When it comes to fashion, we find ourselves having to choose between affordability and quality. Sustainable and ethical practices are also an important factor when it comes to clothes. Now more than ever, we are interested in knowing where the garments used to make our clothes come from, and the people involved in the making of our clothes and goods.

 

Jellabiya is an up and coming brand that blends traditional and modern African fashion, based in NYC and handmade by talented senegalese artisans in Senegal, West Africa. Their mission is to empower modern women by creating unique designs and high quality products. Each garment is made to make you feel modest, confident, and powerful.

Their collections include a wide variety of dresses, pants, suits, abayas, loungewear, and beachwear. All of Jellabiya’s high-quality fabrics are woven with the philosophy that every person deserves to feel special, confident, and powerful especially without breaking the bank.

Jellabiya CEO and designer, Khady Ndiaye, founded the company in 2019. She wanted a way to express her true self in all the roles that build her identity: Muslim, mother, wife, woman in tech, entrepreneur, and proud Senegalese. She felt touched by female strength and independence, and now strives to provide all women with a fine, yet affordable line, influenced by the artistry of African culture.

“As a woman who wears multiple hats, it’s important to feel confident on a daily basis, when I look my best, I feel my best, and I’m able to portray the best version of myself. That’s what inspires every garment of our collections. I want women to be able to express themselves freely and in the best way possible. I want them to feel confident and empowered.” Khady says. Jellabiya aims to help women reveal their inner beauty through fashion, and is excelling at doing so.

For their seventh anniversary, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade went on what they called the “Wade World Tour 2021” as they traveled to different global locations with their children, celebrating their seven years of marriage. For one stop, the family went to Paris where the Wades held an anniversary dinner at the luxe Peninsula Paris. On the scene, we spied the “Shady Baby” aka Kaavia James who donned an adorably stylish Lanvin look, showing us and the world that she’s a mini fashionista to watch.

Kaavia James wore Lanvin’s $669 white ruffle hem dress, which she humorously called an “emotional support dress” that gave her “confidence to steal the show” in her Instagram post. She paired the dress with $179 pink ballet flats, styled by Thomas Christos. For accessories, the little one carried her two stuffed animals.

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade both rocked Valentino looks for the anniversary festivities.

So cute!

After Dolce and Gabbana’s Alta Moda show, the brand continued with more fashion festivities including a runway show for its Alta Sartoria collection. Many of the guests from the previous show returned, rocking new looks. We spotted Normani, Megan Thee Stallion, Zerina Akers, Bryon Javar, Kollin Carter, and more once again. There was also a bomb style moment supplied by the Combs sisters and Ciara who all rocked Dolce and Gabbana looks.

The Combs twins Jessie and D’Lila rocked Dolce and Gabbana’s $10,110 long pleated dress paired with black rectangular box clutches. The young ladies also rocked their hair in wavy up-styled ponytails.

Chance Combs wore Dolce and Gabbana’s $925 Damier jacquard-woven top and $995 patchwork jacquard mini skirt. She draped a white and black blazer over her shoulders. For a pop of color, she paired the look with the brand’s $795 Bianca DG Logo Patent Flat Sandals. She finished the look with hoop earrings and a $695 Dolce and Gabbana “DG Girls” mini bag.

Ciara rocked a menswear-style black double breasted blazer and trousers, styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn. For accessories, she went with a jewel adorned choker necklace and a pair of what appears to be embellished patent leather loafers. The singer later switched to a pair of pearl-studded heeled sandals as she posed alongside her glam squad including her stylists, makeup artist Yolanda Frederick, and hairstylist César DeLeön Ramîrez.

We’re so here for this moment!

Ari Fletcher shared a new look on the ‘gram where she snagged a quick flick in an elevator, stating that she was “going all the way to the top”. The media personality was outfitted in a casual look featuring a white Fashion Nova dress.

Ari Fletcher wore Fashion Nova’s $19.99 All You Need Midi Dress in white. The body-hugging dress appears in a midi-length style with a slit v-neck detail on the neckline. Ari wears the dress in white, but it is available in black and red as well. The entrepreneur paired the dress with a distressed cropped denim jacket and Nike sneakers.

In typical Kanye West fashion, the third DONDA listening party was another one for the books. Taking place in the rapper’s hometown of Chicago at the Soldier Field, West’s team recreated his childhood home at the venue for the latest listening event. There were also controversial moments as the artist brought out DaBaby and Marilyn Manson, both of which have caught backlash in the media due to homophobic comments and sexual assault accusations. Not to mention, the 44 year-old fashion designer also set himself ablaze during the event where he was put out with no confirmed injuries! Closing the event out, a wedding dress-outfitted Kim Kardashian walked toward Kanye West where the two exchanged a few inaudible words and the venue went to black.

For the “wedding scene” of the DONDA listening event, Kim Kardashian wore Balenciaga Fall 2021 Haute Couture “Look 63”. The estranged couple seemed to be recreating their wedding day in Florence, Italy where the two wore Givenchy, under Riccardo Tisci, ensembles.

Kim Kardashian rocked another Balenciaga look while backstage with Saint West and Kanye West. The entrepreneur was outfitted in the brand’s Spring 2021 leather trench coat (unavailable), $2,250 Knife Shark leather over-the-knee boots, and BB0041S sunglasses.

Despite many pushbacks, DONDA is now available and streaming Apple Music!
