It’s been a little while since we had an Ask Claire question! And on this rare occasion where I have absolutely NO events to attend today (HALLELUJAH), I bring you a query from aspiring publicist De’Adreana! She writes, “I’m a senior college student, my major is Public Relations and my minor is Fashion Merchandising. My dream is to work within Fashion PR and become an image consultant. My only problem is I don’t feel like I have the right guidance…
Happy Tuesday, folks! Sunday marked another successful Cocktails with Claire x Ty Hunter! This time around, we took our traveling fashion networking party down south to Ty’s Houston stomping grounds. Part 1 comprised a panel featuring Rachel Roff of Urban Skin RX, De’Shaun Chancy of Dare to Have Hair, Ty Hunter, and myself, moderated by event coordinator extraordinaire, Chimee Ahaiwe. Our talk centered on topics of entrepreneurship, stepping out on faith, building a solid team, and more. After we chatted,…
Happy Monday! I am currently in Houston nursing a heck of a cough. It started in Haiti. Day one, I felt pains in my joints, cold sweats, and an uncharacteristic loss of appetite. I powered through, doing a meet n greet in Port au Prince (pix to come), then waking up at 7am every day with the rest of the group, drinking Emergen-C and taking naps as I could. Then it was back to NYC for all Eyez on Me.…

We sipped on Tupac’s favorite drink, Alizé, and talked about our favorite Tupac music and style moments. Mixmaster Naimi Williams was on the drinks. It was a great time! For the day, I transformed an oversized…
Happy Friday, Bombers and Bombshells! I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Haiti. I was in Cap Haitian for less than 24 hours before zooming off to Port au Prince. JPHRO and the Clinton Foundation graciously invited a group of fashion influencers to give us some background on the country and also introduce us to local artisans, designers, and factory workers. Y’all know I came ready to stunt! I wanted to wear gowns by Haitian designers and imagined…
Happy Saturday, Bomb Lifers! I’m checking in briefly to make a public service announcement: if you have wide feet, steer clear of Ring flats by Giuseppe Zanotti. I have my fair share of Zanotti shoes. And while some are aiight (a 7 from 1 to 10 with 10 being quite painful), I am usually able to maneuver in them. There was only one pair, The Harmony Sandals, that were simply too narrow to walk in comfortably. I had to put…
