#the trench coat is a fashion statement

[rainydrawstuff]

been practicing how to draw cats so I did a thing 🥺

[batbabydamian]

I was reading some of your tags and I love the idea of Damian adding on layers of clothes to appear bigger lol because in my head Damian becomes more lithe and lean as he gets older so him doing that just makes perfect sense to me

it’s an idea that came from Damian’s fashion choices for some of his suits! he kinda gives off the vibe of wanting to appear bigger LOL

Batman (1940) #666 cover and Batman and Robin (2011) Annual 1

especially his Batman 666 suit’s flared collar and padded shoulders!! his child-sized version… he’s barely taller than Titus 😭

Batman Incorporated (2012) #4

his Redbird suit’s a bit of a stretch but the feathery neckpiece kills me, i like to think it fluffs up 🥺

Batman (2016) #106 backup

and then the pointy shoulders of his “Demon suit”! look at his lil cape flare 😭

HONEYS IT GIRL MAGAZINE july edition⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🎀

welcome back to honeys it girl magazine, this is the july catalog. get ready for the inside scoop on data that i've collected, things i've learned/started doing, and just general info like that organized in kind of a teen-magazine inspired fashion. a magazine for it girls ✨ and now please enjoy, the it girl magazine.

in this addition i've experimented with new sections (like the horoscope section) so i hope that u guys look forward to it and if u have any more suggestions for the magazine feel free to share and without further ado, lets get into it with some beauty talk…💬🎀

BEAUTY SHOPPING LIST ;

♡ kiko milano lipgloss

♡ L.A girl glitter spray

♡ cotton candy baby lipgloss from victorias secret

i've gone for more tubes of cotton candy baby because its just SUCH a good lipgloss but i recently lost mine and its been on my list to get next time i go to the mall…💬🎀

♡ crispy marshmallow bars body wash from philosophy

ugh just the NAME of this soap sounds absolutely delicious and im dying to try it out. im a big fan of the philosophy body washes anyways because of the quality and scents…💬🎀

♡ coconut craze lipgloss from victorias secret

♡ pink mimosa lipgloss from victorias secret

another thing that i wanted to talk about in this months beauty column is the DIFFERENCE that blush placement makes. so i was scrolling on pinterest when i came across this chart that talked about blush placement.

when you apply blush a certain way it balances out ur beautiful features and plays around with proportions in such a way that can make ur features more prominent. also the way that u apply ur blush totally changes the way that ur makeup looks.

for example when u apply blush to the apples of ur cheeks it gives a more youthful and glowy effect. when u put blush high on ur cheekbones it gives a more lifted and sculpted look which is where the blush chart comes in. depending on ur face shape u can determine which style of blush placement complements ur pretty face the best 💗

WHAT R WE LISTENING TO? ;

the most listened to album i've listened to all month has been butterfly by mariah carey. it was released in 1997 and every single song on that album is a total MASTER PIECE. some of my favorites include

♡ honey (DUH)

♡ babydoll

however that album is from 1997 so lets talk about some new music that i LOVED that also dropped this month…💬🎀

♡ brat- charli xcx

♡ muse - jimin

another album that has been gathering lots of attention on lots of social media platforms is ice spice's Y2K album and i've seen a lot of mixed reviews about it. personally im not a fan of the album, my favorite song on the album is did it first but im not a fan of the album as a whole. im curious though to hear what your thoughts on the album are…💬🎀

FASHION FLOPS VS FASHION BOPS ;

in this column, lets look at some old and new fashion trends and see which trends are flops and which ones are bops. my sources include vogue, and glamour magazine…💬🎀

according to vogue, statement gowns are OUT and discreet chics are IN. discreet chic is mixing basics in minimalist yet compelling ways. this includes things like trench coats, pencil skirts, trouser suits and good jeans.

according to glamour magazine, crisp whites and butter yellows are trending this summer. along with sequins and basics like denim pants and white t-shirts, polished kitten heels and mary jane flats also. the styles that are trending for this summer are boho 3.0 and little white dresses.

something i can DEF get behind is little white dresses. its like a blank canvas on which u can make the outfit into whatever you want. personally i would style a tiny white dress with chunky bracelets and wedges/kitten heels…💬🎀

LETS TALK MANIFESTATION ;

manifestation techniques are overrated - all you have to do to manifest is affirm -> persist. thats essentially all you have to do and when i first started i was so caught up in techniques and routines that i wasn't even affirming/persisting. i was doing anything and everything and i saw manifestation as a process and manifestation is NOT a process. when i shifted that and realized that manifesting is instant and all techniques are for funsies, the pressure was taken off.

this is an excerpt from my manifestation opinions post and i've released this poll to talk about what manifestation topic you guys would like me to talk about and the winner was saturation so lets talk about it. so what does it mean to saturate? i got this question a while ago in my inbox so im just gonna copy and paste my response.

saturating is simply soaking ur mind in the fact that u already have what u want. i do this with affirming, some people do other things to saturate but affirming is the most simple for me. just think as if u have it over and over and over again…💬🎀

you can saturate for hours at a time or a little bit everyday it doesnt rly matter its just thinking over and over again. i saturate while listening to music, playing video games, doing mundane tasks etc. all i do is think my affirmations and thats all! if theres something specific that u guys are curious about with saturation lemme know in the comments but its super simple bcuz MANIFESTING is super simple.

JENNIE KIM STYLE DISSECTION ;

jennie kim is a fashion ICON. i swear every photo that i see of her, her outfit, hair, face, everything is absolutely perfect. jennie's style is very posh and feminine. and a rly great example of this would be her look below. i love how she color coordinated her hair accessories to her outfit and the black and pink is so ICONIC cuz she was a black pink member.

shes rocking her trademark chanel in the form of a waist chain and everything just goes together beautifully. jennie knows how to mix posh and hyper femininity in her outfits super well and we can see that in her next outfit…💬🎀

THE CHANEL CHAIN AHHH IM OBSESSED. in the next outfit shes rocking a red two piece with buttons that just add that very chic and posh look. her chanel chain is such a statement piece and her matching chanel purse, shes literally chanels princess atp.

Style

Bucky had always been known for his ruthless efficiency and steely demeanor in the underworld. Yet, there was something about Yn’s style that melted away the cold facade he carefully maintained. Her dark academia look was not just a fashion choice but an embodiment of a timeless, scholarly sophistication that captivated him completely.

Yn’s wardrobe was a masterclass in dark academia. She favored earthy and muted tones—deep browns, subtle greys, and rich greens. Structured blazers and turtlenecks paired seamlessly with tights and heeled boots, creating an aura of academic elegance. Her trench coats and occasionally checked patterns added layers of complexity and intrigue to her outfits. The occasional splash of burgundy provided a striking contrast, evoking a sense of nostalgia and timelessness that spoke deeply to Bucky’s own appreciation for classic style.

But it was more than just the clothes. When Yn complemented her outfit with her glasses and vibrant red lipstick, with her signature hairstyle, the french twist. the combination became irresistible. Her glasses perched perfectly on her nose, and her red lips were a bold statement that drew attention. Her hair, often styled in half updos or French twists with a few strands cascading delicately around her face, completed the look with an effortless grace.

Every time Bucky saw Yn dressed this way, it was as though he was witnessing a living piece of art. His hardened exterior seemed to dissolve into a puddle of adoration. The effect she had on him was profound; he was no longer the formidable mobster but rather a man completely entranced by her presence. His feelings were so intense that he would have done anything for her—without hesitation, he would kneel and kiss her feet if she asked. The depth of his devotion was such that it wasn’t lost on him how much he was willing to sacrifice for her, even though Yn remained blissfully unaware of the extent of his feelings.

Bucky’s admiration for Yn’s style was not just about aesthetics. It was a powerful reminder of how her unique combination of classic fashion and personal charm made her an enchanting enigma. Each glance at her was a testament to his own vulnerability, showcasing how deeply she had captured his heart and how her every movement, every look, could transform him from a cold, ruthless mobster into a devoted admirer.

Bucky’s admiration for Yn went far beyond her physical appearance and style. He was deeply impressed by her formidable intellect and academic achievements. At just 24 years old, Yn held PhDs—one in Art History and another in History. Her scholarly accomplishments and profound understanding of art and history were aspects of her personality that Bucky both respected and adored.

He saw her as a beacon of intellect and sophistication, someone who excelled not just in academic circles but in her everyday life. Her knowledge, combined with her elegant dark academia style, made her an even more compelling figure in his eyes. To Bucky, Yn was not just a beautiful woman but a brilliant mind whose insights and expertise added a layer of depth to her character.

This intellectual prowess was one of the many reasons Bucky found himself utterly captivated by her. He often marveled at her ability to discuss complex subjects with ease and enthusiasm, and he valued the conversations they shared. Yn’s intellectual accomplishments were a testament to her dedication and passion, qualities that only heightened his admiration and respect for her.

Bucky’s reaction is almost tangible. He becomes a puddle of awe and affection, unable to maintain his usual composure. The way Yn effortlessly combines scholarly sophistication with timeless elegance makes Bucky feel as though he is witnessing something extraordinarily beautiful and rare. The contrast between his typical cold ruthlessness and his response to Yn’s style highlights the deep impact she has on him.

In his mind, Bucky often contemplates the idea of kneeling and kissing her feet if she ever asked him to. The thought is both overwhelming and profoundly indicative of how deeply he is affected by her. He is aware that Yn remains blissfully unaware of the extent of his feelings and the transformative effect her style has on him. Her indifference to her own effect on him only deepens his affection, as he finds himself drawn to her even more by the very things that she might consider everyday choices.

Bucky’s devotion is a testament to the magnetic power of Yn’s style. Her careful selection of garments and accessories, coupled with her graceful demeanor, makes her an embodiment of both elegance and intellect. For Bucky, witnessing her in her full dark academia splendor is not just a visual pleasure but a profound emotional experience that redefines his sense of self and his place in the world.

In Bucky's world, where power and influence were paramount, Yn’s intellectual achievements were a refreshing and humbling contrast. They reminded him of the beauty of knowledge and the allure of a mind that could engage and challenge him in ways he hadn’t expected. Her intelligence made her even more intriguing and irresistible to him, adding a profound layer to his feelings that went far beyond physical attraction.

Adult Taissa Style Analysis:

During season 1 Taissa wears a lot of high end designer brands. In season 2 you see Taissa wear a lot more casual looks and a return to looks more similar to those Taissa had in the wilderness (though to be fair if I remember right I think canonically the clothes Taissa wears at the end of the season might be Van’s).

Colors: Neutral Tones (beige, cream, etc.), Blues and Greens.

Repeatedly Worn Brands: Fendi, Max Mara.

For Adult Taissa’s clothes, the brands Prada, Tom Ford, and Chanel are specifically brought up by Costume Designer Marie Schley in her interview with Pretty Ripe.

Ideas of how to dress like Taissa:

��� Layer your outfit with a classy trench coat

• Wear unique statement earrings.

• Stick with neutral tones except for a few colorful statement items.

YELLOWJACKETS FASHION FACT: In an interview with Digital Spy costume designer Amy Parris specifically calls the neutrals Taissa wears “political beige” based off the idea that politicians wear unassuming colors so that people can kind of project onto them. In Taissa’s case, Parris said it’s more that Taissa doesn’t necessarily have anything she’s trying to project and that it’s has to do with the emptiness she feels (specifically in season 2).

What if the Raphs wrote this wikiHow article?

How to Find the Perfect Outfit: 13 Steps (with Pictures) 

Co-authored by Raphael Ninja Turtle, Raphael Splinterson, Hamato Raphael, Red, et al.

Last Updated: March 1, 2025

Part 1 | Assembling a Wardrobe

1 Get rid of clothing you no longer want. When you live in a sewer with four five! are we including the Rat King? a lot of other mutants, you don't have a lot of closet space. Sort through your clothes and get rid of what you don't need. If you're having trouble deciding whether or not to keep something, ask yourself:

Have I recently (double-)mutated or changed size, and if so, does this still fit me?

Have I been caught in this disguise before?

Can I perform my sick ninja moves in this?

Does this make me look like Lou Jitsu?

2 Repurpose older clothing. You can take advantage of someone else's old clothing by learning to tailor (or having a family member or friend who does). Make the most of oversized clothes from human friends, dumpster dives, and vintage finds at Second Time Around.

3 Sort your shoes. (Dude, you were supposed to add a picture of you wearing shoes—) Why? What kind of turtle wears shoes? If you've got any, get rid of 'em.

(. . .)

Fine. If you happen to be the kind of turtle who does wear shoes, you should have 'em for a variety of situations. Make sure you have shoes for roller skating, disguises, cold weather, and formal stuff.

Step 4: Locate your outerwear. You'll never go wrong with a trench coat, but you do have other options! Try some of these choices to disguise your turtle-ness, remain warm, and look cool:

turtlenecks or hoodies

leather jackets, blazers, or parkas

mittens and scarves

beanies or fedoras

5 Gather your accessories. Accessories are the finishing touches of any outfit. Experiment with sunglasses, jewelry, belts, watches, and hats. Try to have a variety of styles, but don't forget the classics (lest April or the viewers forget which turtle you are).

6 Get out of a style rut. Tired of the same old ninja fit? Try something different. Look for clothing in different textures, colors, patterns, or styles. Don't be afraid to break some fashion rules. You'd be surprised what goes well with green.

Part 2 | Putting Together an Outfit

1 Consider the occasion or day. The perfect outfit should fit the kind of day you're having or the event you're going to. Themed episodes, new seasons, and your best friend's wedding require different outfits.

Don't be surprised if you need to unexpectedly drop/tear through an outfit during a fight scene. Just be prepared to show up in a new outfit in the next scene.

2 Check the weather. Then check it again and carry something extra for out-of-season weather just to be safe. You never know when a strange weather device will appear, and you'll regret going out in nothing but your shell when it starts snowing.

3 Select the focus of your outfit. Choose one piece of clothing that you know you want to wear and build your outfit around it. For example, you may choose your mask or something with a striking pattern. Just remember to K.I.S.S.: keep it simple, stupid, and only pick one piece to highlight.

See Part 1 to build your wardrobe with plenty of basics. That way, when you want to wear a statement piece, you'll always have something to pair it with it.

4 Wear outwear that compliments your outfit. Once you have a main clothing piece, choose clothes that accent the item. Avoid completely matching the pieces (looking at you, Donatello). This can make them compete for attention. Instead, look for things that really make your focus piece stand out.

5 Wear the right shoes. The perfect outfit can seem out of place if your shoes are inappropriate but don't forget that you should also be as comfortable as possible. Choosing what shoes to wear or even going shoeless will depend on the weather, terrain, occasion, time period, and personal preference.

6 Consider adding accessories. To really make your outfit look rad, add bedazzled accessories! This can add color or sparkle to a simple outfit. Or, if you have a really bright clothing item, a plain jacket can balance your look. Don't be afraid to try on several things until you find something that works.

Avoid wearing too many sparkles. Doing so will make your look seem forced.

7 Dress up your uniform or usual look. Once you've found a few outfits that you really like, it's easy to keep wearing the same things. This can speed up getting drawn, but your studio may want to try a new look to sell more toys. Make sure your outfit looks mature. Avoid wearing graphic tees, hoodies, or clothing older iterations of you wore 20 years ago. To make your look feel more put together:

Choose pieces that compliment your signature color and overall palette.

Upgrade your armor and weapons, not one or the other.

Apply cologne or perfume.

HOW TO DRESS LIKE BLAIR WALDORF

blair waldorf’s iconic style is a mix of classic preppy fashion, feminine elegance, and luxurious detailing. to capture her signature look, follow these tips:

invest in timeless staples

blair's wardrobe revolves around classic, polished pieces that exude sophistication. focus on tailored and structured items.

a-line skirts, pleated skirts, and tweed dresses. fitted blazers in plaid, houndstooth, or solid navy. crisp white blouses with unique details like ruffles, bows, or peter pan collars. colors: stick to neutral tones like navy, cream, and black, with pops of jewel tones like emerald, ruby, and sapphire.

accesorise thoughtfully

blair’s accessories elevate her outfits, often adding a touch of drama or whimsy.

headbands: her trademark accessory! opt for embellished, satin, or velvet headbands in bold or neutral colors. statement jewelry: pearl necklaces, gold earrings, and delicate rings. tights: opaque or patterned tights are a staple for her fall and winter looks. bags: small, structured handbags in high-quality materials like leather or tweed.

master the art of layering

blair’s looks are always polished and well-coordinated, often featuring multiple layers.

pair a blouse under a sleeveless dress or a sweater. add a tailored coat with gold buttons for colder months (think trench coats, pea coats, or capes). use cardigans, vests, or blazers to create dimension in your outfits.

embrace details

blair’s style often leans into her love for soft, romantic elements.

look for clothing with bows, ruffles, or lace accents. choose skirts and dresses with a flared or flowing silhouette. incorporate delicate floral prints or pastel hues occasionally, balanced with structured pieces.

prioritise quality and luxury

even if you're on a budget, aim for pieces that look polished and luxurious, as blair never compromises on quality.

fabrics: opt for tweed, cashmere, silk, and wool. tailoring: well-fitted clothing makes a huge difference; consider alterations if necessary. shoes: invest in classic ballet flats, kitten heels, and elegant pumps in neutral shades.

blair’s outfits wouldn’t shine without her poise and confidence. walk with purpose, maintain good posture, and exude self-assurance, because true style comes from within.

- XOXO, gossip girl.

Grayson and fall:

-He loves fall. It’s his favorite season.

-He loves going out to take pictures of the trees and weather and decorations and light changing and everything, cause we know he’s a little shutterbug❤️

-The second the light starts changing he gets a little excited! Even Grayson Davenport Hawthorne has to have feelings, yes, I know, shocker.

-One of his go to autumn outfits is a cranberry red or black turtleneck and a fashionable grey trench coat. Not a detective’s style coat, but one of the nicer ones. See exhibit A. A similar pair of pants as in the picture. Sometimes he completes the look with a pair of fashion statement glasses, something his fangirls swoon over.

-He likes the seasonal coffees(cause he’s obviously a coffee addict with how much he works). But would he like pumpkin spice? I don’t know.

-His favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, when all his family is in one place where he can keep them safe and happy with each other! Plus the food. I also feel like there has to be at least one Thanksgiving dish he insists on making himself because nobody else makes it right.

-He will spend many a late evening in his room, maybe balcony doors open, fire in the fireplace, reading. He may be a workaholic all year, but he doesn’t stay as late at work in fall so he can enjoy his favorite season.

-He has O N E pair of soft, cushy, fuzzy socks that he pampers himself with once in a while. Nobody else knows and he plans on keeping it that way.

-He ADORED hayrides as a kid. Secretly wants to go on one again. (Someone pls take the man on a hayride date)

-He prefers apple pie to pumpkin. He needs the warmth.

-He wants fall scented candles but doesn’t get them because he doesn’t want to get teased over it.

That’s it for now! I hope you enjoyed my ramblings!🍁🍂

The Timeless Style Of Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn: British actress and humanitarian, a wondrous woman with an everlasting legacy who was idolised worldwide for her effortless poise and grace. It is an undeniable fact that Audrey was a true fashion icon of her time - a timeless beauty.

Use of colour allowed Audrey to create outfits that could live forever, outfits that could be stored in time capsules and remain just as wonderful for years to come. She used hues of black, white, and grey most frequently: shades that have stood the test of time and create a sleek and sophisticated feel to an outfit. This neutral palette would be aided by pops of colour, predominantly pastels, scarlet red, and coral pink.

Alongside an aesthetically stunning colour scheme, her outfits would usually feature stripes, floral or checkered patterns. Even so, she maintained a strict one-pattern-per-outfit policy, with every other item of clothing being a solid colour.

Audrey's style was classy and distinguished both on and off the screen. She was the queen of the little black dress, much like her Breakfast At Tiffany's character Holly Gollightly. Pairing slim-cut trousers with black turtlenecks, and white blouses with cinch-waist skirts she would create minimalistic outfits that radiated her balletic nature. Contrasting her feminine pieces, Hepburn also wasn't afraid to break down gendered clothing barriers, wearing blazers, suits and ties as often as she pleased - feminism at its most quintessential.

Audrey always had statement sunglasses within reach, whether they were cat eye or tortoise-shell, they were always sure to add the finishing touches to her outfits. A beige trench coat was her go to jacket of choice; ballet flats or penny loafers were her ever-reliable footwear and she would often adorn her outfits with a simplistic string of pearls and stud earrings.

Chic and stunning - Audrey Hepburn was and always will remain a truly timeless fashion icon.

Mrs. Maria’s MoMA Moment: When Fashion Becomes Art 🚲✨

Step aside, modern art world, because Mrs. Maria just delivered a performance piece worthy of a prime spot at MoMA. Featuring a white vintage bicycle, a scenic countryside backdrop, and, of course, the eternal brown floral pantyhose, this is not just an outfit—it’s a statement.

🌊 Aesthetic Breakdown: ✔ Swirling Blue Dress—Channeling the energy of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, but with more attitude. ✔ Classic White Cardigan—An ode to bohemian elegance or an afterthought? You decide. ✔ Floral Brown Pantyhose—Because art should be timeless—and so should legwear. ✔ Mary Jane Heels—Adding a dash of innocence to this avant-garde masterpiece. ✔ Windswept Hair—Unfiltered, untamed, and unbothered by trends.

💥 Meanwhile, Mrs. Elena Watches in Horror—Will she return with a rival fashion-art installation? A pantyhose revolution? Or perhaps a fur-trimmed trench coat from 1996? Stay tuned.

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 Menswear: My Favorite Looks and Aspirations

Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 Menswear: My Favorite Looks and Aspirations

January 22, 2025

As someone deeply inspired by fashion, music, and the intersection of art and culture, the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 Menswear show was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Pharrell Williams and Nigo delivered a collection that seamlessly fused streetwear and high fashion, all set against the iconic backdrop of the Louvre. The show opened with "One-Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII, instantly setting an epic and theatrical tone that captivated the audience. This choice of music not only showcased the boldness of the collection but also highlighted its connection to culture and storytelling.

The Collection as a Whole

The Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2025 collection embodied a perfect harmony of the past and future. Pharrell and Nigo’s shared history in streetwear and Japanese subculture was evident in every piece, from monogrammed sneakers to tailored suits. The collection celebrated individuality, craftsmanship, and the concept of travel, bringing together diverse inspirations in a cohesive and powerful statement. Wide-leg trousers, pixelated camo, and intricate leatherwork paid homage to both early 2000s streetwear and classic luxury. The use of archival pieces from the designers' personal collections added layers of meaning, creating a visual narrative that was both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

My Favorite Looks

1. The Leather Trench

The all-black leather trench with gold accents exuded power and elegance. The structured silhouette, combined with the subtle checkerboard detailing, elevated it beyond a simple statement piece. Paired with a vintage-inspired suitcase, this look screamed modern nomad—someone always on the move, but in undeniable style.

2. Leopard Print Overcoat

The leopard print coat brought an audacious energy to the runway. It struck a balance between dandyism and streetwear, which is no easy feat. The rich, warm tones and oversized cut felt effortlessly chic, making it a standout piece that I’d love to see in my wardrobe.

3. The Tweed Suit

Tweed has a timeless appeal, and seeing it reimagined in an oversized silhouette with a hint of shimmer added a fresh twist. The subtle pink flecks in the fabric gave the suit a unique texture, while the compact, structured bag added a layer of practicality and sophistication.

4. Croc-Embossed Leather Jacket

The croc-embossed leather bomber with cargo pants was an edgy take on luxury. The craftsmanship in the embossed detailing was unmatched, and the contrast between the sleek jacket and utilitarian pants showcased the versatility of the collection.

5. Classic Black Suit with a Twist

The black suit was redefined with sharp tailoring and a whimsical touch of color through the pastel green bag. This look felt like a nod to the brand’s roots in travel while embracing modern minimalism.

6. Varsity Jacket Elegance

Pharrell and Nigo’s streetwear roots were on full display with the deep burgundy varsity jacket. Paired with tailored trousers, it embodied the perfect mix of nostalgia and refinement. The intricate embroidery and subtle LV logos paid homage to the duo’s history in bridging street and luxury fashion.

7. Monogrammed Sneakers

No collection is complete without footwear, and the LV monogrammed sneakers in black and orange were showstoppers. Both pairs balanced boldness and simplicity, making them versatile enough to pair with high-fashion looks or streetwear staples.

Additional Standout Looks

8. The Chocolate Brown Suit

This double-breasted suit in a rich chocolate hue was elevated by the pastel pink tie and mustard yellow bag. It was a masterclass in combining traditional tailoring with playful modernity.

9. Blue Bomber and Denim Bag

The navy bomber jacket paired with wide-leg trousers and a denim duffle bag brought an effortlessly cool vibe. The layering and texture of this look captured the essence of urban sophistication.

10. Pastel Blue Croc Jacket

A pastel blue croc-embossed jacket paired with beige trousers felt like a fresh take on casual luxury. The structured yet relaxed silhouette made it a versatile piece for both day and night.

11. Tan Shearling Bomber

The tan bomber with shearling accents paired with cream trousers was a standout. It brought warmth and comfort while maintaining the high-fashion edge of the collection.

12. Denim Double-Breasted Suit

This look featured a denim suit with subtle pink stitching details, paired with a mustard yellow bag. The retro-modern aesthetic was a bold statement of individuality.

13. Gray Varsity Jacket with Neon Accent

The gray varsity jacket featuring a bold neon logo brought a youthful energy to the collection. Paired with cargo pants and a sleek black bag, it exemplified Pharrell and Nigo’s ability to bridge high fashion with street culture.

My Aspirations with Louis Vuitton

Attending a Louis Vuitton show has always been a dream of mine. The thought of walking through the mirrored box at the Louvre (or wherever the next one will be) feeling the energy of the crowd and witnessing the artistry of the pieces up close, fills me with excitement. Beyond attending, I’d love to walk in a show, representing the intersection of art and music while wearing a look that tells my story.

Even more, I envision one of my tracks playing as models grace the runway. Fashion and music are inseparable; each enhances the other. My sound—a fusion of confidence, introspection, and culture—would perfectly complement the bold visions of Louis Vuitton.

How long would yall think it’d take me to get an invite to a LV show? I need to walk a show one day for sure !
