Sean, Diddy, Puffy, Mr. Combs. Whatever you want to call him, just know he is always going to make a statement. This time, it was with his own line, Sean Jean Couture. Combs teamed up with celebrity stylist and creative director June Ambrose to create this all-black-everything moment, including a motorcycle jacket and suit with hundreds of embroidered black pearls. The statement-making piece is, of course, the puffer cape adorned with black camellia flowers (a nod to the signature white Chanel camellia flower). Combs isn’t new to the fashion designing game. With his first Sean John launch, he was the first Black man to ever win a CFDA Award in 2004.
