I'm literally sitting here yawning as I prepare to host a fashion show in New York. Y'all pray for me, mmmmk? At any rate, I wanted to drop in quickly to let you know that the richest man in the world is Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH, the home to brands like Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, and Christian Dior. Instead of opine on the importance of us supporting emerging brands vs. continue to line the pockets of a billionaire who is richer than...
Twice in the past couple weeks, I have returned to 'where it all started' for me in my career. Back in 2006, when I started Fashion Bomb Daily, I worked as a Researcher/Reporter for Time, Inc. Researchers were in charge of fact checking a magazine, because once something is in print, you can't take it back! At any rate, I worked at 50th and 6th avenue for 4 years at a 9-5 before deciding to start my blog, quit my job, then embark on the...
While I'm a very public person, I am actually quite private, keeping my most precious 'business' to myself. However, once my Times Square Billboard went up celebrating the members of the 2021 Winter Cohort of the Morgan Stanley Multicultural Innovation Lab, I had to let the cat out of the bag! What's the Morgan Stanley Multicultural Innovation Lab? It's a business incubator that selects a small number of applicants to offer them an investment,...
If your travels ever find you in the A, be sure to pop by the Linnethia Lounge, a bar/lounge/events space with great music, bomb drinks, and performances, owned by the endlessly effervescent, Nene Leakes: On my recent dip down South, I made my way to Duluth, specifically 2255 Pleasant Hill Rd Suite 470, to see what Ms. Leakes had in store. The answer? Lots of fun! While I was sad to miss the performance by Saucy Santana (security stopped me and...
Last night, I flew down to the A for a Celebration for Quality Control Music CEO Pierre 'P' Thomas's Birthday hosted by Diddy. We all know Diddy knows how to throw a party, so after completing my Zoom calls, I flew down south to turn up in the name of Black Excellence. I got the invitation last minute, but am very thankful to Nigerian Designer Tope FNR for custom making this dress for me! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Claire...
Despite my role as the owner and CEO of a Fashion Media company, I generally stay out of the fray. I try not to openly express judgment, and am very live and let live, adhering to the tenet, "judge not, lest ye be judged." I generally look the other way or shake my head to myself when I go through the airport and see my fellow sisters, sometimes groups of them, wearing bonnets. But now that Monique has taken to Instagram to urge these young...
The other night, I was honored to host a screening for Disney's new film, Cruella, which tells the origin story of one of the franchises most treacherous and stylish villains, Cruella De Vil. Orphaned at a young age, yet blessed with undeniable talent, the film tells the story of Estella, a designer and brilliant artist who changes the world of fashion through sheer grit and determination. Like me and so many others that Fashion Bomb Daily...
