Thula Sindi - London Fashion Week

Thula Sindi, one of the most noted designer out there in South Africa, also presented his new collection for the eponymous label.
Here is some tiny reminder of his past one.

Bunmi Koko - London Fashion Week

Ohww I thought I did publish this one...

'Kaleidoscopia', Nigerian Bunmi Koko's A/W 2011 collection, was all about bright colors and a multiplicity of fabrics, from leather to feather and suede to plastic with plastic masks at times, creating some sort of futuristic Alexander McQueen collection.

Gloria W. - London Fashion Week

African designers were very well represented this year in London.
Take Ugandan Gloria Wavamunno, who presented her A/W '11 collection title "Not A Dream, My Soulmate", during "À La Mode" event.
She sticked to wax print, as usual, and worked it out beautifully, as usual. It was also the occasion to spread some message about solidarity and fight against aids.

Sass & Bide - London Fashion Week

Back in September, I introduced you to this label HERE. Ms Clarke and Ms Middleton presented their collection for this year's Autumn/Winter, during the first day of the promising London Fashion Week.
The ideas are the same, lots of prints, but very colorful this time.

Love Angel Music Baby

Yesterday Feb 17th, Gwen Stefani presented L.A.M.B.'s Fall/Winter '11 collection during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Paris Fashion Week 2011 - Julien Fournié

Raise your hands if you have not seen any highlights from that amazing show ?! Well, shame on you !


Julien Fournié gave us, what to me was, the most bold and beautiful runway show of this year's Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris.
And with good cause: the young designer paid a colorful tribute to the Black woman. Fluid shapes, brightness, afros everywhere, exclusively presented by black models.
It was worthy of the last African Fashion Week in Jo'burg.

So dear Mr Fournié, THANK YOU.

Fashion Night Out. New York. 9.7.2010

Juanjo Oliva - Or how to be stunned

OH-EM-GEE ! I literally screamed when I saw this collection ! This is gorgeously gorgeous ! When you reach that level, you are not talking 'high fashion' but 'higher-than-the-sky fashion' !

Holly Fulton - Look beyond tomorrow

London Fashion Week. Day 4

Graphic prints and futuristic shapes were, once again, the watchwords for Holly Fulton's Spring/Summer '11 collection, still with that ethnic touch.
I'm so loving the accessories !

L.A.M.B

No doubt, she is no stranger to us. Gwen Stefani killed it during the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week 2010 !
She presented the Spring/Summer 2011 collection of her label, L.A.M.B, that I believe stands for "Love. Angel. Music. Baby". Oh wait, that was the title of her first solo album back in 2004 right ?! Well.

Sass & Bide

We never hear about what's going on out there in Oceania, do we ?! Well, two talented women managed to do well and created in 1999 the label Sass and Bide.

Jewel By Lisa - Adopted by Kelis

So ! I find Kelis HORRIBLE these days, let's be honest! Weird look & accessories, a strange tendancy to mix colours that don't really match.. She can do better.
But she's working the ankara fabric very well !

Africa Fashion Week 2010 - Part. III

Christie Brown, by Ghanaian Aisha Obuobi, is what I would call "high fashion à l'africaine". I especially love that white dress with the huge wax bow !

Africa Fashion Week 2010 - Part. II

The event is now over. And after seeing the pictures, I truly think and hope that it is on its way to expend onto the fashion world because there are a lot of potential and skills ! (Click on the pics for a bigger viewing)

Africa Fashion Week 2010

This year, all eyes on South Africa !

Everyone is aware of what's going on out there in the continent.. Don't you ?! Yes, I mean the FIFA World Cup ! And that's the moment they chose to organize Africa Fashion Week in Jo'burg, from June 30th to July 3rd.
