I’m not one to linger at a party. After I do a few laps and take a few pix, I’m cool heading back home. Such was the case at Saturday’s #GucciWooster party. After I said ‘hey’ to Dapper Dan and A Boogie, I hopped in an Uber, and missed all grades of bold faced names, including Rihanna, Salma Hayek, ASAP Rocky, and Gucci head designer Alessandro Michele himself. All that to say…most celebs come fashionably late. So just have a…
Happy Sunday! Last night, I received an invitation to an event at Gucci’s store on Wooster street to party pre-Met Gala and also preview Dapper Dan’s collection for the Italian Fashion House. Dapper Dan’s collection for the brand encompasses all of the over-the-top logo loving of his prior designs, updated with more contemporary finesse. Bold double G adorned track jackets are fashioned out of sequins, leather monogrammed hoodies are uplifted with gold trims and ostentatious designs, and glasses come equipped…
Happy Tuesday, Bombers and Bombshells! On Sunday, I flew back home to New York City to receive an award of Excellence from The Fashion 500! The group recognizes tastemakers and innovators in the fashion industry with an event and awards ceremony, and many notables were in attendance, including Atiba Newsome, Misa Hylton Brim, Dapper Dan, Mickey Boom, and many more. I was exhausted, but I popped on a banged wig and some red feathers and flew on down. It’s always…
Happy Monday, Bombers and Bombshells! On Saturday, I flew down to San Francisco for yet another exciting Cocktails with Claire! Kenya from Prestigious Eventz enjoyed so much success with the first CWC SF that she had us back again for a day full of networking, discussion, and fun. The day kicked off with a fashion show featuring designs from Nichole Lynel, followed by a stylist competition. And attendees shopped it up with vendors Shop Deux Reines and Glo Girl Cosmetics.…
I landed in San Francisco mere hours ago for Cocktails with Claire San Francisco (I hope to see you there!!). Before I headed to the West Coast, I popped into Essence’s Best in Black Beauty Event with Colgate. I was a member of Colgate’s Designer Smile Squad a couple years ago, and remain a friend to and fan of the brand. I had to make my stop quick–I had to get packed and hop on a flight! For the night,…
The other night, I attended a party celebrating a new documentary called “The Remix: Women in Hip-Hop,” a film that looks at the lasting legacy and style of female MC’s. The fete, hosted by MCM, skewed ‘urban,’ so I thought I’d go for relaxed for a change with an Anz Style sweatsuit, but kept my look ‘Claire’ with diamond jewelry and Azzedine Alaia heels. Just as I hit my pose on the Step N Repeat, I felt a pop. I…
