Today’s Fashion Bombshell of the Day is Saidah from Louisiana, check her out below.
She writes, My style is bold, non-traditional, and expressive. Early exposure to Mardi Gras Indian costumes has greatly influenced my sense of style. I select fabrics, colors, and pattern combinations as if I were designing an Indian suit. I use the same attention to detail when fashioning my outfits.
She continued by saying, “Every outfit tells a story and expresses a feeling at that moment.”
Saidah’s style is very reminiscent of southern in your face fabulousness! Thanks Saidah.

A lot of women love clothes, but what they may love even more than buying their own clothes is having clothes bought for them. This combines the excitement of having a new piece with the thrill of also having a surprise. If you want to choose a jacket for a woman but aren’t sure where you should begin, here are a couple of handy tips on choosing the best jacket based on different styles.
Pick a Color Scheme
Finding a nice jacket for women may seem like a daunting task. One of the first things you can do is pick a color scheme to look at, which will rule out a lot of the options of jackets. If you are looking online, you can often do searches which will help you narrow down colors, so if you want something colorful, you know you can opt out of neutral colors such as black, white or beige. Alternatively, if you know that the person you are buying for doesn’t usually opt for colorful clothing, you could do the opposite and exclusively focus on these colors.
Look at Her Other Clothes
If you are trying to look for a new jacket and can’t quite make a decision, try and observe the other items of clothing that she tends to wear so that you can get some inspiration. This is one of the best things you can do, so you can try and appropriately match the jacket to her regular style. By doing this, you will be more likely to get her a successful purchase and something that she can wear often.
It is also good to observe her style so that you don’t buy something that clashes. More than simply thinking about whether the jacket itself is nice, you also need to consider what she could pair it with. It may feel like a time-consuming process, but it will be so worth it and finding an interesting jacket for women isn’t too hard when you know what you’re looking for.
Make Sure You Know Her Size
Having a jacket that fits well is just as important as having a jacket that looks good. If it doesn’t fit properly, it may end up looking pretty unflattering and won’t be worn as a result. The best thing to do is find out her size either by asking, or if the jacket is a surprise gift, then try and have a look at the sizes of some of her other jackets. A jacket also needs to fit properly to look good and keep the heat in, which is its primary function!
Jackets are such necessary and everyday pieces of clothing that your purchase will always be worthwhile. However, to make sure that it is a jacket that a woman would like to wear every day, it is definitely worth giving it a little bit of thought. This can actually be really fun too – so try and change your mindset and look at it as a fun project rather than a chore!

The Allan Virgo Atelier Collection IV, entitled “Introspective,” is a contemplation of the designer Allan Virgo’s journey during these uncertain times.
The 2016 election result had a traumatic effect on his psyche and as a Black creative in America, he started to feel hopeless as the country declined. Liberties were encroached upon and violence and race relations worsened. He was forced to retreat inwards for a perspective that would help him make sense of the current climate. This journey led him to his African ancestors; their struggles, their survival, their protests.
The African printed fabrics cut on bias and cowrie shells were tattooed on top of tailored wool coats.
The edges of the wool coats’ hemlines were left raw or painted white.
The Nylon puffer technical coat was hand painted abstractly.
Safety pins, which have become a symbol for the protestation of authority, were used to create texture with African printed fabric.
Shirley Chisholm and Kamala Harris on the backs of two of the outerwear pieces allude to hope and change.
The collection exudes his ancestors’ strength, courage, resilience, and most of all their power.
Bio:
Born in paradise, in the “Land of Wood and Water,” Jamaica, Allan Virgo was introduced to the world of fashion very early on. His journey began among the heaps and mounds of fabric and patterns in his mother’s seamstress and dressmaking business. By the tender age of seven, Allan was already well versed in the art of garment making and construction. Under his mother’s tutelage, he developed and mastered the skill of making beautiful clothes, while understanding the importance of constant innovation and a strong work ethic.
After completing high school in Jamaica, Allan moved to New York where he attended the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Here he received an Associate Degree in Fashion Design, then a Bachelor of Science in International Trade and Marketing. He began his robust design career by playing an integral role on design teams such as Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons, Guess, Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole and Macy’s.
In 2010 through 2013 Allan Virgo returned to his native Jamaica to introduce his Spring/Summer collections at Jamaica StyleWeek. With an eccentric and unpredictable flair, Allan garnered critical acclaim and stellar reviews in the Jamaica Gleaner, Jamaican Observer, Fashion Bomb Daily Style Magazine, and was featured in Vogue Italia, and British Vogue. After a successful debut and with many years of experience, he decided it was time to launch his self-titled outerwear brand, based in New York. His philosophy can be encapsulated by a commitment to innovative design, craftsmanship, functionality, and quality that are influenced by the American culture around him and his Jamaican roots. Though it is entitled simply, “Allan Virgo,” his brand is anything but simple; he is known to challenge the aesthetic of typical ready-to-wear outerwear. The fame of the Allan Virgo brand is burgeoning amongst fashion’s elite buyers such as international retailer GILT Japan. Allan’s greatest hope for the future is to continue to challenge the norm by blurring the lines of his own artistic expression and wearable fashion while continuing to inspire others through his work.

The Faby’s Awards 2020 Designer of the Year Anifa Mvuemba of Hanifa recently called out Pretty Little Thing for copying her design.
The fast fashion retailer created their version of her $229 Veronique blouse (that debuted during her groundbreaking virtual show Pink Label Congo) for only $55. She took to Twitter to write, “I normally don’t speak on these things, however Pretty Little Nothing is Trash for this.”
Fast Fashion is known for creating the more budget friendly version of high end looks, from behemoth designers like Chloe to self funded operations like Hanifa. And while many are able to turn the other cheek when they score a dupe of a $700 boot for only $60 at Zara, it hits differently for designers who are making it happen on their own.
It’s not right, and it’s not ok, but sadly there is little recourse for designers, nor laws to protect them, as everything in fashion is about inspiration, and offering unique twists on established silhouettes.
As some said in our comments, Hanifa loyalists (myself included) will always go to the source, and never to the watered down version.
