Claire Sulmers, CEO of Fashion Bomb, continues to shine as a trailblazer in the fashion industry. A true innovator and disruptor, she has carved out her own space, making a significant impact, especially for women of color.
Recently, Sulmers appeared on *CBS Mornings* with Gayle King to discuss her journey—from launching *Fashion Bomb Daily* to breaking barriers in the fashion world and creating her own opportunities. The hosts warmly welcomed her, highlighting her achievements and the role she has played in promoting diversity within the industry.
With a background in journalism as a fact-checker at *Real Simple Magazine*, Sulmers took the initiative in 2006 to start her own blog, aiming to showcase people who looked like her—something rarely seen in mainstream fashion publications at the time. Her dedication led her from being featured in *Teen Vogue* as the “Blogger of the Moment” alongside Marc Jacobs to becoming the CEO of the leading multicultural digital fashion platform.
Dressed in a striking mint green *Fumi Janet Embellished Dress* paired with Tiffany Blue *Cult of Coquette* slingback pumps, Sulmers made a stylish statement on the show. Gayle King also opted for a chic look, wearing a green and black printed Chiara Boni cocktail dress, accessorized with an Apple Watch and metallic chrome heels.
During the interview, King praised *Fashion Bomb Daily* for its positive and uplifting approach to fashion coverage. When asked to describe the platform, Sulmers explained that it is “educationally aspirational,” offering inspiration through great style. She emphasized her mission to highlight and uplift others, encouraging those passionate about fashion to get involved with *Fashion Bomb Daily*.
It was inspiring to see Sulmers and King come together to discuss how *Fashion Bomb Daily* has influenced diversity and inclusion in fashion. As the conversation wrapped up, Sulmers announced that the platform will be hosting its third annual *The Bomb Fashion Show* on September 9th during New York Fashion Week.
