Good day Bombshells! Today our #fashionbombshelloftheday is the divine @__zhanes : Zhane Smith living vivaciously in Atlanta, Ga.
Zhane describes her style as “…random, outlandish, modest and sometimes out of the box. I like to look at fashion like NY fashion week everyday, some days my outfits have a story to it and some days I just felt like being different because that’s what makes me happy. “
“My style sometimes causes a lot of controversy and negative feedback because I don’t usually follow trends. I HATE the color black, I’ve always been attracted to bright colors and patterns, black on me is boring and depressing while colors make me feel the exact opposite.”
” I love to always incorporate my religion (Islam) into my fashion, so I find it fun and challenging at times to see ways I can wear and match my turban to outfits.”
“ I find my inspiration by the location, event and scenery that I’m in and dress the part that I feel is appropriate.”
We love to see our Bombshells zest for style and life! Which look of Zhane’s is your favorite?

Athletes and fashion go hand in hand and Serena Williams is no exception – this time, the icon has gone beyond wearing the brands and sitting front row at shows and can now officially add fashion designer to her already long, multi-hyphen portfolio.
The super-mom went from grand slamming at the U.S. Open to making her debut at New York Fashion Week in a quick-serve turnover time of fewer than three days. Williams presented her direct to consumer, size-inclusive (from XS to 3X) F/W 2019 collection from her namesake brand, at Klarna Style360 in Midtown to eager press and a front-row filled with celebrities such as Ashley Graham, Anna Wintour, Kim Kardashian West, and La La Anthony – although, Megan Markle was not there.
Using ’90s street style as inspiration, the designer showed a vibrant collection marketed to women much like herself: multitasking, do-it-allers. Women who are mothers, businesswomen, athletes and more. Her functional clothing seems to run the gamut of wardrobe choices from boardroom-ready plaid suits, knit sweaters, wrap skirts, and midi-dresses with an S-logo, to girls night out animal print bodycon, and even suede ensembles.
Inclusivity was the glaring theme in this show as the designer made it a point to showcase the same outfit on two varied sized models side by side, no doubt to demonstrate the range of which her collection spans.
“We call our larger sizes ‘Great,’ she told Elle.com. “We just want everyone to know that some pieces are exclusively ‘Great’ so ‘Great’ can feel ‘Great’ in their own piece.”
The collection also carried an essence of strength and ease of mobility, something the designer was able to capture from the women around her. Williams counts people like Anna Wintour as an inspiration, along with her mother of course. These are women who go against tradition and shows limitless potential for women.
“She’s (Wintour) broken so many boundaries and she’s so brave and so amazing and wow. These are women that I really look up to,” Williams said.
This collection embodies the woman who breaks limits. Never letting us forget her mom status first, the designer took her first fashion week bow wearing a snakeskin-print wrap skirt, sheer button-down lace top, and hightop sneakers with her daughter, Alexis, on her hip wearing a matching outfit.

Despite the warm weather, there’s no denying that Fall is on the way. Hot days have led into cool nights, and before you know it, we’ll be breaking out the chunky knits, jackets, and anoraks.
Of course we have all of our digs from seasons past, but Fall 2019 runway trends for men call for sleek suiting, animal prints, tie dye, and loads of layers.
Resident stylist Avon Dorsey has compiled the looks below, strictly for the fellas.
About the shoot, Avon says, “Having the opportunity to collaborate and style a high-end fashion editorial with Fashion Bomb Daily & Fashion Bomb Men, is definitely a dream come true! FBD is a legendary go-to staple for all things beauty & fashion, and it’s an iconic cultural institution that I’ve literally witnessed its founder Claire Sulmers build from the ground up. “
Romeo Hunte “Reversible Varick” poncho. Karl Lagerfeld Paris “Hidden Hood Zip” jacket. Psycho Bunny polo shirt. Ben Sherman “Tonic Camden” trousers. Karl Lagerfeld Paris “Hiker” boots. Chanel “No. 5 Paris” baseball cap. LuvMyJewelry “Fossil Agate Stone” ring, and “Born Drifter Band” ring.
He continues, “This new men’s feature that Claire blessed me with the chance to create is a dedication to dark-skin Black men, who often times get overlooked by the industry. I wanted to take all the Fall/Winter ‘19 men’s runway trends and place them on a beautiful, male model so that the translation ‘from picture to reality’ could be more clear. When people see themselves in fashion, they’re more apt to participate and ultimately make a purchase, and that’s what we’ve done with this editorial- making the runway trends accessible via the FBD shop site. “
Dorsey concludes, “Nothing is dulled down here, everything is vivid —from the vibrant images shot by Kelvin Williams, to the clean presentation of the clothing— just like the start of a new season! “
