Sadly famed Japanese-French fashion designer, Kenzō Takada, has passed away from Covid-19. He founded Kenzo in the 1970s and it has remained a coveted fashion line throughout the years. I've always wanted one of his iconic colorful tiger sweatshirts and even more so now that he's gone--may he rest in peace!
There are just some women who dominate the red carpet for certain events, and Joan Smalls is one of them when it comes to the CFDA Fashion Awards. When I think of this award show, I think of Joan and some of her memorable looks. I especially love how she brings a different type of style each year, it's so diverse--from sexy, to elegant, to urban--she pulls it all off! Here are my favorite 5 looks...and one bonus!
2013 in Givenchy Resort 2014
2014 in Prabal Gurung
2016 in Givenchy Haute Couture & Eddie Borgo jewelry
2017 in Michael Kors
2018 in Brandon Maxwell
2019 in Pyer Moss
Since we're short of some good fashion moments these days, I'm going to flash it back to Ralph's Club in September 2019 during NYFW. This is a look at Ralph Lauren's 1920s-Inspired Fall/Winter 2019 Collection; Where Gigi Hadid led models like, Bella Hadid and Taylor Hill, around an Art Deco runway and Janelle Monáe performed a medley of Jazz songs. And I chose to spotlight Ralph Lauren this week, because he was one of the first designers to step up and help provide aide during this Corona virus scare. So good for him, he's definitely earned my respect and admiration.
