Last Week, Rihanna stepped out in New York to celebrate her beau A$AP Rocky’s birthday at celebrity hot spot and restaurant, Carbone in New York city, and after just delivering her second baby, she’s bringing sexy back.
The man of the hour, A$AP Rocky rang in his birthday with a modern school day Bottega Veneta prep look that included a button up shirt and tie layered with a grey crew neck sweater and brown plaid Bottega blazer. He opted for light blue straight jeans to go with his black lug boots, and most notable was his vibrant accessories.
Who says men can’t wear bright tote bags and pearl hair clips? When you’re as cool as A$AP Rocky, you can effortlessly pull it off and that’s exactly what the Harlem rapper did. His oversized bubblegum pink Bottega handbag added a nice contrast to his muted ensemble, and his hair pins felt very innovative.

The Barbadian princess and mother of two, was all smiles as she stepped in synchronicity with her alleged hubby and chose to wear a black monochromatic ensemble.
RiRi’s black Philosophy tulle bustier top was flattering and chic and looked fashion forward with her black boot pants. She layered her outfit with a cropped silk bomber jacket, and accessorized with dark black shades, a diamond necklace and oversized hoop earrings.
They both celebrated A$AP Rocky’s birthday until the early morning and based on stylish they look, we know all eyes we glued on the superstar duo.
They say not to mix business with pleasure, however when you are as hot as Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, of course the business endorsements are going to roll in, and Gucci is the first to secure the duo.
That’s right! The Italian brand has named Jenner and Bad Bunny as their latest brand ambassadors and of course they did so in the most flamboyant way.

The pair who’ve we seen court side at basketball games, and boo’d up at Drake’s concert, posed at an airport fully dripped in Gucci from head-to-toe for Gucci’s Valigeria Campaign.
The Puerto Rican rapper who has quickly become a global superstar, took notes from his supermodel bae and looked effortless as he walked off an elevator in a white and green Gucci logo embroidered cotton jersey sweatshirt that was styled with flare frayed jeans.
Contrary, Jenner looked like the chicest school girl in a Gucci plaid trench coat, brown logo mini skirt and black Gucci loafers.
Most notable, and identifiable was the luxurious heritage infused luggage that Jenner and Bad Bunny modeled from Gucci’s Savory collection that looked so posh.

In another shot we saw the fairly new couple, dressed in black-on-Black with hints of white as Bad Bunny endearingly wrapped his arms around Kendall who sat on top of cart full of Gucci luggage.
When we first saw Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny photo’d together, we were not sure if they would last because they come from polar opposite backgrounds, however their chemistry in Gucci’s latest ad, has definitely show the couple’s potential.
Prospective brides while planning their wedding ceremony always use the phrase, “I want it to be everything I dreamed for,” to describe the type of memories they want to create and how close to perfection they want every aspect of the event to be. Memories created on wedding days are part of what spices up a marriage, and Aladukeh’s effort to reimagine bridal wear and create a collection that boasts of diversity, elegance, glamour, and authenticity, may have given brides a new lease on the bridal experience to look forward to. Earlier this week, Aladukeh launched Russet, The bridal Collection, and everything about the event is an improvement on the standards for which fashion exhibitions are hosted and an irresistible procession of beauty.
Russet, The Bridal Collection, adds an extra dimension to bridal wear. The intentionality with which the fabrics were sourced and the colours chosen to make a great march exposed one to a different idea of how to make the bride central to the event. It further takes us away from the stereotype of brides using whites mainly for their dresses and gowns. In the real sense of it, this approach by Aladukeh takes us closer to the essence of the African culture and a reinvention of the original bridal styles. Each piece of apparel in the collection represents a culture/tribe in Nigeria, and the use of different types of models to showcase them, in complexion, size, and height, establishes the fact that Aladukeh created a collection that personalizes every bride’s look, idea and desire.
In terms of style, each design was distinct. The fact that no two designs had similar features is laudable. Also, the choice of fabrics paid homage to the Nigerian culture. It would have been interesting to see some of the dresses done with cheaper choices of fabrics though, but, understandably, Aladukeh was trying to manifest luxury through and through. The versatility of each design to be worn in multiple ways is very exciting, it also solves the issue of having limited use for a bridal dress once the wedding is over. Aladukeh’s range for this collection is very impressive. It wasn’t limited to the brides alone, it also showcased designs for the bridal train – for simplicity and sophistication.
Russet, The Bridal Collection is neatly stitched and fitted. A closer examination of the dresses on the models and their demeanours reflected comfort. The event itself was a thrilling performance of art and a showcase of culture through fashion as it hosted several artists and fashion professionals who were entertained with the delight of live music after the presentations. Popular actress, Eniola Ajao took part on the runway too. The entire show aligned with the collection as every aspect of it was themed to look like a wedding and all the guests looked amazing. Aladukeh has raised the bar with this creative invention, and there is no doubt that there are others who will be looking to build on the success of the launch and the splendour of the collection.
Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers went from standing outside of Paris Fashion Week as young adult, wishing and hoping to one day be apart of the wondrous shows, to officially being in the inner circle and invited to some of the most iconic shows that Paris Fashion Week has to offer.
After wrapping up New York Fashion Week where she hosted her annual the Bomb Fashion Show, alongside Nene Leakes, Sulmers hopped on a plain like the Jetsetter that she is, to arrive to the land of the fluffiest croissants and richest escargot.
Her first runway show in Paris this trip around the sun, was the Givenchy show where she opted for a black Givenchy patent leather body suit that she belted, and paired with black Givenchy patent leather stiletto boots. She layered her look with a leather cropped Moto jacket.

After the Givenchy show, she changed clothes and headed to the fantastical Rick Owens runway show in a $2,140 black Rick Owens Prong Leather Maxi Dress dress that she layered with her black Kwame Adusei Moto jacket.
Similar to her black Givenchy shoes, she paired her Rick Owens ensemble with silver metallic stiletto boots and oversized shades.

The next day, Claire stepped away from black on black, and bloomed in an amaranth pink Rick Owens bodycon dress, and a brown snakeskin The Attico trench coat that she accessorized with bronze metallic lace-up sandals and YSL tortoise shades.

Sulmers was able to grab lunch with some of her favorite people including Nicole Babb who she grabbed a bite with at L’Avenue, the designer of jitrois Paris, Jean-Claude jitrois and Fashion Bomb daily shop designers, Bruce & Glen.

When it came down to the Akris show that showcased florals and fringe galore, Claire returned to black in a Harbison Studio dress that had bold gold buttons down the front.
“I loved the fringed skirts, and easy serpents at Akris,” said Sulmers. ” The new asymmetrical silhouettes at Givenchy were amazing.”

Similar to her New York girlfriend Priya Shukla who she reunited with in Paris, Sulmers wore a pointed toe heel and gold statement earrings while posing in front of some the most beautifully sculpted and architectural buildings.
She indulged in all the festivities with Bruce & Glen and many other friends and was able to end her last night in Paris on a high note.
“I love Paris Fashion Week and it is always wonderful to come back,” exclaimed Sulmers.

As you can see, Claire Sulmers has evolved into a prominent fashion connoisseur, and each year she continues to elevate and perpetuate that she is in fact a fashionable force to be reckoned with.
From Allen Iverson to Shai Gilgeous Alexander, ballers have been fly. This rich cultural fact is the centerpiece of ‘FLY: THE BIG BOOK OF BASKETBALL FASHION’, the USA Today bestseller by Pulitzer prize winner Mitchell S. Jackson, our Fashion Bomber of the Week.
Jackson’s latest is a visual commentary on the relationship between high fashion and hoops. A cultural collab he explores by celebrating the iconic style of NBA athletes. Some pages heighten nostalgia with Dennis Rodman’s epochal expression of sexuality á la fashion and Walt Frazier’s signature fedora, but recent fashion moments also color its pages: shirtless Dwyane Wade at the 2022 Met Gala, using fashion as protest á la Lebron James’ ‘I CAN’T BREATH’ tee.
Style is not only something Jackson explores for societal research but something he’s known for himself. His polished approach to pattern mixing and streetwear has secured him a spot as one of the most stylish people in publishing. During the promo stages of ‘FLY’, Jackson’s style soared with a unique range. From cool cargos and textured clogs to groovy knit trousers and graphic tees, see how he stayed fly while on tour.

Revolutionary, noteworthy and unconventional would describe the Original UnBraider tool that has changed the trajectory of taking down your braids.
While many of us enjoy the beauty and convenience of getting our hair braided, we often dread the take down process which can take anywhere from hours to days. Now there is a tool that enables you to take down up to 8 braids at one time.
To alleviate and minimize such a tedious and time-consuming task, Founder Natasha Anderson created the Original UnBraider tool in 2004 to find a more effective way of taking down her daughters braids.

After taking a hiatus from her business, in 2021 Anderson’s daughter Khadija Imara stepped up to assume the role of CEO and relaunched it in February 2023 because she saw the high-demand for the UnBraider ,and knew that it could benefit our community.

“For a while weaves were in and there weren’t as many people wearing braids, but now there’s a renaissance of natural hair, and a celebration of the protective styles so I though it would be amazing to bring back a company that focuses on that,” Imara told Fashion Bomb Daily.
After releasing a video in the beginning of the year showcasing how to utilize the innovative tool, the video went viral, amassing over 4-million views and received positive feedback, calling for the need of the Original UnBraider.
“No one has a comb yet like we do to brush out braids,” expressed Imara. “The maximum amount of braids that a customer can take out using our comb is 8 braids, however the smaller the braids, the more you can get in there which is a great time reduction.”
“The root of the product was to be helpful in taking down braids, but I would always like to point out that it’s a product that we wanted for our community by our community,” said Imara. “Our alliance, resources and beauty innovations are often admired by others but are not always put in the best position for us to all succeed.”
With an emphasis on community, Imara’s intentions is to serve as a catalyst and corner stone for Hair Stylist or take-down businesses to become more profitable simply with the use of a $27.99 comb.
“I would love to be able to share our success and make our success other peoples success to pay it forward as that’s always been our mission and the root of what we stand for,” concluded Imara.
