This Thursday, Downtown Riverside, California will be turned into ONE BIG FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA! A recently opened Boutique, BOTC (Back of the Closet) Boutique, will be hosting a Fashion event, “Fashion’s Night Out,” that is sure to please the fashionista in all of us. As a San Bernardino, CA resident, I have never heard of or seen any event like this in the Inland Empire of Southern California…NEVER! Many Boutiques and Vintage shops have come and gone through Redlands and Riverside, but with the initiative the store owners are taking to put together an event like this, it seems this boutique will stand the test of time.

There will be a RUNWAY SHOW, PERFORMANCES (K’SANDRA), DJ (DJ RUDEBOY), SHOPPING, FOOD, BAR, CELEBS, STYLISTS/DESIGNERS (MR. BRADSHAW, JESSIE J, LOR-E), THE WHOLE NINE. This event will take place at the Crescent Jewell Restaurant, 3597 Main Street, Riverside, CA 92501, running from 8PM-1AM. I’m super excited about this event, and encourage anyone who lives in the Southern California Area to attend. You won’t be disappointed. THIS IS A 21 AND OLDER EVENT!

So for a little over a year I have been following a designer, sister-brother duo out of Los Angeles who calls themselves RHU & RHO. They have been in the fashion game for a minute, but with the launch of their new website and products within the last few months I feel that they are finally getting the shine they deserve.

RHU (Rhuigi), the brother of the group, has recently released a pre-collection of hot street wear under his RHUDE brand. My favorite pieces from this collection are the Bandana Tee, in a black colorway, and a Virgin Mary inspired white tank. The Bandana Tee is particularly notable, and has been seen on celebrities such as Tyga, Ryan Leslie, and Kendrick Lamar. This may arguably be the best looking shirt this year, and is expected to be released in white and dark blue. You may purchase the Bandana Tee at the RHUDE website for $150 (click the shirt on the right). I got mine already, and it looks awesome!

RHO (Rhoxy), the sister-half of this super group, released a jewelry line earlier this year entitled RHOD. Her RHOD bracelets are some of the coolest accessories I’ve seen in a while, weaving a chain together with brightly colored yarn that makes for a stand-out piece. RHO will be releasing a dope necklace line soon for RHUDE that’s sure to bring the heat. Visit RHO’s website here: http://www.therhod.com/.
