straight-leg or skinny jeans of at least some type. Plus, darker washes tend to be more flattering and slimming than white or light blue ones. Just be sure you choose jeans that fit correctly and that you can move in. Get items tailored if you need the hem taken up or other changes made for the optimum fit. 

Consider Washing and Maintenance

Once you get the right style(s) and fit of jeans for you, consider washing and maintenance factors, too, before making a purchase. Check the care instructions on the labels to see if products will be easy and convenient enough for you to take care of over time. 

Most jeans can be popped in the washing machine and even in the clothes dryer, too, which is handy. However, don’t take this as a given. Some products with lots of intricate details on them, such as lace or sequins or other additions, may need more careful maintenance that might annoy you. 

Bring Items to Help You Better Select New Jeans 

To help you get the perfect jeans for your needs, plan ahead. Take some items with you when you try jeans on to help you understand the overall look you’ll achieve. For example, wear suitable underwear (especially if you think you’ll want tight, skinny, or other jeans that could show off bulky underpants) and take some footwear of different styles and heel heights to get an idea of the length of jeans legs you need. 

Also, many people don’t think of this, but it helps to have a few different tops on you when trying jeans on to see how shirts will go with the bottoms. For instance, take along a few of your favorite graphic tees or other casual t-shirts that you’d wear often. This will help you see if you need to tuck the tops in entirely or part-way or if the rise of the jeans allows you to leave them untucked, which may be more comfortable or suitable for your body shape. 

Some tees are designed to sit higher in a crop style, while others have more length that can be versatile, so if you have a few with you when you shop, it’s easier to tell which jeans will and won’t work with what’s already in your closet. It also pays to take along some work shirts, a peplum style top, halter-necks or off-the-shoulder designs if you wear them, turtlenecks and basic sweaters, too, to ensure the jeans on your shortlist will be versatile enough for your needs. A person taking a selfie

As you browse and buy jeans, some other elements to keep in mind include checking the denim strength and thinking about sustainability and manufacturing ethics. Jeans are a wardrobe staple that we all tend to live in, so the more selective you are about what you buy, the better your investment of funds and the more wear you should get out of the products over the seasons ahead.
