@kevingermanier @naomiosaka No Words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This ensemble is magnificence personified. Why this was not the choice for the Met carpet, I don’t know but I am glad I waited to speak about the fashion shown which outside of @teyanataylor and @wisdm and @adutakech , I was underwhelmed. But then this!

#MeccaMoves! Earth 🌍 Day 2026 HBCU Climate Ventures at @howard1867 as a proud alum was a powerful gathering of great people working in sustainability on all levels from students to professors to entrepreneurs. @arthausagency did it again with her outstanding gift for bringing us all together and steering the conversation around circularity, AI and sustainability, renewable energy and more. I moderated The Regenerative Thread panel with these dynamic women making a difference in their communities through education, using traditional dying methods, and refurbishing our beloved sneakers like no other. Thank you ladies✨✨✨ My fit you know had to feature Black + Brown designers: @dye_lab shirt @aminamuaddi pumps

The @juneambrose x @naturalizer Style-Letics event at @macy ’s last night was so much fun but if you follow June, you wouldn’t expect anything less!! Her energy is unmatched and the shoes in this collection are a perfect punctuation to her storied career as a stylist, image architect, and culture-maker✨✨ I had to wear the pair of espadrille’s I had from June’s first ever shoe collection, bought many moons ago but still so good! When I showed her, she was pleasantly surprised. Stay tuned to see me galavanting around the city in my pair of pumps! #Styleletics#blackdesigner#fashion#comfort#shoes

As a proud Howard Alum, #HBCUClimateVentures is an initiative founded by @arthausagency for students of HBCUs to “see themselves in the full spectrum of climate innovation, from material innovation and fashion supply chain optimization, to brand building and storytelling” among many other ways. Given that African Americas are disproportionately impacted by climate and environmental hazards, our inclusion in the fight for climate action is critical and it starts with young people. Color Coded Style’s mission has always been to uplift + showcase Black and Brown designers in addition to promoting + educating my audience about sustainable fashion, thus being apart of this venture is a no brainer and even more meaningful to me because I am a product of one of the best HBCUs. Get your tickets today! Tell the young people in your life to attend whether they attend an HBCU or not. Representation is key! 🔗 in Bio #howarduniversity#climate#sustainablefashion#hbcu

A feast for the eyes this week. Art is for me just like fashion. It is essential. It feeds my creativity and my soul. #artist#nycartgallery#blackartists#painting#collage

About last night… I’ve followed @bernardjames for a few years now and last year I created a post in homage to the Black-owned jewelry brands that I love and featured Bernard’s Mirror Pendant Necklaces on Telsha + Justin, a beautiful campaign celebrating Black love and fine jewelry all in one. I also featured one of my fav pieces of his, the Spina Diamond Ring wrapped around flower stems and I got to experience the ring and the necklaces in person last night - Chef’s Kiss! Seeing Black jewelers support each other was a highlight of the evening. I spotted @lorrainewestjewelry whose “Major” necklace is featured in the post and introduced myself and she was equally as lovely as Bernard ✨✨ Thank you @tim.jrobertson for the invite and always looking out 🙌🏾✨ Fun times with you and your bro😂 #finejewelry#blackjewelrydesigner#blackexcellence#diamonds#nynights
