Is Fashion Making Any Progress with Its Body Diversity Issues?

(WWD) December 20, 2021, Model agents, designers and buyers weigh in on body diversity, or lack thereof, on the runways and where the industry should go from here. In recent years, the fashion industry — and society as a whole — has had to face up to its multilayered inclusion issues. The #MeToo movement, for one, highlighted gender disparities, while the Black Lives Matter and Trans Lives Matter movements that erupted amidst the pandemic raised important concerns about racial injustice and discrimination based on gender identity or expression.  And in the middle of it all, a different strand of the inclusion issue got pushed aside: body diversity.  Read More

featured designer review by amanda collado

THE BLONDS X MOTOROLA NYFW FW 2022

February 23, 2022. The Blonds absolutely killed their show with the stunning patterns and explosion of sparkle they served to the audience, 

giving a dark story with a twist of sexiness and edge. An amazing variety of pieces that really demanded attention. Their focus was mainly the colors black and red with a lot of leather involved. The show felt like a sexy, vampire fantasy, with a pinch of 19th century vibes the beautifully designed corsets gave off. The black leather pieces were adorned with silver jewelry, studs and crystals that shimmed perfectly off the black.  Watch show above from YouTube.

Celebrity Spotting in Attendance

Adam Lambert sat front row of The Blond's runway show wearing a long sheer shirt with a velvet floral patterned, followed by dark brown Rick Owens joggers, a pair of gorgeous red suede platform boots, and finished it off with a simple maroon coat. 

One of the Sexiest Dance Runway Walks

The audience were entertained by a tempestuous runway performance by the famed choreographer behind all of Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty shows, as well as Jennifer Lopez’s halftime performance for the 2020 Superbowl, Parris Goebel. She was accompanied by two backup dancers, just as fabulous!

     (AP) March 11, 2022. “The Six Triple Eight was a trailblazing group of heroes who were the only all-Black, Women Army Corps Battalion to serve overseas during World War II," said Wisconsin Rep. Gwen Moore, who sponsored the bill after being contacted by the daughter of 6888th members Anna Mae Robertson. “Facing both racism and sexism in a warzone, these women sorted millions of pieces of mail, closing massive mail backlogs, and ensuring service members received letters from their loved ones,” she continued. “A Congressional Gold Medal is only fitting for these veterans who received little recognition for their service after returning home.”
