If there’s one person that fashionistas can’t get enough of, it’s Monica and her fabulous style over the years.

The ‘So Gone’ singer performed at Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour over the weekend and looked ultra chic in a yellow Louis Vuitton SS24 fur coat.

Designed by Creative Director Pharrell Williams for Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2023 Men’s collection, the long shearling fur coat is made from lambswool, and made to order.

The stunning LV coat has contrasting allover Monogram signatures that have been crafted using an intarsia technique. The silk lining gives this coat a luxe and elevated appeal.

Monica kept things monochromatic with a yellow leather bodysuit underneath and yellow thigh high boots.

Not only was her look up to par but was so her glam which consisted of a bronzy eye-shadow and matte nude lipstick. Her 26-inch mocha hair was down to her bum, and was perfect for such a statement look.

What say you? Hot! Or Hmm…?

Tblaque Pushes Boundaries with AI-Powered Sustainable Fashion Rooted in African Heritage

In the ever-evolving landscape of fashion, one designer is making waves by seamlessly fusing cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and the rich tapestry of African cultural heritage. Temitayo Alabi, Director of Aberdeen-based fashion company Tblaque, recently unveiled a groundbreaking exhibit that challenges traditional boundaries and forges a path towards a more equitable and eco-conscious future for the industry.

At the heart of Alabi’s innovative approach is the “Creative Gap” project, an initiative organized by the non-profit Black and Scot. This transformative endeavour brought together a diverse array of talents, including AI experts, sustainability gurus, and visionary fashion designers, all united by a shared passion for driving positive change through equity and technology.

With generous seed funding from Aberdeen City Council, in Scotland, the project aimed to unlock the boundless potential of emerging technologies, such as generative AI, while celebrating the profound symbolism and craftsmanship embedded in traditional West African textiles like the iconic Aso-Oke fabric.

“This project has been an incredible journey of discovery and innovation,” Temitayo exclaimed. “By seamlessly blending cutting-edge AI technology with the rich cultural heritage of traditional textiles, we’ve been able to push the boundaries of what’s possible in fashion design.”

One of the standout moments was witnessing the creative prowess of generative AI in action, elevating Tblaque’s design concepts to new heights. The seamless integration of AI and human expertise showcased the transformative power of collaboration and openness to new ideas.

Through an immersive workshop at Robert Gordon University’s Gray’s School of Arts, Tblaque delved into the fascinating world of traditional textiles, recognizing the importance of preserving and uplifting the communities that safeguard these artistic traditions.

Temitayo’s commitment to sustainability shone through in the use of upcycled and locally sourced fabrics from Nigeria, imbuing each garment with an extra layer of cultural authenticity and environmental consciousness. The result was a collection that celebrated the rich tapestry of African heritage while embracing the cutting-edge of fashion technology and sustainable practices.

The “Creative Gap” project culminated in an eagerly anticipated unveiling event at the Aberdeen Central Library on March 27th, 2024, where Tblaque’s innovative designs took center stage. 

Tblaque’s groundbreaking initiative not only highlights their commitment to innovation and sustainability but also their dedication to preserving and uplifting the cultural traditions that have shaped the fashion industry. By embracing emerging technologies and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, Tblaque has demonstrated that fashion can be a powerful catalyst for positive change, transcending boundaries and inspiring a more equitable and eco-conscious future for all.

You ask, we answer! Fashion Bomb reader @upgradeyourextentions says, “Pleaseeee where is this dress from?”

Fashion Influencer, Taina Williams celebrated her 26th birthday this month alongside her rapper beau, G-Herbo, and she looked absolutely breathtaking in a black The Attico dress.

With a fashionable mother like shoe designer Emily Bustamante, it’s no surprise that she is stylishly following in her footsteps.

The Attico dress that Taina wore for her birthday extravaganza, retails for $1,273 and has an asymmetrical design that is characterized with silver tone studs.

Made in Italy, the dress offers a provocative elegance with cutout detailing, and versatile styling.

Originated in 2016 by Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, The Attico brand has become high sought after by “it-girls” like Rihanna, Hailey Beiber and Dua Lipa for their maximalist designs.

Taina kept her look cohesive with the matching $1,101 The Attico sandals that also had the silver embellished studs as her dress to complete the total look.

Matching her fly in all black, G-Herbo opted for a black turtleneck, with denim skinny jeans and Vans sneakers. Most noticeably were his iced-out chains that would make anyone say Cha-ching!

In honor of his bae’s birthday, he gifted the mother of his two children with not one, but two new cars.

As Taina made her way outside of her birthday venue, she was stunned to see a Rolls Royce and Range Rover SUV parked outside. In excitement she hopped in the driver’s seat, enamored and smitten by all the love.

Taina and G-Herbo make such a cute couple!
