Black History Month is still going on, but here at Fashion Bomb Daily we showcase what’s new and fresh when it comes to Black designers year round. Speaking of, let’s get into today’s Bomb Product of the Day: Tribal Eyes Eyewear!

Tribal Eyes Eyewear is not your typical pair of glasses. Launching just last year, Tribal Eyes Eyewear has already been featured in British GQ and Vanity Fair UK twice, making it a brand to definitely keep on your radar. The brand’s eyewear brings elements of African culture to everyday eyewear for everyone to enjoy.

Each pair of glasses in their rich colors and prints are meant to convey the many cultures and styles that encompass the African continent.

Our very own EIC Claire Sulmers has approved of this brand’s eyewear claiming that it is “where the money resides”. In other words, they’re a must-buy! She was spotted rocking the brand’s $175 “Badu” frames which are made of plastic and feature a half solid color, half Kente print design.

When buying from Tribal Eyes Eyewear, you get the option to select sunglass lenses or clear lenses.

Not to mention, a percentage of sales goes toward protective goggles for front line workers in African hospitals.

How Arab Online Fashion Platforms Contributing for New Hype in Fashion Industry

Posted by The Fashion Bomb Staff

The SARS COVID 19 pandemic caused a lot of economic problems last year and has adversely affected the global market economy. There were severe and extensive lockdowns in the Middle East and Arab countries which brought about a serious economic downturn. But, it also led to changes in people’s buying attitudes, and a lot of people moved on to online shopping, online education and so on. The economy suffered a lot because people were spending less, and this hints how cautious society had become. A lot of business owners suffered immensely during this period, and unfortunately, several establishments closed down permanently.

However, in the last two months, the Arab business world has started to show signs of recovery. One of the prime reasons for this is that business owners are moving on to eCommerce platforms for most of their sales. In this article, we will discuss about this new trend in the industry and how it can affect business in the future.

What are business owners focusing on at present?

During the lockdowns, the Middle Eastern countries had to close down all business establishments. Customers had to rely only on online retailers for groceries, hygiene products, household necessities and so on. 

Business owners are now more focused on managing the immediate repercussions of falling customer demand. The companies are trying to get more digital solutions, leverage third-party platforms, use social media to build relationship with customers. A lot of companies have made the decision to venture into eCommerce. This includes a number of fashion brands as well. Interestingly more and more local fashion brands are using influential personalities promote their brand. This has caused quite a significant hype in the local business industry. As Namshi, it is one of the named brand in the industry which is highly focusing on reaching new customers in the region with adorable collection promoting them through the ambassador (Face for Namshi) and with it’s outstanding discounts offered on fashion apparel by using Namshi coupon codes.

What are some crucial strategies for the future?

Perhaps the most important thing for business owners to do now is to build more demand. They have to sustain demands by offering optimum products for the best prices and provide consistent delivery.

Sustaining demand is key for any eCommerce platform. Ecommerce platforms also need to adapt to the present conditions and create a robust digital marketing strategy. They have to organize their essential and non-essential products into strict categories and prioritize the delivery of essential products. However, they should also push non-essential products like apparels during the marketing campaigns. 

Consumers are becoming cautious

Today, consumers are growing more cautious on what they spend. A lot of consumers admit that they are cutting their spending, and this means less business overall. Business owners are seeing rapid declines in their income, and people, in general, have seen immense falls in their household finances. 

People are actually unsure about the COVID 19 pandemic and when it would actually end. However, this has not stopped the economy from crashing. Consequently, people limited their spending. People are still being optimistic, but this does not mean that they are not willing to spend money. Luxury is still their priority but the stores like Ounass has got them in a way to keep up the luxury tag and being budget friendly with Ounass Discount Codes.

Permanence of Online Shopping

The Middle East has been the fastest grown e-commerce market, but the pandemic changed it more. Today consumers are more likely to buy their stuff online than from offline retailers. Online shopping has a lot of benefits also. For instance, you will get more stuff, more varieties, more options and most importantly, more discounts.

Brands have to prepare themselves to create new strategies to survive in the eCommerce business. They have to develop key marketing campaigns which can cause maximum impact and generate more sales as the online store H&M always does a great job on reaching corners in the region having the products promoted uniquely through brand’s stylish models and the discounts that it offers through H & M Promo Codes for online shopping.

Conclusion

Research studies have revealed that there is no universal solution to getting success on eCommerce platforms. This is especially true in the Middle East. However, brands have to focus on what their main priorities are and create campaigns based on that. Online shopping generates a lot of flexibility and diversity for consumers, and this is why it is bound to be successful. Brands need to provide this diversity to consumers in terms of the products that they can offer. It is likely that the use of eCommerce platforms for fashion products will continue in the future as wel. It remains to be seen how business owners adopt other changes. Hopefully, the information in this article will be useful to you.

How Anime Inspired a Street Style Fashion

Posted by The Fashion Bomb Staff
Posted on

We’re all more open-minded than ever before, and everyone has the confidence to create their own identity when it comes to fashion and the different styles. One style that has certainly broken away from the norm is anime-inspired fashion. Sure, it’s unique and different, but it serves a purpose, and it pushes boundaries too. So, what do we need to know about anime inspired fashion? Flirty chat rooms UK users shared their opinion that the styles seen on the streets of Harajuku started a change in fashion perceptions

It’s A Lifestyle as Opposed to Fashion

The reality is that anime is a way of life in countries such as Japan and China. However, it seems as though Japan is where anime is a part of life. Due to their desire to explore new things and push boundaries, the Japanese embrace anime and have turned it into something that is considered the lifestyle. In contrast, if someone walked down a street in London dressed in cosplay or simply any anime-inspired outfit, they’d turn heads for the wrong reasons. However, in Japan, it’s considered normal. 

Every day, people dress up in anime outfits and take to the streets, proving that it’s now a lifestyle choice as opposed to fashion.

Anime Dictates Fashion Rules

Fashion comes and goes. With fashion seasons and looks determined by celebrities, people are committed to keeping with the latest trends. This is true around the world, but of course, there are some exceptions to the rules. In Japan, there is a  specific way of life. Ride the train, and you’ll see people reading manga, wander around the shops, and you’ll find anime & videogame figurines and other products; picture-centric fabulous and bizarre art is everywhere.

However, the Japanese one is clear proof that fashion can be anything you want it to be when it comes to fashion. Feeling comfortable and confident underpins fashion’s real meaning, so wear what you want if it makes you happy. What anime shows is that looks and outfits are nothing more than a personal preference, regardless of what others believe.

From Cozy Anime Capes to Modern Streetwear

Street style fashion is wide and varied. It covers almost every aspect of fashion, keeping it exciting and intriguing. The reality is that street fashion has been inspired by those who choose to dress in anime-related outfits. Therefore, you’ll find people wearing capes, heavy make-up, bright clothes, and wild outfits, but that’s where it all begins. 

Modern streetwear has been driven by this desire to be unique and having the confidence to ignore others’ views enables creativity to seep through into every outfit and look. If you feel happy wearing a cape, then why not wear a cape? If you want to look funky and edgy, then go for the look you want.

The meaning behind fashion is obscure. It’s about creating a look or an image that’s true to you, and that’s where Japanese street fashion stands out.

It Creates a Feeling of Unity

Some people feel happier when they are part of something unique and special. While some might choose to be part of a group or a sports team, there are those who love wearing unique outfits related to their favorite characters and series. 

There’s no right or wrong here but wearing the same kind of outfits as others provides a feeling that they are part of something special. It involves being involved in a movement that’s changing perceptions and thoughts both in Japan and worldwide. While they might be shy or reserved individuals, dressing up in something special will give them the confidence to be who they want to be. This feeling of being a part of something encourages them to connect with others, share ideas and ignite their passion for fashion.

Being a part of the experience leaves them feeling content and important. What’s more, fans of the Japanese style can push the boundaries of change.

The Modern Aspect of Japanese Street Style

There is no denying that street fashion in Japan is unique. Take a stroll down through the city, and you’ll find people dressed in all kinds of outfits, so what can you expect?

Visual Kei  – Based around the glam rock and punk and Kabuki theatre, this look is all based around the music genre. You’ll find elaborate hairstyles and costumes that are flamboyant and unique.

Gyaru – This word translates as a girl, and it’s a type of fashion that apparently takes inspiration from Baywatch. They’ll wear sexy outfits and commonly have blonde hair. This culture started life in the 90s and has grown ever since.

Kogal – This is a truly unique fashion trend in Japan where girls will wear a schoolgirl outfit.  You can expect knee-high socks, dyed hair, and skirts.

Kimono Style – One of the most traditional outfits in Japan, but this long dress is a national outfit, and this T-shaped outfit is worn with a traditional look.

Kawaii Boys – These are cute boys who pay attention to their hair and look, so they continue until that becomes a lifestyle.

At the beginning of the article, we’ve said that wearing something like that on the streets of London will turn heads. But it isn’t completely true – it’s clear that uniqueness and inspiration coming from the Japanese style is slowly but spreading around the globe. The only thing stopping it from spreading like a fire is one of the well-known Western celebs picking it up, but we assume it is just around the corner.
