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.”

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.

Teddy bear coats have been in the spotlight for a little while now as the perfect winter-time outerwear essential. Teddy bear coats get their name from their fleece like material, reminiscent of our childhood teddy bears. Not to mention they are incredibly cozy.
The first teddy bear coat to make its’ mark was the Max Mara Teddy Bear Icon coat rocked by Kim Kardashian way back in 2013. Since then, there have been many variations from the original tan, long length coat – proving this is a wardrobe staple that’s here to stay.

The beauty industry have made leaps and bounds in technologies for skincare. Facial peels, microdermabrasion and light therapy are all go-to treatments for many beauty junkies. But sometimes, you just got to listen to your momma and use tried and true methods of skincare.
As we know, crystals have been having a bit of a moment in spiritual and wellness circles. Gwyneth Paltrow, Miranda Kerr, Victoria Beckham have all been known to be advocators of crystals. Crystal use in beauty is nothing new, Jade face rollers have been recorded all the way back to seventh century China rumoured to have been favoured by royalty.
So why is everyone so obsessed with them and what are they supposed to do?
The action of face rollers are known to reduce puffiness through the promotion of lymphatic drainage, as well as smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Increased blood circulation leads to your skin releasing toxins, improving your skins’ brightness. Through all this, regular use of crystal face rollers can improve skin tone and elasticity also.
Your crystal face rollers are best used with your serums or face oils. Remember to massage in an upwards direction following the contours of your face, under eyes and neck. You can gently warm up your roller by placing it in warm water or for extra de-puffing (and tightened pores) action, keep your roller in the fridge for a cooling effect.
There are many different types of crystals used as face rollers. Most popular are jade and rose quartz rollers but there are also options made from amethyst and opalite.
Happy Wednesday!
Popping in to quickly tell you about Virgin Hair Depot’s 613c collection!
As many of you know, about a year ago, I traded in my signature blonde Locs, for red Locs before I cut it all off and started to dip my toe into the world of hair (see the YouTube video here). Blonde is my ‘thing’…but finding great wigs that were thick, great quality, didn’t shed, and had movement was difficult for a long time! I was so happy to find Virgin Hair Depot, whose 613C collection of 100% human hair features all sorts of textures, lengths, and tones.
Since discovering Virgin Hair Depot, I’ve had lots of fun playing with lengths and cuts.
I stand by their quality, and encourage you to check them out (and tell them I sent you!).
See more and shop at VirginHairDepot.com.
