Stephen Burrows Fashion Presentation!!

by Joy Adaeze Posted on 02/19/2010

Hey Babes!

I was truly impressed by the Stephen Burrows Fall 2010 collection! I knew I was in store for a fashion treat. Burrows, who was the first African American designer to gain international acclaim and also CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award winner, definitely wowed the crowd. His inspiration? “I looked at Gustav Klimt and Tiffany lamps,” the designer said of his mood for Fall. He showed colorful and interesting pieces, many of which I wanted to snatch up right then and there! And lets not talk about the Louboutin shoes/boots/booties!!!??

And my friend Nykhor walked in the show! Go, girl : )

Check out the collection!

 
My girl Nykhor looking fab! Love the print and color here!

I am sucker for wide leg trousers!! The fur vest is amazing and the turtleneck? Fab squared : )

Stephen sure know his colors! This color-print pairing is just lovely! Want!

Animal prints are here to stay for Fall 2010!

Evidence of the fact! : ) 
Not crazy about the cut of the pants but I am in love with the blue and yellow color combo 
of this outfit! And the chunky white sweater pulls it all together.
 
I want to marry this coat/cape! How amazing! And the vibrant purple color? OMG!
As Rachel Zoe would say: “I die”. 

Totally fab print

Who knew a hood could be so classy? Only Stephen! 
P.S. I need this!!!

Love the cut and print! 

Wow, this dress is making me very happy and giddy! I need!
How fab!!!!!

Again the color master produces another wonderful color combo 
in this outfit and this skirt is beautiful!
 
If you truly love me and I know you do, please send me this entire outfit : )

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! These boots drove me mad! Craziness ensued as soon as 
this outfit walked out! I am in love with these Louboutins!!!! And they are already out! 

Side View!!!!! Someone call 9-1-1!!
I can’t really breathe!!! Help!!!!!
Send these ASAP! : )

Wowzers! Is it truly possible to love an outfit?? I need this! 
Thank you Stephen. You are Amazing : )

Lovely : ) 

Chunky sweaters are fab with evening looks!

SO elegant! So sexy! Double chocolate done right! I am usually not a fan of brown 
fabric but this dress has a gorgeous red undertone! Loves : )
 
Back view: Amazed! Love!

Bravo Stephen! You are a genius! 

  
  
  
Before the show, Nykhor looking gorgeous backstage!

Absolutely in love with this collection!  The creativity. The colors. The cuts. Blew me away!!
Well done Stephen!

Bebe Kardashian Showcases at New York Fashion Week…and fails to impress

by Joy Adaeze Posted on 02/19/2010

Hey Babes!

So, for months I’ve heard of the collaboration between the Kardashian sisters and Bebe and how they will be designing the line for the next 5 seasons. My first thought was “Wow, what a great opportunity for these stylish chicks to give their point of view to an already fab line!”

Boy, was I wrong. 

I was invited to the Bebe Kardashian show and was greeted by lackluster, boring clothes. I was disappointed that Kim and her sisters didn’t do more with the collection. It was plain and full of “already been done” styles. As I sat in my first row seat and took pics, I couldn’t help but miss the flair of past Bebe attire. Bebe is a line that is known for sex appeal and this new collection was drained of any excitement.  No fun embellishments or details. There were maybe 2 pieces that were interesting but for the most part I wouldn’t see myself or the Kardashian sisters wearing the majority of the collection. And since fashion is always open to opinion, I’ll let you be the judge. Here goes!

 
 
  
  
 
 
  
  
 Yes, that is Fatima from ANTM. 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 This was the one piece I liked and could see 
myself wearing.
Like I said, the collection failed to deliver. And should I mention the lack of color?? Snooze…..This is supposed to be a Bebe collection and here it looks more like something you can buy at Kmart! There’s no way I would spend $100 on any of these dresses. I am a fan of Kim’s style and I really wish she brought her usual flair to this collection. Well since they will be designing for 4 more season, maybe they will get it right next time. 
  
This is a sexy dress but it definitely isn’t something Kim has or will ever wear. It’s not her 
personal style.
On a sidenote: Since this was the Kardashians Bebe collection, where were Khloe and Kourtney? Only Kim showed up and she sat in the audience. In my opinion, it would have been better if she was backstage like other designers and came out in the end. At the end of the collection there was an awkward pause when no one came out! Interesting…I love you Kim but better luck next time babe!
So, Babes, what are your thoughts on the Bebe Kardashian collection? Will you be wearing it?
Love Ya’ll!
