Jaden Smith actually makes sense at Christian Louboutin Men's

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 23:59:50 +0000

In this episode of Kiki of Fashion, I share my thoughts on Jaden Smith’s debut in menswear at Christian Louboutin. The move feels both bold and cool, injecting instant edge into a brand whose men’s collections have struggled to fully capture the energy and direction of modern men’s footwear.

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 01:57:15 +0000

Louis Vuitton’s La Beauté $160 Lipsticks And Alo Yoga High-End Bags

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 17:56:55 +0000

Several shades of Louis Vuitton's $160 lipsticks are already selling out, proof that heritage brands can flex into new categories. By contrast, Alo's move into high-end leather bags feels like a bigger gamble.

The wellness baddie fit is already complete with a Chanel, Louis V, or Hermès on the arm. Can Alo really rewrite that code? Or in TikTok terms: "Lulu who? Alo me or Louis V?" The real question is whether Alo can level up from leggings to high-end accessories.

Steetwear is Not a Bad Word!

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:09:03 +0000

I wanted to record this for a while as a statement of appreciation and a response to how the term streetwear has been used to diminish. When Recho from The Cutting Room Floor called Noah a streetwear brand and the founder flinched, it reminded me how often brands resist the label. This episode highlights women’s streetwear, Snobette and Highsnobette, connects Virgil, Pharrell, and Chris Gibbs to the global rise of streetwear, with shoutouts to Sole DXB, SN3 Studio, and Streetsouk.

Pharrell, The Clipse, Hip Hop, Louis Vuitton & A Cultural Slam Dunk

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 00:14:39 +0000

In this episode, I draw an arc between Pharrell, The Clipse, hip hop, and Louis Vuitton. I highlight the long standing connection between hip hop, wealth, and menswear . It is about more than fashion. It is an acknowledgment that hip hop is global and many artists are high net worth individuals. They are not just product placement. They are the clientele.

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 04:54:38 +0000

Michael Rider’s Celine Spring 2026 collection delivered chic opulence with layered styling and thoughtful nods to past creative eras.
