AAPI Fashion Designer That You Need To Know About: Guo Pei.

Image
 Greetings, fellow fashion enthusiasts on this Tuesday. I hope everyone is doing well, had a wonderful weekend, and is having a productive workweek.  I saw one of my favorite fashion icons, Rihanna, wearing a stunning creation by Chinese haute couture designer Guo Pei at the Met Gala, which is my Super Bowl. Sincerely, I've been meaning to share this designer with you all, but I completely forgot about it. I therefore thought that you guys should join the bandwagon today.  Guo Pei is China's most renowned fashion designer and the country's first couturier. She has been committed to her design philosophy of "Eastern learning as root, Western learning as application" for more than 30 years, skillfully fusing Chinese heritage with international couture traditions. When Guo Pei was two years old, she attempted to assist her mother in threading a needle, which sparked her interest in sewing. The embroidery on her grandmother's wedding gown had a profound effect on ...

On My Spring/Summer Fashion Wardrobe Wishlist: Maje Short Ruffled Dress.

Image
I've been missing all of you fashion enthusiasts; happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your day thus far.  When it comes to Maje's gorgeous spring/summer dresses, I'm completely enamored with them, and I have no complaints. You can never have too many dresses in your closet, so I fell in love with this gorgeous butter-yellow short ruffle dress and knew I needed it in my spring/summer wardrobe.  This piece's primary fabric is composed of at least 50% recycled polyester fibers. This short, pale yellow dress has a full, ruffled skirt enhanced by a band of scalloped geometric lace, a smocked waist to define the figure, and a V-neckline highlighted by braided trim. The piece is delicate and contemporary thanks to the puff sleeves, delicately crinkled fabric, and harmony of tones. The cost of this dress is $375.00. https://us.maje.com/en/p/short-ruffled-dress/MFPRO04635_0259.html?m_i=12f1ryuAwmj80Qy8bQkNz81e4gAuX0me63r1owRfXheeYCd1SH_IOOywTSCN%2Bq...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Hung Vanngo Color Story Eyeshadow Palette.

Image
 Beauty fans, I hope you're all doing well on Thursday; I'm looking forward to the weekend, and I know you are too. Hung Vanngo is becoming one of my favorite make-up artists; his attention to detail is breathtaking to watch. While reading Harper's Bazaar, I came across the Color Story Eyeshadow Palette. I like the neutral tone of this palette because I prefer neutral makeup. I had to tell you about this palette because I believe you'll love it as much as I do. Hung emigrated from Vietnam to Canada at a young age, where he found comfort in painting and sketching, inspired by the faces in '90s fashion magazines. His passion for art led him into the beauty industry, and he relocated to New York City to pursue his craft full-time. His dedication and creativity drew the spotlight, allowing him to share his vision on a global scale. Despite his success, makeup continues to be his creative sanctuary, allowing him to bring art to life on real people's faces. Hung has c...

Hi there, fellow fashion enthusiasts! To all of you, happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is doing well, that your weekend was fantastic, and that your workweek is off to a fantastic start. I came across the Duet Pinky Ring from the jewelry company Shiffon Co. while perusing the February 2021 issue of InStyle magazine over the weekend. I adore delicate, feminine jewelry, and since that's what friends are for, I knew I wanted to share this brand with you all.

They want to give women the chance to pursue entrepreneurship, which is about taking initiative and learning fast, without fear of failure or risk-taking. They are hopeful that they can start implementing this change. By 2025, they hope to have financially empowered one million women worldwide.

AAPI Owned Fashion Brand That You Need To Know About: Parisa Wang

Image
To all of you fashion enthusiasts, happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is doing well. I hope your workweek is going well and your weekend was fantastic. I've always wanted a Chanel or Hermès purse since I was a child. But now that I'm a little older and wiser and have a different taste in fashion, I consider myself to be a mid-range girl. The exquisite quality of Parisa Wang's bags has long made me a fan, and I hope to have a few of them in my closet. You also need their bags in your daily life, which is why I wanted to tell you about this AAPI-owned fashion brand.  Parisa Wang began her career in New York with the straightforward conviction that luxury shouldn't be unaffordable. As a young designer making handbags in 2016 that she couldn't afford to purchase herself, Parisa witnessed firsthand how outstanding craftsmanship frequently results in outrageous markups. Determined to change that, she partnered directly with the same ateliers trusted by some of the world’s mos...
