Kansas City-area fashion designer scores with custom Chiefs coats

January 28, 2024

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City knows a thing or two about going viral, especially when it comes to the Chiefs.

After Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes went viral for wearing designer Kristin Juszczyk’s Chiefs-inspired jackets, one local designer was inspired to put his own spin on the re-purposed jersey trend, something he thought was an incredible idea for the fashion world.

“My friend made a post saying, ‘Oh, Sheraz can definitely make a rendition of it,’ and I was like, ‘Of course I can,’” said Sheraz Pompey, a Kansas City area designer.

Pompey has been a designer for 11 years and is a co-owner of The Blueprint KC, a family-owned one-stop shop for clothing, makeup and custom designs that he and his two sisters run in Grandview.

He says he hadn’t even considered making custom puffer jackets until people online started asking about what local designers in Kansas City could make them.

So, he got to work.

“I didn’t know it was going to be such a viral thing; I’m not mad about it at all,” Pompey said.

Before he knew it, he was going viral on social media and getting at least 30 requests for his custom-made coats — which was at least 20 more than he intended to make.

“I initially started off wanting to just make 10,” Pompey said. “I had to stop it at one point ‘cause I had to mark it as sold out because I only wanted to do 10.”

While 10 sounds like a small amount, there’s hours of work that goes into each jacket. Pompey says in total, each jacket takes seven hours of total.

How Rebecca Chamberlain, a Recycled-Fashion Designer, Spends Her Sundays

January 27, 2024

For many years, Rebecca Chamberlain designed clothes for famous brands, mostly to make ends meet. During the coronavirus pandemic, she started doing it for herself — by turning old garments into modern, sophisticated pieces.

“When I was ghost-designing for mainstream clothing companies, it felt like we were always racing — towards what, a markdown?” said Ms. Chamberlain, 53, adding that she disliked the amount of waste the fashion world created.

In 2020, Ms. Chamberlain said, she felt at peace back at the sewing machine as she “frantically” made hundreds of masks for a nearby hospital from her upstate home in Andes, N.Y. It was also the first time she had a chance to be creative for herself, she said.

While many people found comfort in sweatpants, Chamberlain found herself hunting for old military gear, quilts, jeans and men’s shirts.

She first took apart a pair of Levi’s jeans and a pair of wool pants and sewed them together. Old military field jacket liners were turned into pants. The sleeves from men’s shirts were cut and tucked in to look like something a modern Rosie the Riveter might wear. “It was so fluid, so intuitive,” she said. “And it finally felt right.”

The clothing she initially made for herself became the inspiration for her clothing line Chamberlain Regenerated, where vintage and secondhand clothes are reborn as new garments. She lives in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn with her husband, Guy Richards Smit, 53, an artist; their sons, Aims, 17, and Wilhelmus, 13; and their cat, Elizabeth Warren.

Rihanna Pairs a Belted Coat With a Baseball Cap at Paris Fashion Week

Rihanna’s outfits never miss, and her latest fashion week getup was no exception.

The 35-year-old singer attended the Christian Dior haute couture show at Paris Fashion Week on Monday, January 22, in an impossibly cool black monochromatic look.

She wore a belted black puffer coat over a matching figure hugging mid-length dress. The coat featured a subtle artful print and flared out into two dramatically pointed lapels. Rihanna paired the sophisticated number with pointed white pumps, a black Dior top handle purse, black leather gloves and a black baseball cap that tilted slightly to the side.

For jewelry, the “Love on the Brain” singer went all out with a diamond necklace, earrings and a stack of anklets.

She wore her hair down in loose waves and sported long lashes, shimmery silver eyeshadow, pink blush and pink lips rimmed with black lip liner.

While a baseball cap and a ladylike dress is an unexpected pairing, Rihanna is no stranger to the stylish look.

A week prior, on Tuesday, January 16, she was photographed in Los Angeles wearing a black Givenchy dress which she teamed with a Yankees baseball cap. She topped the look off with crystal embellished heels and a black shearling coat.

49er fullback Kyle Juszczyk ‘stoked’ for his fashion designer wife

49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk touts his fashion designer wife

49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk touts his fashion designer wife, Kristin, who designs puffy jackets for stars, including Taylor Swift

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Forget the football game this weekend: One member of the 49ers just wanted to talk about his wife, and how her clothing line has gone viral.

In a locker room interview on Tuesday, fullback Kyle Juszczyk told reporters how thrilled and proud he is of his wife, Kristin, a fashion designer now being called up by Vogue regarding her hand-sewn jackets modeled by Taylor Swift and other athletes’ wives.

“I’m so stoked for her,” he said. “I just know how hard she grinded.”

What thrust Kristin Juszcyk into the spotlight was when pop superstar-turned-Chiefs fan Taylor Swift wore one of her puffy winter coats looked like the jersey of Swift’s boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce, to a playoff game in frigid Kansas City on Saturday night.

Kristin Juszczyk has been making custom designs for several years, starting with Halloween costumes and growing to outfits she has worn to her husband’s games.

Even some of the 49ers players, such as receiver Deebo Samuel, have worn her creations this season, as well as people such as Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, whose husband, Jonathan Owens, plays for the Green Bay Packers, and Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

That led to an opening to send a Travis Kelce jacket to Swift, who ended up wearing it to the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Miami Dolphins game, making the designer a mini-celebrity, who drew interest from wide-ranging outlets such as Vogue Magazine and ESPN football insider Adam Schefter.

“To see Taylor wearing it, and it looked awesome, it was just incredible,” Kyle Juszczyk said. “We are so happy at our

Winners and losers in Black communities

January 22, 2024

In the ever-evolving realm of fashion, the interplay between designer brands and black communities stands at the crossroads of celebration and critique. Navigating the intricacies of this relationship is imperative, offering insights into the triumphs and tribulations experienced within Black communities in the realm of designer fashion. This article endeavors to unravel the multifaceted narrative, shedding light on the dichotomy of winners and losers amid the complex tapestry that intertwines high-end fashion with diverse communities.

From inspirational success stories that empower to the persistent challenges that demand acknowledgment, this exploration delves into the profound impact designer fashion wields on Black communities. By scrutinizing the dynamics at play, we aim to decipher how the fashion landscape shapes — and is shaped by — the experiences of individuals within these communities.

The rise of Black fashion icons

At the forefront of this narrative are the black fashion icons who have not only conquered the runways but have also become influential figures who are breaking barriers in the industry. From Naomi Campbell strutting down international catwalks to the late Virgil Abloh revolutionizing luxury streetwear with Off-White and Louis Vuitton, Black designers and models are claiming their space and transforming the narrative.

However, it’s essential to acknowledge that this success is not uniform across the board. The fashion industry still grapples with issues of diversity and inclusion, with calls for more representation both on and off the runway.

The impact of high-end fashion on Black communities

While the success stories inspire, it’s equally important to address the impact of high-end fashion on everyday lives within Black communities. The lure of luxury brands can create a socioeconomic divide, leaving some individuals feeling excluded or pressured to conform to a certain image of success.

The winners: Empowerment through representation

Representation matters, and the winners in this

Portsmouth fashion designer’s hat worn by NBA star Kyrie Irving

January 21, 2024

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Portsmouth entrepreneur Mike Rivers Jr. got quite the surprise earlier this month from one of the NBA’s biggest stars.

Kyrie Irving, the 8-time All-Star and NBA champion, was pictured on the Dallas Mavericks’ Instagram donning a black and white crocheted hat that Rivers made specifically for Irving.

Rivers said he had no idea Uncle Drew would ever wear it, but it fell right into place like one of the point guard’s silky jumpers.

“I grew up watching Allen Iverson and then Kyrie kind of took the Allen Iverson to the next level, so I’ve always been a fan of Kyrie,” said Rivers, who was born and raised in Portsmouth “But also I do pay attention to what celebrities are wearing. After I noticed he wears those hats a lot I said I’m gonna design something for him, give it a shot.”

The bucket-style hat took about a month to complete and actually glows in the dark thanks to a special type of yarn. It also has Irving’s jersey number: 11.

“Instead of sending a picture or an illustration, I took a chance and just made it,” Rivers added. “[Kyrie’s people] saw it, they said ‘well we’ll show it to him, it looks great but it’s up to him,” but I got the call back saying that he loved it.”

Not long after, Irving was wearing the hat on the way to the Mavs’ Jan. 5 game against the Blazers. He’d go on to lead Dallas to a 139-103 victory without Luka Doncic, scoring a team-high 24 points.

Maybe it was the magic of the hat?

Harris Reed’s ‘Fluid’ fashion vision, from Harry Styles to the guillotine

January 20, 2024

It’s unusual for a 27-year-old to release a career retrospective coffee table book. But there are many unusual things about the London-based designer Harris Reed, a 6-foot-4 wunderkind of the fashion industry at the vanguard of gender-expansive fashion design.

Yesterday, Reed released “Fluid,” a book tracing the beginning of his already remarkable career in fashion.

“It felt kind of like — and this is so cringe to say — a Gen Z coffee table book,” Reed said during a break from a photo shoot in London for his namesake line.

“It’s not as large as the Tom Ford book,” Reed continued, speaking at a clip that sounds like the 1.5x function was selected on a phone. “I also don’t want to be as pretentious to think that at 27 I’m good enough to even be next to someone like the incredible Tom Ford.”

The book’s title refers to Reed’s gender-fluid designs, which can incorporate men’s tailoring, dramatic women’s silhouettes and flouncy androgynous details, sometimes in the same look.

Reed has had the kind of career that is best described as “impossible” — dressing a major pop star before he even graduated art school. His is the type of enviable story that sets unrealistic standards for generations of future aspiring designers.

Reed grew up in Arizona and Los Angeles. His mother founded a candle company in 1994. His father won an Oscar in 2014 for a short-form documentary film. Harris remembers them as being exceptionally supportive of his gender explorations from a young age.

After high school, Reed attended Central Saint Martins college in London. During his first year, he was tapped to model for a Gucci perfume ad, where he was photographed alongside the saxophonist and Gucci muse
