A fleeky, sharp winged eyeliner will forever be an elegant eye makeup look. Unfortunately, not all of us have been blessed with the ability to do perfect cat eyes’ every morning. Let alone be able to do the same on the other eye!

Young Australian university graduate cleverly came up with an easy solution to fix wonky and uneven eyeliner. Iris Smit from Perth featured on Australian’s version of Shark Tank earlier this year where she blew the sharks away with her The Quick Flick product, managing the secure a $300,000 investment.

Officially launched in June 2017, The Quick Flick simply is an eyeliner stamp and pen combined into one. The formula is insanely waterproof as well as vegan and cruelty free.

Easy to use and taking the Instagram world by storm, The Quick Flick is sure to be the next must-have in your make up bag.

How to use it? All you need to do is stamp the ‘winged’ end on the outer corner of your eyes. Flip the pen over and complete your eyeliner by using the brush side to connect the wing to the rest of your eye.

They are available in 3 sizes; Petite (8mm), Modest (10mm) and Grande (12mm) in a classic black color named Intense Black. The Quick Flick has also recently branched out into 2 new colors, Hot Fudge (deep chocolate brown) or Blue Velvet (dark navy blue).

The Quick Flick will set you back $35AUD/$26USD and offers international shipping. Get yours now here.

Today I wanted to bend your ear to a designer you must know: Kal Williams, the designer of VII Menswear Collection and co-Designer of Cynthia Bailey’s CB Vior handbags.

The serial entrepreneur grew up on the East Coast between Providence, Rhode Island and New York City before moving to Atlanta for Junior high school.

He says,”My background growing up as a first generation hip hop kid in New York, I watched fashion take off as a big cultural influence after working in the Entertainment Industry. It has armed me with a deep sense of understanding the background story of the 80’s & 90’s era to now, so I feel blessed to have been apart of that to give me a great foundation of understanding of fashion and street trends from all aspects.”

He continues, “I’ve always had a passion for fashion since I was young, my mom & dad owned a clothing store called “Freaky Fashions” so I was kinda involved as a kid helping out when my mom would go purchase inventory for the store. Being a breakdancer back in the day you had to be fresh so I always felt like I had good taste for putting things together visually and knew one day I would get my chance to design my own brands.”

His idea for the CB Vior line came about when Cynthia expressed a desire to create smaller bags at affordable prices. He says, “I came up with the name CB VIOR which means Vision & Interpretation. The CB are Cynthia’s initial’s.”

He adds, “My design philosophy is to about quality & function combined. Often nowadays we see nice designs that are poorly made so they don’t last long for the customer, this is not what I ever want for any of my design work. Our target audience is broad due to the appeal of the collection so that ranges from 18-50 yr olds, half women half men. Todays consumer lead’s a very active on the go lifestyle so our products help them to travel hands free while being stylish in either a messenger bag, fanny pack or mini backpack.”

In conclusion, he says, “We are currently offering a limited edition CB VIOR sportswear sweat shirt, so looks like we are moving into apparel selectively. You can stay updated with the brand on IG @CBVIOR or sign up for our email list for special offerings on our website at www.cbvior.com.”

For the fellas, also be sure to check out his VII Collection collection at VIICollection.com.

Singer, Celine Dion recently hopped on the gender neutral trend in fashion by collaborating with the Israeli childrenswear brand, nununu, to create the newest brand line called Celinununu. The idea of gender-neutrality and gender-binary is deeply rooted in the social issues of the country in terms of transgender rights, the gender pay gap, and other things. Gender neutrality is all about equality of the races and seeing everyone as one in the world.

Celine Dion announced the launching of the brand through a minute and 35 second video of the singer changing the colors in a maternity ward from pink and blue to black and white. The singer was then taken away by police for committing the act. Celinununy ditches the typical gender distinction colors and stereotypes and encourages equality through “combining two forces to be one voice”. The brand encourages parents to inspire their children to be free and allow them to express themselves however they please.

 

 

Happy Sunday, Bombers and Bombshells!
Today, we wanted to introduce you to LuxuryByFeyi, a high-end couture fashion brand based in London, England.

The brand presented their Spring/Summer 2019 collection titled the “Black Swan”, during London Fashion Week. Their most recent foray was dominated by black dresses: think multifaceted flared ball gowns, off the shoulder ruffled floor length frocks with silver acrylic mirror diamante, fringed cocktails dresses, and mini lacy numbers with rose flower and red grape accoutrements.

LuxuryByFeyi’s presentation closed the show with an Afro-beat sound track finale, chromatic luminance, and a branded light projection. Ethnic diversity was applied to model selection as each model graced the catwalk with authoritarian elegance.

CEO / Creative Director Feyisola Adeyemi says, “As a surrealist fashion designer, the idea behind the collection was to capture the natural beauty of animals and translate it into an elegant and surreal artistic feminine silhouette. Most of the garments showcased were animal shape embroidered handmade but still they all maintained a signature paisley pattern throughout. The gowns express a universal themes that resonate with many ethnic groups and am proud to present it in London during London Fashion Week, particularly working with Aston Martin Motors to bring the luxury aspect of the collection into light.”


With select sheer feathered dresses giving a playful, youthful chic vibe, it was a collection that wasn’t afraid to experiment with all different kind of styles and elements. The collection uplifted little black dresses with gemstones, pearls, black roses flower, artificial red grape fruit, acrylic mirrors, feathers, fringe accessories all on satin lace, tulle and sheer fabric.

Adeyemi adds, “LuxuryByFeyi is not just a fashion brand but a voice to the women and younger female generation, particularly from the African decent (not to limit themselves) that black female designers can also be heard globally in the luxury fashion industry.”

This is Fashion Nova, baby! We all know Cardi B is known for always wearing Fashion Nova despite her success and access to all things designer. Even before her rap career, Cardi would often shout out the online store in her viral videos.

Fashion Nova has become one of the most popular brands with a following of over 14 million followers on Instagram and worn by many celebrities such as the Kylie Jenner, Blac Chyna, Amber Rose, and Cardi’s sister, Hennessy. The brand also is responsible for the growth of influencer culture as their IG page is flooded with them and they continue to expand as they have now created a Fashion Nova Men.

 

Fashion Nova is known for their fit and sizes which caught the attention of many curvy women such as Cardi.

It is with a heavy heart we report that model and mother Kim Porter has died at the age of 47.

According to several reports, she had been suffering with pneumonia for weeks, and was found dead after respondents answered a 911 call of a “patient complaining of cardiac arrest.“

She leaves behind her children: Quincy, Christian Casey Combs, Jessie James Combs, D’Lila Star Combs, along with exes Al B. Sure and Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs.

Kim Porter was a quiet force in the industry; her good looks, quiet grace, and effortless style were her calling cards.

The Fashion Bomb Family extends its deepest condolences to the Porter and Combs family at this difficult time.

Happy Thursday!
