March 11, 2022 at 11:25PM Visual artist Cristina Martinez’s first encounter with art came from watching Bob Ross on TV. Though she admired his extraordinary talent - it’s what first sparked her interest in painting - she lamented the fact that it was challenging to find artists who looked like her. Today, with a colorful portfolio of self-portraits and abstract prints, plus a third collaboration with Nordstrom, she’s increasing representation for artists of color on her own. In fact, her work is rooted in making space for Black and brown people. Born an only child in Tacoma, WA, to a 15-year-old mother, the Afro-Latina artist spent a lot of time alone in her early years. While her mother worked three jobs, Martinez would gather nail polish and napkins and create elaborate paintings, which eventually gave way to more expansive forms of self-expression. True…

March 11, 2022 at 10:43PM If ever there was a reason to add a pop of color to your wardrobe, it might be Dove Cameron’s Versace suit at the AFI Awards Luncheon. While attending the event in Beverly Hills on Friday, Cameron walked the red carpet in a printed suit fresh from the brand’s spring/summer 2022 Ready-to-Wear collection. In signature Versace style, the suit jacket was covered in a golden Medusa pattern splashed over color-blocked salmon pink and chartreuse silk, with pops of pink and teal throughout. Cameron’s billowing, tailored pants came in a matching print and played up a neon green bralette that worked seamlessly with the bold ensemble. While Cameron’s wide-leg pants were a smidge too long to catch a glimpse at her shoes, the “Boyfriend” singer did give us another dash of color in the form of a floating eyeshadow…

March 11, 2022 at 08:30PM When spring hits and the weather is nice enough, my go-to outfit is always a pair of denim shorts and an oversized graphic tee. I’ve worn this combination so many times that my boyfriend has dubbed it my “warm-weather uniform.” He says he doesn’t even have to look at the weather report: if I’m in leggings, it’s going to be cold, and if I’m in denim shorts and sandals, the sun is definitely coming out. Every year, when the weather starts getting warmer, I start my search for the perfect pair of jean shorts. Luckily for me, I’ve already found the pair I know I’ll be wearing for years to come: Old Navy’s High-Waisted Button-Fly O.G. Straight Jean Shorts ($30). I purchased these shorts after seeing that they looked like a dupe for a $120 pair of denim…

March 11, 2022 at 08:20PM Following the announcement of a collaboration with American streetwear brand Supreme, Burberry staged its first in-person collection since 2020 in London, drawing a star-studded crowd. Among them, “Bridgerton”’s new leading lady Simone Ashley was a special guest, making an appearance clad in the brand’s signature trench coat. Ahead of the release of season two on Netflix, the British actress walked into Westminster’s Methodist Central hall for Ricardo Tisci’s return to physical shows, wearing a black and white mini paired with low-heeled pumps. Ashley joined other celebrities like Naomi Campbell and “Euphoria” actor Jacob Elordi. Black was a popular choice for the occasion, with Campbell’s tailored pantsuit and semi sheer V-neck, and Elordi’s sharp leather jacket and matching trousers. The luxury fashion brand returned to its British roots, presenting a collection that taps into London’s cultural heritage. As Tisci…

March 11, 2022 at 07:15PM As a former New Yorker, I don’t own a lot of colorful clothing. I’m a neutrals kind of gal with a preference for all-black everything - but I’m trying hard to change that, especially since spring is near. Right now, it also just so happens that everyone’s talking about the dopamine dressing trend for 2022, aka the art of dressing in bold, colorful pieces that boost our mood. With this in mind, I’ve been slowly but surely adding some color to my wardrobe. And so far, so good. My latest investment? Old Navy’s Brushed Shaker-Stich Cardigan ($45), which caught my eye for its overwhelming amount of five-star reviews. So despite my natural inclination to buy it in black or cream, I pressed “Add to Bag” in a pink color dubbed Dried Rose. It felt like the perfect piece…

March 11, 2022 at 07:00PM Dua Lipa and Megan the Stallion released a new single, “Sweetest Pie” on March 11, and the accompanying video is a fashion feast for the eyes. Embracing this season’s Victorian and Matrix-inspired trends, the two Grammy award winners make a case for patent leather, opulent jewelry, extravagant headpieces, and spider couture. Set in an enchanting forest, the opening scene finds Megan moving gracefully in a tight-fitting, black patent leather gown featuring a plunging neckline, long sleeves and a cascading bell skirt. Accessorized with gold bracelets, collar necklaces, and a black wide-brim hat, the 27-year-old rapper’s look packed plenty of allure. Lipa, who posed next to her, donned an ornate Schiaparelli couture gown that turned her into the chicest witch on a mission to captivate her suitors. The surrealist-looking design featured a gold-trimmed sweetheart neckline and S-shaped horns embellished…

March 11, 2022 at 05:43PM Bella Hadid joined the list of models donating their Fashion Week earnings this season. Inspired by her sister Gigi Hadid and Argentine model Mica Argañaraz, the model announced on March 9 that she would be allocating her total fall 2022 Fashion Week earnings to those affected by conflict in Ukraine and Palestine. Hadid, whose father is Palestinian, walked in at least 15 runway shows this season. In a statement on Instagram, Hadid said her donation would go toward organizations providing refugee and medical aid. “I wholeheartedly stand with them in support.” Hadid said it’s been an “emotional and humbling experience” witnessing Ukrainian friends and colleagues work through Fashion Week despite Russia’s invasion of their home country. “We rarely have control of our work schedules and this week has really shown me the strength and perseverance of the people…
