Posted by

New York Fashion Week (NYC) — On September 9, 2014, I attended one of the best shows to date in fashion that is focused on the new generation of fashion elite that are adventurous, rebellious and mysterious. The Skingraft fashion show that took place at the Pavillion, inside the Lincoln Center, was hands down the most outstanding and notable. Always pushing the envelope, Jonny Cota gave us avant-garde fashion that will be the trend setter for the Spring/Summer of 2015.

Although Santa Sangre (Holy Blood), to some may be an unsavory title to a collection because of religious taboos, the clothing will make even the most religious follower forgive Skingraft of its naming sin. read more

WORST DRESSED AT BET AWARDS 2014: Keke Palmer

Posted by

LOS ANGELES (June 29, 2014)– We have no idea what the beautiful 20-year-old, Keke Palmer was thinking when she attended the 2014 BET Awards wearing  this white and gold Alon Livne mini dress, but it landed her on our worst dressed list for Pearls Only.

We always loved her sweetheart style, but this mini dress with bold hip cutouts does not fit the young lady’s usual classy and chic style which makes her seem a little desperate to be seen as a sex symbol.

In contrary to the fashion miss, her face and hair looks beautiful and very natural. read more
