November 24, 2021 at 07:11PM Hanifa designer Anifa Mvuemba just debuted her first live runway show in her hometown of Washington DC, aptly titling her new fall 2021 collection “Dream.” That’s what her success has felt like so far, anyway. “It’s mind blowing every single time,” she told me when I asked about all the impressive celebrity dressings she’s counted since her brand’s debut in 2011. “I usually scream. I always run and share my excitement with my team when I receive amazing news like that, because they work so hard to make it all happen,” she said. “I love to design for women who put forward their own values into their work.” Even though she’s still waiting on a call from Rihanna, her ready-to-wear has been spotted on the likes of Bella Hadid, Gabrielle Union, Padma Lakshmi, Lizzo, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sarah…

November 24, 2021 at 06:15PM As the year comes to a close, I have been reflecting on my fashion shopping habits and the ways they can improve. One philosophy I am committed to is valuing quality over quantity - meaning buy less stuff but more quality stuff. So I’ve had my eyes peeled for brands that cater to this kind of shopper, and turns out, Neiman Marcus curates a host of well-made items that are designed to last. Though they are often a splurge, the good news is that they will pay off in long-term wearability. Plus, as Black Friday is here, there is no better time to stock up on those pieces than now. From luxuriously soft cashmere sweaters to irresistibly chic designer bags and extremely polished everyday and special-occasion dresses, just scroll on for the pieces you will wear now and…

November 24, 2021 at 06:04PM Between Naomi Osaka’s funky sheer pants and Adele’s sleek leather jumpsuit, stars have been making major fashion statements at NBA games this season, and Tinashe just got in on the fun. The “Bouncin” singer dressed to the nines for Tuesday night’s Lakers vs. Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, where she sat courtside and treated the crowd to a halftime performance. Although there were many standout details to her getup, we couldn’t help but instantly zero in on her Naked Wolfe platform boots. Made of white patent leather and featuring a wedged heel, they had a sort of futuristic feel to them, somewhat reminiscent of shoes Zenon Kar would wear to see Proto Zoa in concert. As for the rest of Tinashe’s outfit, she avoided repping colors for either team, opting for a green graphic tee and matching…

November 24, 2021 at 04:59PM Nicki Minaj is one of the lucky friends of the Fendi x Skims brand who received a purple gift box in all its glory ahead of the holidays. “Forgot to thank Kim & FENDI for my package. I love the pieces 🙏💞🎀,” she shared on her Instagram stories, posing for a series of three photos wearing the now-iconic underwear that’s mostly sold out. Nicki wore the Scoop Bralette and High Leg Bikini in the signature California colorway underneath a scalloped Chloé jacket that retails for a whopping $12,395, teamed up with Saint Laurent’s knee-high boots and a diamond chain-link choker, a combination put together by her stylist and personal shopper Khalil. The natural color tones felt very fall, the entire look convincing enough that we really do have to get our hands on this much treasured collaboration. We’re…

November 24, 2021 at 03:22PM If you want a lesson on incredible dressing tactics, watch one episode of Euphoria. Costume designer Heidi Bivens sorted through plenty of vintage pieces and even customized some looks for the HBO series, which has just revealed its first trailer for season two. Each character’s wardrobe strikes the perfect balance between popular nostalgic trends and self-expression, resulting in episodes where storylines are very much illustrated by the clothes. “I was looking at real teens. I would go to high schools - not to be a creep - but I’d sit outside and watch teens when they would get out of school, just to see what was really going on with how they dress, how they have access to clothes, and where they shop,” Bivens told Fashionista. She even reached out to brands she was interested in featuring via…
