The Highly Anticipated Gucci x Dapper Dan Collection Has Arrived

The story of Dapper Dan and Gucci can be seen as love-hate. From ripping each other off to finally putting their differences aside, over the course of a year the legendary courtier and Gucci have been working together to bring you this collaborative collection.

Flying Dapper Dan to Italy, helping him with the launch of his Harlem atelier and even featuring him in its tailoring ad campaign, Gucci pounced on the opportunity to bring him on board. The highly coveted collection, previously available exclusively at the Gucci store on Wooster St. in NYC, has made its way online. Today marks the day fashionistas worldwide can now get their hands on pieces from this iconic collection.

Inspired by the streets of Harlem, the collection is full archival pieces with a Gucci twist. Ranging from a mix of 300+ pieces of leather goods, footwear, apparel and more, the collection is officially available to shop at Gucci.com

Capturing the perfect harmony of the Italian fashion house, and Dapper Dan’s Harlem roots,  photographer Ari Marcopulo tells a story that “explores the synergy between the magpie design philosophies of both Dan and Michele [Creative Director at Gucci].”

Crayola Launches Beauty Line With Online Retailer ASOS

2018 is chock full of nostalgic fashion trends and there is no sign of it slowing down. Imagine yourself back in elementary school, and your teacher says to take out your crayons. Number one, they better have been Crayola. Two, if you pulled out Rose Art *gives side eye* and three, if you didn’t have the 64 count WITH the sharpener in the back, who were you really?!

Fast forwarding about 20 years later, British fashion powerhouse, ASOS has teamed up with America’s favorite crayon brand, Crayola, to bring you a brand new makeup collection that allows your “self-expression and  personal creativity” to flow. The 58-piece collection includes face crayons, eye palettes, mascaras, color-changing lipsticks and highlighters!

Bold, bright, and vivid pigments set the tone of the fun, kitschy, Crayola Beauty collection. With the classic yellow and green packaging these products definitely have a retro feel to them. Staying true to brand identity, the line features cute product names such as “Fuzzy Wuzzy, Mango Tango, Dandelion” and much more.

We love it, but are we splurging or saving? The collection is super affordable with a price range from $14.50 to $40. Did I mention the line is vegan and cruelty-free too? Check out the entire collection on ASOS.com

My Spring/Summer 18 NYFW Weekend

Processed with VSCO with a5 preset

Fashion week is among us and you can feel it allll in the air. Whether you’re living vicariously through Instagram and Snapchat or you’re attending shows at the Skylight and other exclusive venues, there’s no doubt that the feeling this season is electric.

This season I attended the Mac Duggal show. Aside from the waiting forever outside then for the show to start, it was a beautiful show.

Duggal hit all my fav aesthetics in this collection, plunging necklines, blush tones, and war metals. Lots of fringe and beading as well. Models strutted down the runway in all shapes, sizes and ethnicities which I was glad to see.

I also attended the Lexus x Interview Magazine How Fashion Travels Exhibition. This was cool. Upon entering there was this duo who were super adamant about photographing attendees with style. Then there was “the cube” Great photo op, however I didn’t get the full experience due to another girl wanting to share the cube with me. ONE AT A TIME DAMMIT! -_-

Complimentary hair and makeup booths along with nail techs were scattered among the venue to give you the full treatment.

There was also an actual LexusLC model at the exhibit to take a photo with. Photographers gave direction and you struck a pose.

I didn’t get to hit all the spots on my list for the day but it was a great time overall. Hopefully I’ll be back in February with even more recaps for you all.
