Winnie Harlow Wears The Frankie Shop
Winnie Harlow wore a monochromatic outfit designed by The Frankie Shop over the weekend. Her appearance at Jay-Z’s iconic 40/40 Club in partnership with Fanatics Sportsbook in New York City prompted this burgundy-hued look. Her attention to detail with added texture took this look to the next level rather than falling flat with no dimension. Harlow’s sheer bralette layered underneath a faux leather coat paired with matching shorts was a success.
Her pointed-toe heels with added straps in the same hue were a fitting touch. Meanwhile, her accessories are what stole the show, she complimented her burgundy with hues of green in her large pendant necklace and her crocodile print mini handbag.

Neiman Marcus’s Fashion Film Starring Ayo Edebiri Was A Hit
It seems fashion’s true out-of-the-box creativity is coming back. Tyler Williams’s short film for Neiman Marcus’s “The Art Of Fashion” campaign was a delightful watch. The fashion, the playful approach, and the fantasy that fashion offers were all featured with actors Ayo Edebiri and Colman Domingo to portray such a rich love of fashion in the film. Every year, the retailer will match an artist or creative individual to the form such fashion imagery for its yearly campaign. The styles that Edebiri was seen posing in were designed by the likes of Christopher John Rogers, Loewe, Amiri, and Schiaparelli. She is perhaps a budding fashion star.
“Neiman Marcus has an indisputable history of collaborating with the greatest talents and we are thrilled that Tyler Mitchell has joined us this season to mark the next phase of The Art of Fashion,” said Neiman’s chief brand officer, Nabil Aliffi tells WWD.
