Christina writes, “I would describe my style as classy, sexy, chic. I love creating timeless looks when playing with trends. So when I look back, 5 or 10 years later, I curated something I could wear again. I’ve recently had the opportunity to work with a few costume designers and wardrobe stylists. I currently live in Atlanta, GA. I’ve had my blog for about 1.5 years looking to increase my following and continue creating timeless looks.”
Our 2nd bombshell of the week was Junytza from New York.
On a Instagram post earlier this year , Junytza expresses how difficult it may be to gain inspiration during the pandemic. She writes, “It’s easy to find inspiration from others. It’s easy to copy others. But when you start realizing your own potential; you will find your own unique spark.”
She writes, “My name is Naya out of Virginia. I believe that I have what it takes to be featured as a Fashion Bombshell due to the uniqueness of my style. I would describe my style as fun, colorful, and eclectic.“

While in Atlanta, I spent almost every day with a designer you should have on your radar: London Couture Est. 90!
The Richmond, Virginia native (whose real name is London), has dressed many fly fashionistas you know, including Emily B, Alonzo Arnold, Fantasia, Ashanti, Marlo Hampton, Alonzo Arnold, ParisChea, and of course yours truly!
He got his start in fashion in a bit of an unconventional way. He says, “My first client was my pastor’s wife assistant. She was like, ‘You’re gonna make this dress for me, I’m going to this banquet.’ I was fresh out of fashion school and I was like, ‘No I’m not, I’m not making this dress!’ She showed up to my door with a bag of fabric. I yielded and made the dress. The dress turned out so amazing and she got so many compliments, that after that moment, I was booked out 5-6 months at a time to the point where I could not take any more clients. I realized in that moment, I had a gift. I decided to take it a little bit more seriously.”
Since then, he has moved to Atlanta and set up shop at the Ivy Showroom (800 Miami Circle, Atlanta, GA 30324), ATL’s preeminent black owned rental house, which offers designer pieces for use in photo and video shoots.
For those who want to become fashion designers, London offers the following advice, “Once you get that inkling that this is what you want to do, take it seriously. Believe in what you want to do. Go hard. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. You have to spend countless days and nights pouring into your talent. In order to come out wth a spectacular piece, you have to do the research. Find out the structure, [find out the] fabrics. Put time and effort. Be ok with sacrifice. Own your talent. Go for it.”
Follow him and his fabulous creations on Instagram @LondonCouture.Est90, and send him a DM if you ever need a custom look for your next big event!
After the cancellation of Telfar and GAP’s collaboration, the newly awarded CFDA Accessories Designer of the Year Telfar Clemens announced that the brand would be partnering with the fashion brand UGG for a collection next year. With its immensely popular shopping bags causing major buzz for the brand, fans are even more excited for Telfar’s upcoming project with UGG.
On Wednesday, Telfar teased with a video off a crystal embellished tee featuring the UGG and Telfar logo along with the caption “COMING 2021: TELFAR x UGG”.
Backed by the slogan of being “for everyone”, it seems to be quite a fitting collaboration as the Telfar plans to bring back the iconic 2003 UGG silhouette which was indeed every woman’s go-to shoe. Telfar even created his own version of the UGG boot which was spotted on the runways for its FW10 and FW14 collections, serving as a full circle moment for the brand.
The “Feel UGG” collaboration between Telfar and UGG is expected to release in Fall 2021 accompanied by two other designers based in London who will be soon announced.

Justin Haynes recently kicked off New York Fashion Week with his JUS10H brand showing its “Flaxen Rose” collection in the heart of Times Squares during Times Square Fashion Week. Accompanied by his own digital billboard in the Father Duffy Square, the collection featured Fall garments like sweaters and blazers with his signature patchwork style in yellow, blue, and orange color palette. The collection was also very much in-tune with the times we’re in as it featured face masks that mimicked the apparel’s designs!
Justin Haynes described the Flaxen Rose collection, “I created a bright, exuberant line with a loud splash of yellow. I never chose the one dominant color. My goal was doing something bright and colorful to remind us that fashion and color are still relevant and that we are all still alive. I wanted to do something vibrant that represented that. The color yellow takes our minds off everything that’s going on currently.“

It is no secret that Torlowei’s designs are rooted in Africa. In fact, the brand is heavily influenced by African’s artistic culture. Torlowei takes Africa’s classic silhouettes and reimagines them with vibrant colors and eccentric prints and shapes inspired by fauvism and cubism. Moreover, the brand tends to focus on generational traditions rather than the latest trends. They truly capture the brand’s notion of “timelessness” by providing the wearer with pieces that be carried on through many generations.

Torlowei also places a high level of importance on transparency, ethical responsibility, and sustainability when it comes to production and design. US Brand Advisors Vanessa Masters-Prempeh and Okey Nwoke expressed how Torlowei specifically selects suppliers and subcontractors who share their same views when it comes to sustainable matters like reduced water usage and ethics like safe, healthy working conditions for workers.
