Hello Xoe Ayana! It's so nice to chat with you. Your LAFW show was such a moment. How did it feel standing backstage knowing all your hard work was about to hit the runway?

It felt surreal! Each garment was handpicked and matched together, and seeing the vision I created in my mind come to life backstage was such a huge accomplishment.


Every piece from Sunset and Blvd had its own personality. What inspired the colors, details, and overall vibe for this collection?

I wanted to create an outlet for anyone who wants to keep their wardrobe stylish while integrating their personality with the clothes. I chose colors that felt vibrant, added details that made each piece stand out, and created a vibe that is Sunset Blvd ready. That is what clothes are all about. Finding your style, trying new pieces, playing with colors and details, and adding your own kick to it.


The models totally brought your vision to life. What was it like seeing them own the red carpet and runway in your designs?

They all did so amazing bringing the vision to life! Each fit was perfect for each model. Watching them step into fashion week without knowing their outfits, trust the show process, and still love the final look made the moment unforgettable. Creating a full runway show is a huge achievement.

​What part of the process made you feel the most proud?

The moment that made me feel the most proud was seeing everything come together on show day. Watching the models walk the red carpet and runway with so much pride and confidence showed me that the entire creative process was worth it. It reminds me why I created Sunset and Blvd!


Fashion week can feel like a whirlwind. What was your favorite behind the scenes memory that fans would love to hear about?

While the models and I were backstage getting ready for showtime, we had to practice their model walk. We did a walk through first, and since they are already models, they were already amazing! Seeing them add their own twist when they posed and flowed through their walk was so amazing to watch. It really showed how passionate they are about modeling and how much they have been practicing on their own.
​

You made the audience fall in love with Sunset and Blvd. What message did you hope people would take away from your show?

I hoped the show encouraged everyone to step outside the box, try new ideas, and have fun with their style.


Now that LAFW was such a success, what dreams are you excited to chase next for your brand?

New York Fashion Week in February is our next stop! 2026 is going to be full of Fashion Weeks, partnerships, pop-up shops, and so much more. You may even see Sunset & Blvd on the Sunset Strip!

Before the final bell rings and you rush off for winter break, make sure your sneaker game is on point. The 'ugly sneaker' era is officially over. This season's trends are all about classic silhouettes, fun colors, and a clean, comfortable look that takes you straight from your last class to dance practice without missing a beat.


Trend Report: What Everyone's Wearing

The Retro Revival (The 'Dad Shoe' Edit): While the chunky shoes of a few years ago are out, the sleek '80s and '90s trainers are in

The Look: Flat soles, vintage-inspired colorways (think reds, blues, and forest greens), and a low-profile design. These look awesome with baggy jeans or paired with oversized socks and a tennis skirt.

​Style Hack: Keep them pristine! Use a magic eraser or a sneaker cleaner kit to maintain that fresh-out-of-the-box look.
Color-Pop Classics:

​Basic white sneakers are a staple, but this trend demands a jolt of color.
The Look: Take a classic silhouette (like a low-top skate shoe) and find it in a bold, unexpected color like lilac, neon green, or a vibrant mustard yellow.
Style Hack: Match the color to one small accessory, like your scrunchie, backpack patch, or phone case, to pull the whole look together.
The Slip-On Champion:

Comfort has won. For those days when you're running late or just want an easy look, slip-on sneakers are dominating.
The Look: Mules, clog-style sneakers, or traditional canvas slip-ons. They offer a casual, minimalist vibe.
Style Hack: Perfect for throwing in your dance bag for before and after practice. They let your feet breathe after being in pointe shoes or tight jazz sneakers!
Your shoes are the foundation of your outfit. Choose a trend that speaks to your personality and walk into break in style!

The collection releases November 20 at 12 PM ET, and the internet is already talking about what could be one of the most exciting streetwear drops of the season.
​
What is Cactus Plant Flea Market
​Cactus Plant Flea Market, often called CPFM, is a cult favorite streetwear label known for playful graphics, handcrafted details, and an offbeat creative style. The brand rose to fame through collaborations with stars like Kanye West, Kid Cudi, and Pharrell Williams. CPFM pieces are known to sell out instantly, which makes this partnership with SKIMS a major moment for fans of high demand streetwear.

Why This Collaboration Matters
This is not just another SKIMS drop. CPFM has a dedicated following that values exclusivity and bold visual identity. SKIMS has built a reputation for shaping the modern basics category. Bringing these two worlds together creates a fresh blend of cozy comfort and graphic heavy design.
North West starring in the campaign adds another layer of cultural relevance. She has grown into a Gen Alpha style icon with millions watching her growing influence.

What We Know So Far About the Collection
While full product details have not been released, early previews suggest the line will feature:
  • Soft fleece sets with CPFM signature bubble graphics
  • Playful color palettes inspired by CPFM’s collage style
  • Kid friendly pieces modeled by North West
  • Classic SKIMS silhouettes reimagined with CPFM visual language
​ 
This collaboration is expected to include both adult and kids sizing, continuing SKIMS strong presence in family friendly collections.

The Release Date and Where to Buy
The Cactus Plant Flea Market x SKIMS collection officially drops November 20 at 12 PM ET. It will be available exclusively on the SKIMS website. Based on CPFM’s history of instant sell outs, shoppers can expect traffic to be high and quantities limited.

Why This Launch is Generating Buzz
A few key reasons are pushing this collaboration to viral status:
  • CPFM has not released many major collections in 2024 and fans are eager
  • SKIMS continues to dominate the fashion conversation with strong brand power
  • North West has a rising influence that draws social media attention
  • The combination of streetwear and loungewear appeals to multiple audiences
