It’s been a smashing 15 years since designer Christian Siriano, 37, debuted his first collection at New York Fashion Week, and to honor the celebratory moment, he showcased the most avant-garde designs with his celebrity fan base by his side.

From celebs like Quinta Brunson and Avril Lavigne, to the fierce Lavern Cox and singer Kesha- there was no shortage of stars in the Pierre Hotel last Friday.
Not to mention Australian singer Sia, who also performed “Shine Bright Like a Diamond,” in a light pink dramatized ensemble with a huge bow on top of her bangs that covered half of her face.

It feels like not that long ago when Siriano won Bravo TV Project Runway in 2008, and since then he has undoubtedly become a household name.
To commence his 15th Anniversary, he chose to stay true to his core by paying homage to his ballet background. Inspired by the world of ballet, we saw a variety of gowns with ruffles and tutu skirts, in addition to suiting that was layered with lace up corsets.

We also saw hints of ombre metallic in the most innovative and surprising way. Incorporating silver, gold and rose metallic in different variations, Siriano walked us through the future of balletcore, nodding to the younger generation of style stars.

His tulle gowns were perfectly draped and adorned with floral components for a fresh and fantasy like aesthetic. If anyone understands the power of femininity, it’s certainly Siriano who has proven time and again that he’s not new to this, but rather true to this.

It’s safe to say that Christian Siriano deserves all his flowers and more, and with his persistent effort to revolutionize the fashion world, his name will definitely go down in history.

Fashion Bomb daily is excited to announce our first published magazine that debuted Saturday night at the Bomb Fashion Show, and this moment still feels dreamlike, and so surreal.
CEO, Claire Sulmers always envisioned herself being at the helm of a fashion magazine since she was younger, and 17-years after the inception of her fashion website, she is finally seeing the fruits of her labor in such a revolutionary way.
“As a teenager, I loved reading magazines, but frequently lamented that I never saw women who looked like me: women of color, with different shapes, sizes, and hair textures,” expressed Sulmers. “After working as journalist for several year then branching out as a blogger turned CEO, I don’t thing I would have ever imagined having my own magazine. But here it is!“

Supermodel, Jessica White is the covergirl, and it only felt right to have a woman of color who’s been in the fashion industry for years to grace the front page of our magazine.

From modeling for Vogue and Harpers Bazaar magazine, to slaying the runway for legendary designers like Oscar de la Renta and Marc Jacobs, White has quite the roster of modeling gigs under her belt so when we asked her to be apart of this remarkable moment, naturally she assumed the position.
Unapologetically candid, White opened up to Sulmers about tapping into her soft girl era, trials and tribulations with her ex beau Nick Cannon, and the importance of spirituality and having faith.

We’re in the swing of New York Fashion Week, and the fashion, street style, runway stunts, and afterparties are not slowing down. Last night, emerging label Imperial Legacy presented its Spring 2024 show, aptly titled They Cloned Imperial? after the Netflix sci-fi thriller starring John Boyega, They Cloned Tyrone.

Held at the Bogart House in Brooklyn, Imperial Legacy took fashion fans, editors, influencers and other attendees on an abstract fashion trip.
From the first look to the closing look, illuminating shades in impressionistic patterns riddled the runway. The color pallet wasn’t just a tip to the warmer months ahead, but an aid to the storytelling of this collection. These bold hues anchor the ’60s mod and 70s disco influences spotted throughout the lineup.

Much like the film the show takes its name from, Imperial Legacy Spring 2024 is a dynamic harmony of multiple styles across multiple decades.
With blockbuster influences and inspiration by their family, the label’s founders, brother and sister Faith and Marcus Smith, shook up fashion week with a vivacious collection that takes fashion on a time-traveling adventure.
It’s been 10 whole years since Studio 189 ––the social enterprise co-founded by Rosario Dawson and Abrima Erwiah–– first took the industry on an electrifying ride through the African diaspora. From thoughtfully curated mixtapes to the runway, Studio 189’s mission has always been to support African brands and talents.

This year marks what Erwiah describes as a “decade of purpose” and what better way to uplift every voice than to sing, and in this case, dance? The Spring 2024 show began with a word by Eve Ensler, beautifully sharing the mission of Studio 189.
The fashion that followed, handmade in Accra, Ghana, featured threads of tradition and years of storytelling that might have been new to the audience. Common Ghanaian fabrics were woven into modern skin-baring silhouettes from cut-out dresses, square-neck crop tops, and strapless jumpsuits.

A vibrant color story is common for most collections of the season, but the bright blues, electrifying oranges and sunshine yellows are intentional as well as illuminating. The cheery hues speak to the connection between Africa and its western diaspora.

The socially impactful brand had a message in every part of its show. From the opening words that shouted out the hardworking artisans behind every piece to the show’s backdrop mural that displayed their faces.
With joy as the radiating mood of the season, the show ended with a celebratory dance down the runway.
Since his first New York Fashion Week, Sergio Hudson has been delivering high glamor and body-conscious fits that his celebrity clientele (Keke Palmer, Michelle Obama, and Beyoncé, to name a few) know and love. For his latest collection ––dubbed Collection 12, but formally known as Spring/Summer 2024–– Hudson is sharing another side of his design talent.

The presentation opened with a denim corset (similar to the style Jessica Alba and Veronica Webb wore recently) layered over a crisp white shirt tucked into plaid wide-leg trousers and finished with a dusty rose coat. Hudson is known for his sharp tailoring, which he pleasantly presents via bold shoulder 3-piece suits in glen plaid and houndstooth.
While the show opened with power-forward tailoring, body is always on the menu at a Sergio Hudson show. Denim vests and white shirts with ties flowed into sexy leather skirts and even a houndstooth longsleeve catsuit which we’re sure his main girl Keke Palmer will appreciate.

In other parts of the collection, Hudson delved into themes inspired by the 70s. Disco-friendly squin skirts, with varying lengths from the popular micro mini to the more professional midi length, paired well with plunging bodysuits and see-through blouses.

Vivid and bright color stories are something we’ve grown to associate with the designer. Last season, we saw Hudson explore lustrous neon hues, and this season, he’s diving into jewel tones of rich sapphires, citrine yellows, and vibrant ambers. These beautifully bold colors bleed into more muted brown, maroon, eggplant, and olive.

The collection ends with what we’re referring to as light eveningwear. Chiffon dresses in rich tones with sheer tops and silk-paneled pleated skirts.
Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers will be presenting her 3rd annual New York Fashion Week show hosted by none other than the legendary Nene Leakes, and she has carved out special moments to ensure the most glamorous and fashionable show of all time.
The clock is ticking, but you still have time to purchase tickets to be apart of this extraordinary experience. Let’s just say that in addition to designers debuting their magnificent collection, the entertainment will be in full swing.
Unshakable and setting the tone of the evening, the Marching cobras of New York will beat to sounds of their talking drums, and open the show to set the crowd ablaze.
The drumline, danceline and flag program founded by Terrel Stowers has a “plethora of performances under their belt,” and has worked with professional brands like Hermes Paris, Nike, Netflix and now Fashion Bomb daily.

In addition to the Marching Cobras of New York performing, ‘Pretty Girls Rock’ rapper Big Boss Vette, 25, will also entertain attendees with her energy, charisma, and rapping skills that will leave guests singing along, and hopping out of their seats.

Curb link chains, especially those crafted in gold, have become a mainstay in both men’s and women’s fashion scenes. They are celebrated for their captivating design, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. In this blog post, we will take a journey to explore the finest curb link chains available and the vital factors to keep in mind when selecting the perfect curb link chain to elevate your style!
The Timeless Classic – Curb Link Chains
In the world of curb link chains, the classic design stands as an enduring favorite. The curb link chain, reminiscent of the iconic gold Cuban link chain, comprises interlocking links that form a sturdy and eye-catching pattern. Notably, Monaco Chain™ presents a remarkable twist on the classic curb link chain. Unlike traditional handcrafted chains, Monaco Chain™ leverages patented technology to ensure consistent perfection in every single creation. Among their offerings, the Monaco Chain™ Classic Plain curb link chain shines as a timeless and versatile piece. Whether worn as a necklace or a bracelet, this chain is a must-have for every jewelry collection.
Classic with a Sparkling Twist – Studded Locks
Infusing a touch of sparkle into the timeless curb link design can enhance its allure without overshadowing its inherent elegance. Consider options like the Monaco Chain™ Classic Pavé Lock or the Monaco Chain™ Classic Baguette Lock curb link chains. These chains seamlessly blend the charm of yellow gold with the sophistication of round or baguette-cut Swarovski zirconia, making them versatile accessories suitable for a range of occasions.
Diamond-Cut Brilliance – Curb Link Chains
For those with a penchant for elevating the classic curb link chain to new heights, the Monaco Chain™ Classic Diamond Cut curb link chain offers an irresistible twist. Its hand-engraved links artfully mimic the sparkle and allure of a diamond-studded chain, ensuring that you radiate with every movement. This exquisite piece is destined to make a lasting impression.
Embrace the Bold – Curb Link Chains with Edge
If your style quest calls for something distinctive and daring, the Monaco Chain™ Edge Collection awaits your exploration. The Edge curb link chain features angular links that exude a sense of individuality and edginess (hence the name!), setting you apart from the crowd. Whether you opt for the understated elegance of the Monaco Chain™ Edge Plain or the captivating allure of the Monaco Chain™ Edge Swarovski curb link chain, you are guaranteed to command attention wherever you go.
Link Thickness: The width of the links is a pivotal factor that significantly influences the overall appearance and how the chain drapes around your neck or wrist. Thicker chains project a bolder presence, while thinner ones offer a more subtle elegance. Select based on the desired look you wish to achieve.
Chain Length: When opting for a necklace, the length of the chain will depend on the thickness of your chosen chain. If you favor a thicker chain, a curb link chain will sit a bit higher on your neck. For bracelets, a thicker chain will sit more snugly, so it’s prudent to opt for a half-size larger.
Metal Type: Choose a metal that harmonizes with your skin tone, complements your personal style, aligns with your wardrobe choices, and accommodates your lifestyle. Gold curb link chains are particularly renowned for their timeless appeal, versatility, and remarkable durability against external elements.
In your pursuit of the perfect curb link chain, it is imperative to procure your jewelry from a reputable and trustworthy provider. Monaco Chain™’s official retail partner, Oro Monaco, has built a sterling reputation for its unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and providing outstanding customer service. Regardless of the curb link chain design you select, Oro Monaco ensures that you not only acquire a premium piece but also savor an exceptional customer experience. Elevate your style and make an indelible impression with Oro Monaco’s exquisite collection of gold curb link chains.
