Sika Designs

London based designer Phyllis Taylor is making a bold and vibrant use of the wax fabric. She created Sika Designs, another brand which clothes are all hand-made and straight from Ghana. From square-shouldered jackets, jumpsuits, to prom dresses and full skirts, every trend has its own afrocentric translation. I'm simply loving it !

Ohema Ohene

Men are not excluded from this blog, they sure know how to carry a terrific style as well, and sometimes better than some of us women.. One of the places they especially excel in that art is London.
Well, this is the upcoming menswear collection from British brand Ohema Ohene. The designer, Abenaa Pokuaa, got inspired by her native country and the one she's living in, blended the two ideas, and I must say that I like it alot ! It's trendy and wearable on some daily basis.

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 !
