Met Gala 2018 : Best Looks

So as many may know the Met Gala was just a few days ago and the controversy on the outfits have been flying all over the internet. So this year the theme was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." So a lot of the outfits gave the Catholic church vibe, which was kinda necessary, lol. So first and foremost let's talk the real showstopper and also the host for the whole event, Rihanna

Rihanna in custom Maison Margiela by John Galliano, Christian Louboutin shoes, Maria Tash jewelry, Cartier jewelry, Konstantino jewelry, and with a custom Judith Leiber Couture clutch

She came in and shut down the show in her custom Margiela and was flawless! Melanin was literally GLOWING the whole night and with the fact of her outfit probably weighing 1,000 pounds lol she still look awesome. Next we are gonna talk the Hadid sisters who in my eyes can do no wrong fashion-wise. They are literally flawless and just have looks that are so amazing.

Gigi Hadid in Atelier Versace, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and Christian Louboutin shoes

These sisters came through and killed it with two totally different looks. I love how they both embodied the theme without being extra which is something they are not. They looked so flawless as usual. Next up is Zendaya who literally came through in the most epic outfit EVER! She is definitely my next favorite look beside Rihanna. She was insipred by the Joan of Arc.

Last on my favorite list is SZA. Sis came looking heavenly in her Versace dress and embodied the angelic aspect of the theme very well. She is so versitle when it comes to her fashion that is never surprises me at all.

Below is a few more looks that I liked as well. Lastly let's just give all these people a round of appluase for being able to not only be invited to this event but also for looking so flawless, even if some didnt fit the theme as others but all in all everyone looked great.

Farren Fucci: From Polyvore to Icon

From Rihanna to Bella Hadid, Fucci has had his hands and ideas almost everywhere nowadays. For those who don’t know him let him give him a well deserved introduction. Farren Fucci is a stylist who basically blew up after being discovered from Polyvore, an app where you can style clothing with flat lay visual boards, and styled Rihanna for the infamous Paper cover, see below:

From that he went to styling Bella Hadid for a Paper cover as well, pictures below:

He has explained his styling as, “...a little bit streetwear, a little bit goth-y, a little bit punk and little bit dominatrix-y...” in an recent article for Mic.com. He has also described his choice of clothing aesthetic as “hoesthetics” explaining it to be, “Hoesthetics isn’t a look, it’s an attitude,” Fucci said. “Women could be wearing sweatpants and she could be into hoesthetics. It’s more so ‘I’m in sweatpants but my nails are done, my hair is done, I’m beeped. Look at me. I’m looking good as fuck. Yeah, I look like somebody you want to fuck.’ So, hoesthetics.” (excerpt from Mic.com interview)

Farren has been on high demand in the fashion industry and also has been doing some creative direction as well. With all that being said he definitely has a spot in The Blog. Hopefully I can do a formal interview with him, me speaking it into the world lol. Keeping doing great things Farren because you are definitely a inspiration for me to keep pushing forward and doing me.

The Twin Takeover

Let’s all welcome Shannon & Shannade back to The Blog, and this won’t be the last of them. So as many can see I love these girls and it’s not just because they are the epitome of iconic, but also because they have the most creative mind I have seen in a long time. These girls are a force to be reckoned with. So recently they did a shoot with Highsnobiety & Frankie Collective and the shoot was so amazing, check out the video below.

The concept was beyond dope! When it comes to creatives in today’s industry you can see a lot of repetition and unoriginal ideas but the twins are always setting trends. This shoot will definitely be inspiration for creatives everywhere. Can we just give these girls a round of applause for standing against all the negative energy and controversy that has been thrown at them.

The Clermont Twins will always be inspiration for me to continue to push through regardless what anyone has to say. Check the link to read the full article from there shoot. Check out a few photos below.
