CHRISTIAN COWAN: Wait….. what time is it? According to designer Christian Cowan it’s time to dial up the excess a notch or two with his FW19 RTW collection. What started out with his signature watch encrusted gloves (see Cardi B below) Cowan evolved that style and transferred it onto hats which were created by Sarah Sokol Millinery, necklaces, sleeves and yes even a body suit embellished with Rolex type watches. But wait…. did he just replace a shoe strap with a watch? Damn! Not only is that clever but functional as well! 
Cardi B first rocked Christian Cowan’s lavish watch embellished gloves for the artwork on her first single Money off of her Invasion of Privacy album. According to Vogue.com – As her stylist Kollin Carter described over the phone, “Money” is all about Cardi being a boss (at one point, she quips “10 different looks and my looks all kill”) and celebrating financial stability, so Carter wanted Cardi to embody this paean to luxury in the artwork, too. “Growing up, Cardi and I both loved diamonds and gold,” says Carter of their particular vision of extravagance, which they achieved through the over-the-top Christian Cowan watch gloves. 
THE BLONDS: Like Cowan there was no shortage of excess. With Paris Hilton making an appearance at their show, The Blonds brought out all the glitter and gold for their RTW FW19 collection. Hairstyles comprised of different rhinestone and chain types graced the models’ heads as they walked down the runway. What we loved were the bold statement making embroidered chain lettered necklaces that spelled out the fashion label’s name.
