FOR THE LOVE OF FASHION
This time of year is the best time to focus on our love for fashion. The major holidays have passed, so now there is almost nothing to steal the shine from one of our greatest loves. The world is gearing up for Winter Fashion Weeks, and we are always excited to see the trends that will set the tone for the remainder of the year. Fashion is such a driving force in our everyday lives, that even Omicron won’t stop the fabulous fads from forging ahead. We expect to see some new trends, with splashes of old ones shining through, but there are some staple occasions where fashion is one of the main vehicles that drives the intended sentiment.
Think, saying “Yes” to the dress, turning “40”, and running from that hill, celebrating over 100 years of sister/brotherhood in service, or what to wear for that upcoming Galentine’s Day event. Aside from fashion weeks, we have weddings, bridal shows, Greek celebratory sessions, birthdays, and gender reveals that also bloom this time of year. Let’s shine a little light on the amazing style that accompanies these momentous occasions, reminding us just how significant and impressionable fashion truly is.
As the holiday shopping season reached its peak in the Big Apple this past week, fashion industry legend Kenneth Cole and his mentee, livewear designer Áwet Woldegebrial hosted a special Yuletide Pop-Up Shop for Black-Owned businesses. Among the plethora of fine brands and exceptional names appearing at this event was artisanal African luxury clothing, handbags, jewelry and home decor brand Adolophine, which offers beautiful products, accessories, and other fashionable items, sourced from indigenous craftspeople. Forbes Magazine reports that Adolophine was well-received alongside other prominent Black creators, including celebrity couturier Marco Hall, African home décor maker Royal Jelly Harlem, and 2∙4∙1 Cosmetics. The pop-up shop, which was held from December 17-22 at Kenneth Cole’s Bond Street store at 328 Bowery by popular demand, was an important milestone for Adolophine, being recognized by one of the world’s top names in fashion.
With the brand’s successful engagement alongside other exceptional Black-owned fashion and design names, Adolophine is prepared to emerge into a bright new year as an esteemed purveyor of fine African luxury goods that will enhance the beauty and dignity of all who wear them. With the success of this event the ambitious luxury brand has already started planning a plethora of Pop Up events for the 2022 year.
