So New York Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow! The team will be on the Scene, collecting lots of great content, from street style to show reviews, and more! In celebration, we thought it fitting to reflect on some of the best New York Fashion Week moments over the past few years.
Let’s begin, shall we?

Yeezy shows are always fodder for unforgettable moments! The star studded front row for Kanye West’s first show read like a who’s who for the best and most beautiful in pop culture. Cassie, Rihanna, Beyonce, and Kim, along with Jay Z, Sean Combs, and Anna Wintour all came together for the showing; Rihanna and Beyonce’s stunning picture backstage was characteristically flaw free.

Kim Kardashian showed love for her man, even if her olive green ensemble made the internet go hmm…

But set the stage for the rest of Yeezy’s shows. For round 2, daughter North Wests stuck to neutrals, and seemed totally unbothered , even though flanked by Riccardo Tisci and Anna Wintour.

For the next show, at Madison Square Garden, the Kardashian/Jenners slipped on their finest furs and monochromatic looks for a backstage snap!

And for Yeezy’s latest show, which took place in Roosevelt island, models who could barely walk in Yeezy Season heels caused as much conversation as the famous front row.

We honestly could go on and on about the Yeezy shows, but they’re not the only ones making waves during NYFW!
Zendaya strutted in our collective conscience with this stunning Miuniku Yellow Coat, paired with jeans and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Karrueche Tran always comes to slay during the shows! Her Francesco Scognamiglio jumpsuit and House of CB duster coat were pitch perfect for the Laquan Smith show.

We know Solange is a Fashion Week favorite! Her color filled looks are always on trend.

There’s nothing more chic than friends supporting each other. Lala and Cici looked fly while supporting their homegirl Serena at her HSN show last season.

Though Rihanna tends to pop in during Paris Fashion Week, her NYFW moments are worthy of note! Her flirty white Adam Selman dress looked lovely with Christian Louboutin Impera Pumps.

Lastly, the Alexander Wang show is always a highlight of NYFW! A Solange Knowles, Zoe Kravitz, and Amandla Stenberg triumverate is always worthy of note.

Lastly, Taraji P. Henson posed pretty front row at A. Wang, sandwiched between Kylie Jenner and Zoe K.

Tameka Foster is a jack of all trades; she has her hand in reality TV, philanthropy, and celebrity styling. Most recently the Oakland bred beauty has added fashion design to her list of talents. Get into her Cult de Jour custom vintage military jacket collection:

Already making waves, the camo jacket priced around $300, have been spotted on everyone from Nene Leakes to Kevin Hart.

Each item is customized to your liking.  You can add fur, trendy patches, sequins and embellishments.

This ‘CDJ Angel’ stunner features embellished wings on the back of the the piece. Get yours here.

Heralded as one of the fashion industry’s most respected stylists, this New York transplant, by way of Antigua and Barbuda, has been one of the major driving forces behind some pretty iconic looks over the years. Think the inflatable shiny suit in Missy Elliott’s “The Rain” music video. Since then, this week’s beauty crush and friend of Fashion Bomb Daily, June Ambrose, has been unstoppable, curating looks for over 250 music videos for the likes of Jay-Z, Diddy, Mary J. Blige, and the list goes on and on.

With a schedule as busy as hers, it’s a wonder the self-proclaimed Rock Mom has enough time to stay as fabulous as she does. Often decked out in eye-catching garments and statement heels, her makeup and hair never lag behind.

Despite June’s eclectic and modern approach when it comes to patterns and textures, her makeup is usually timeless. I mean, what beats a classic red lip?  Chicissimo!

But when the occasion calls for it, she’s not afraid to go bold with a smoldering smokey eye, paired with nude lip.

Her hairstyle may not vary much from her signature cascading curls, so she often elevates her look with a fabulous fedora or a turban as her crown.

Aside from her amazing style, stunning skin, and effulgent personality, June’s work ethic and business acumen were the catalysts behind her success today. Now an author and accessories designer, she’s become an inspiration for many aspiring stylists and designers, proving that creativity and passion will always prevail.

Here’s to this week’s beauty crush, June Ambrose!  For more, spy our gallery above of our favorite beauty looks.

What say you to this week’s pick?

Soulful songstress Tweet has reemerged onto the scene with a scintillating shoot, earmarked exclusively for Fashion Bomb Daily.

Styled by Dapper Afrika and shot by Marlon R, Tweet models gilded metallics, mixed prints, and fantastically adorned accessories.

Makeup artist Geisha Boii stuck to neutral eye makeup, with pops of color on the lips.

Though we are accustomed to seeing Tweet with longer tresses, hairstylist Derek J opted for a shorter cut, decorating the songstress with bangs and face framing curls.

With edits by @BySwayAmbrose and graphics by @BoyWithThePuff, the latest shoot for Fashion Bomb Daily offers a bold, colorful, and refreshing direction for Tweet.

We can’t wait to see what she does next!

“Polished and Poised is always the goal when I’m getting dressed.”

Ambra, I love your snake skin booties!

If you’ve been keeping up with our Black History Month series, you know that we’ve featured some of the best in the industry thus far. Today, we delve into the world of supermodel, Lineisy Montero.

This Dominican-born beauty is one of the most sought after models in the industry today. Why, you ask? Well, let’s get into it, so we can all get hip together. Shall we?

Raised by her mother and grandmother in Santo Domingo, Montero had devout aspirations of becoming a fashion designer; she idolized Dominican native designer, Oscar de La Renta, and Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana. Little did she know that she would one day walk their famous catwalks.

Lineisy, pronounced Lin-a-see, was scouted at an amusement park at the mere age of 14. It would be 4 years before her mother would allow her to sign, internationally. Her first debut, was for the Prada fashion house; however, there was something peculiar about this new kid on the block. Amongst a plethora of models, who donned slick ponytails, Lineisy was the only one who wore her-all natural-baby afro. In an industry where diversity is often questioned, this bold stance was immediately recognized, and soon Lineisy became the “catwalk queen”, making appearances for other fashion houses such as Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, and many more.

She tells Teen Vogue, “My hair has never been a question, it’s always been natural. I didn’t do anything special except walking in the shows. I see now that is a big thing for the fashion industry so I am of proud of it. If it changes the mentality in the business for models like me I would be very happy.”

In response to Montero’s AW15 debut, Elle UK’s fashion features director Kenya Hunt says, “The timing was just right for the fashion world to be ready to embrace a black woman with an afro. It was a transformative moment in that it gave the rest of fashion “permission” to fully embrace black beauty in all its variations. Certainly, black models such as Bethann Hardison in the 1970s and Roshumba Williams in the 1980s have made natural hair their trademark, but lately many black models have used extensions and chemical processes to attain a smooth, straight look. Montero’s progress has opened the door for others to adopt more natural styles”

Montero tells The Telegrah, “I’ve noticed a little positive change. Before, in fashion shows, all the models were blonde with straight hair, but now there are always two or three morenas [women with dark complexions] with natural hair. But there’s still a little way to go.”

She tells I-D she doesn’t know how long it will take for black hair to be the norm,
“I hope it’s as soon as possible! Girls like me love shopping too and most of the time we don’t recognise ourselves in the campaigns.”

She continues to say how she plans to fight racial discrimination, “I will just continue to be myself. I want to exist and be recognized for my work and who I am, not only because of my hair or my skin color.”

Her mantra is, “I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me”
