Brandy and Monica kicked off their “The Boy is Mine“ tour on Thursday in Cincinnati with a series of fabulous looks including black and white Jagne and Louis Vuitton ensembles that set the tone of the evening.

Both R&B singers who have been known to set the stage ablaze, looked fashionably chic while offering a modern take on the traditional pantsuit. From Monica’s sheer Jagne top and black tie, to her cropped jacket and white belted corset, it’s not a surprise that the “Still Standing” singer who’s known for being a fashionista, was a sight to behold.

Her counterpart, the legendary Brandy was just as fly in a back and white Louis Vuitton checkered coat that was exquisite. Perhaps some would say that she looked like a “Angel in Disguise” with her hair laid to perfection, and her glam softly done to show how she hasn’t aged one bit.

Celebrity stylist Kollin Carter who formerly apprenticed under Law Roach, and has in many ways turned Cardi B into a fashion Icon, was the mastermind behind Monica and Brandy opening look.

On our Instagram page, our fashion bombers and bombshells couldn’t get enough of how amazing they both looked.

@Aundrealovestyle wrote,” The budget is budgeting!!! I’m here for the production!!!🙌🏾👏🏾🔥.” @kaftankultureglobal also shared, “I thank god that they waited for the stars to be properly aligned for this tour…Egos checked-talked on full display!!! BRAVA LADIES!!!BRAVA!!!”

It great to see Monica and Brandy come together after all these years to monetize on one of the most successful R&B singles of all time. They’re showing us that It doesn’t have to be about competing with one another but instead championing each other. With that said, It’s great to see both of them confidently stand in their OWN light.

What say you? Hot! Or Hmm…?

I recently flew to Miami, and on my very first night, I was thrilled to receive an invitation to Shoes for a Cure, a philanthropic event making waves in the Miami Design District this weekend to raise funds for breast cancer research.

A percentage of proceeds from sales will benefit the Braman Family Breast Cancer Institute at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Health System.

Fringe & Star Power: Inside the Ferragamo Spring 2026 Show in Milan With Lori Harvey and Solange Knowles

Creative director Maximilian Davis continued his sharp rebranding of Salvatore Ferragamo with a resonant Spring 2026 collection shown during Milan Fashion Week. Davis delved into the house’s 1920s foundations, tapping the Jazz Age not for flapper clichĂ©s but for its spirit of rebellion and cultural shift. The collection, presented at the Portrait Milano hotel, was built on what Vogue reported as Davis’s research into the “Africana” movement, exploring how materials and textiles became symbols of status. This historical lens provided a rich, untapped narrative for a modern luxury audience, positioning the house at the intersection of heritage and contemporary cool.

Davis deployed fringe with calculated precision to create movement and marketable separates. Long, swaying iterations on skirts created kinetic energy, while shorter versions on sleeves and handbags offered a wearable trend entry. This texture was amplified by fluid, high-value fabrics—flowing silks and delicate sheers—that draped the body with a classy, sensual elegance. The color story elevated a palette of browns and golds, rendered chic through shiny materials and punctuated with strategic pops of sun-dried yellow and mediterranean blue.

The show’s front row confirmed the brand’s regained cultural cachet. Attendees included major influencers Lori Harvey in custom fringe & sheer dress, Solange Knowles in leather jacket & skirt, Naomi Watts, Anna Wintour and Christy Turlington. Their presence underscores a significant achievement for Davis: generating buzz and A-list endorsement. This collection signals that Ferragamo is firmly on a compelling new trajectory under his creative direction.

In the heart of New York Fashion Week, one collective continues to capture attention, celebrate culture, and redefine what inclusivity in fashion truly means. The Caribbean Fashion Collective (CFC), founded by Xavier Walker, is a dynamic platform dedicated to spotlighting emerging designers, models, and creatives from the Caribbean and beyond.

What began as a vision to create a space where underrepresented voices could shine has evolved into one of the most exciting new movements. The Collective’s showcases blend bold artistry, cultural storytelling, and global appeal reminding audiences that fashion is as much about identity as it is about innovation. 

A Platform Rooted in Culture and Collaboration

CFC’s mission is simple yet powerful: to foster creativity and cultural diversity within the global fashion industry. The organization provides a platform for both emerging and established designers to present their work to international audiences, while building bridges across regions and communities.

“Caribbean fashion is vibrant, expressive, and deeply rooted in heritage,” says Founder Xavier Walker. “Our goal is to give that artistry the same stage as any major fashion capital — while creating opportunities for those who may not otherwise have access.”

Alongside Walker are Co-Founders Norka Vasquez, a Casting Director, Model, and Advocate for Body Positivity and Stewella Daville, an accomplished Model, Model Coordinator and Stylist. Together, they’ve built a network that extends beyond the runway, connecting designers with Stylists, Sponsors, Buyers and Press Outlets.

The evening also featured partnerships with luxury and lifestyle brands like T McDonald Cosmetics, AcARRE Beauty, Mockly, Ten To One Rum, and Barbancourt, underscoring the Collective’s commitment to blending fashion with authentic cultural experiences.

From front-row press to backstage energy, the event was a testament to how CFC redefined Caribbean Fashion.

What’s Next for CFC

Claire’s Life: Celebrating Sergio Hudson’s Volvo Collaboration in Charleston, South Carolina

Happy Thursday, Bombers and Bombshells!

Earlier this week, I traveled to Charleston, South Carolina to celebrate Sergio Hudson’s collaboration with Volvo Cars USA — a powerful partnership honoring 70 years of Volvo in the U.S. and uniting two brands deeply connected to South Carolina.

Claire Sulmers Celebrating Sergio Hudson Volvo In CharlestonIMG 9977

Sergio Hudson has deep roots in South Carolina — his mother hails from Charleston, and the connection to the region runs even deeper than he initially realized. Charleston is also home to one of Volvo’s major factories, where the new EX90 is produced — the very vehicle that inspired his latest collaboration.

Claire Sulmers Celebrating Sergio Hudson Volvo In CharlestonIMG 9982

Reflecting on the partnership, Hudson shared, “This is where the car is made. There’s a triple connection for me. Our first family car was a Volvo, and my mom worked for Mack Trucks, which was later acquired by Volvo. They make the car that inspired the collection here in Charleston, where my mom was born. I had no idea there was a Volvo plant here, and when they decided to host the event in this city, it felt so full circle. I used to come here every summer — it really feels like home.”

Hudson said they “were approached about designing a mini collection inspired by the EX90, using the materials and color palette of the car.” Meanwhile, Silla from Volvo praised the synergy: “I love that his designs are classical and timeless with a twist — the way he combines colors in unexpected ways is elegant and sophisticated. That’s exactly the spirit we want for the EX90. It’s the perfect fit.”

She explained, “We come from a company rooted in the North — a true Scandinavian brand. Functionality has always been at the core of what we do, shaped by a harsh climate and a deep commitment to safety. For a long time, Volvo was seen as sitting between mainstream and luxury, but our goal has been to move confidently into the premium space. We’ve focused on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and creating designs that feel distinctly Scandinavian — calm, understated, and refined, yet never boring.”

The trip began with a fitting, where I previewed the capsule collection firsthand.

Inspired by the fully electric Volvo EX90, Sergio Hudson created a limited-edition line that includes a Gray Tailored Wool Blend Car Coat made from the same sustainably sourced wool used in the vehicle’s seats, and a Nordico Belt in Dawn, inspired by Volvo’s signature three-point seatbelt. The three-look capsule moves effortlessly from casual denim to sleek houndstooth suiting to after-hours sparkle — a perfect reflection of Hudson’s timeless, confident style.

The music world is mourning the loss of D’Angelo, the legendary R&B and neo-soul artist who passed away at age 51 after a private battle with pancreatic cancer. Known for his rich voice, timeless sound, and boundary-pushing artistry, D’Angelo leaves behind a body of work that forever changed the landscape of contemporary soul music.

RB Legend DAngelo Passes Away At 51 After Private Battle With Pancreatic Cancer

Emerging in the mid-1990s, D’Angelo quickly became one of the defining voices of his generation. His debut album Brown Sugar introduced fans to a smooth, sultry sound that blended classic soul with modern rhythm and blues. Songs like “Lady,” “Cruisin’,” and “Brown Sugar” became instant staples, showcasing his ability to channel both vulnerability and confidence in equal measure.

His 2000 release Voodoo marked a creative triumph, earning multiple Grammy Awards and solidifying his legacy as a pioneer of the neo-soul movement. The album’s standout track, “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” became a cultural phenomenon — a song and video that redefined sensuality and cemented D’Angelo’s place in music history.

Dangelo Voodoo Album

Throughout his career, D’Angelo remained a symbol of authenticity, artistry, and evolution. His influence can be felt in the work of countless artists who followed in his footsteps, from R&B to hip-hop and beyond. Though he is gone too soon, his music continues to speak for him — a timeless reminder of soul’s enduring power.
