Happy Friday! Today’s Fashion Bomber is Darrius from DC:
He writes, “Hello, my name is Darrius and I currently reside in Washington, DC. My style would be described, by myself, as an evolving style. I don’t engage much in popular trends because I enjoy setting myself apart from the masses.”
“Although, every now and then I’ll adopt a small trend. Currently I am inspired by those such as Lenny Kravitz, Miguel, 2-3 guys I follow on Instagram, Saint Laurent (Hedi Slimane), and vintage looks with my own personal touch.“
“I love playing around with different textures, patterns, monochromatic colors. I have an obsession with boots. If I could wear them everyday I would. Soon as I get to the point in my career where I can buy Saint Laurent boots on a frequent basis…I will do so. (Keeping it real). Almost there! Blessings!“

Sportmax was doing athleisure long before it was a trend, but it seems the brand is really playing into that sporty, “not actually for the gym” sensibility with Fall 2017. You won’t find anyone actually working out in the pieces on display, but you will definitely find them out and about shopping, at brunch, and jetting around town in the wares.
Track pants and zip-front dresses inspired by anoraks played into that athletic-influenced vibe. But when paired with ankle boots and pointed-toe flats, that vibe switched more to having fun than breaking a sweat.
As is requisite for the season, outerwear was a big focus with cozy, fur coats and zip-front designs, as well as glossy patent leather pieces taking centerstage.
Many of the looks were absolutely practical and functional. A black coat cinched at the waist with a contrast belt could work for the office or play, while a black skirt suit on Lineisy Montero could be worn again and again in any woman’s wardrobe.
And if you’re looking for ways to wear your black leggings this Fall, Sportmax is giving you a ton of options. Whether layered under a black and white tunic or a luscious white coat, the brand’s got you covered. And you’ll be far from basic!
I’m all about simplicity these days, thus I loved the neutral looks and their minimalist approach. It truly does not get better than a black and white turtleneck and mini skirt or a black jumpsuit with a chain-link accented front for a bit of flair.
But it’s a logomania world, thus the collection’s graphics did pack a punch. A “Steady Run” skirt suit on Adwoa Aboah had major street style snap appeal, while a quilted “Run” scarf and sweater on Imaan Hammam was perfection…though not made for the actual sport, of course.
Model Gigi Hadid posed on the red carpet of her Tommy x Gigi Spring 2017 Launch during Milian Fashion Week clad in a $890 Metallic Moto Jacket from the brand’s collection:
The rock star biker is expertly tailored in Nappa leather with a head-turning metallic finish. Glinting gold hardware adds an extra luxe touch. A limited piece from Hilfiger Collection.
Gigi wore matching metallic trousers and blue cowboy-inspired mules.
Metallic moto’s are definitely a piece to own for the upcoming spring season. Not sure if I’d splurge on this, but I will definitely add one to my wardrobe.
Zoe Saldana just welcomed a new bundle of joy, but still found time to step out for the Cadillac Oscar Week Celebration! For her night out, she slipped on a Jonathan Simkhai Fall 2017 Off-the-Shoulder Ruffle Lace Up Dress:
Her frock was anchored with thigh-boots on the runway.
Would you wear cardboard couture? Well, Jeremy Scott is hoping you want to. His kitschy—no surprise there—and statement-making—even less of a shock—Fall 2017 collection for Moschino was a mix of the aforementioned, a tribute to a time when print thrived, and a whole new, head-turning take on red carpet.
And though inspired by the boxes we all throw away, the opening looks were downright pretty. The opening skirt suit on Kendall Jenner was ladies who lunch but keep it fresh and a “Fragile” trench and knee-high boots on Gigi Hadid was easily one of the most functional ensembles in the assortment.
Some looks barely screamed Moschino at all—a rare occurrence in these days of Logomania. A croc, python, and ostrich embossed leather coat was the epitome of luxury, but was not to be upstaged by the absolute practicality of a double-breasted piece with contrast seam trim.
But naturally, the logos did not stop. They’re one of the brand’s cornerstones after all. They were strewn across baseball caps, gold dangling, chain link belts, jaw-dropping LWDs, and even leather boots.
Accessories were flashy and sometimes unbelievable—larger-than-life shades which felt like a chic take on those 3-D movie sunglasses, thigh-high printed boots that were an ode to the ripped out magazine spreads of yesteryear, can-inspired necklaces, and opera gloves that you wouldn’t actually wear to the theater.
Alesha Dixon, Gwen Stefani, Keke Palmer, and Taraji P. Henson are all fans of the iconic Italian fashion house and I”m sure they saw more than a few things they’d like to sport on the red carpet, at high-fashion events, or onstage. A little red dress with gold fringe accents on Anna Cleveland would literally match the red carpet, while a dry cleaning-influenced gown and hanger headpiece by accessories master Stephen Jones might tickle the fancy of a super daring fashionista who lives for shock and awe.
There’s absolutely no doubt about it: Jeremy Scott has fun with fashion. No, you wouldn’t be caught dead in most of these looks, but why not create them? In this new Trump world order, it’s just nice to feel good, isn’t it?
