Never too hot for some knitwear

You might have already gone through this shoot from English designer Derek Lawlor. It was shot in Uganda, by photographer A.J Hamilton, and I absolutely adore the contrast made between knitwear and heat.

Boxing Kitten's new season

Maya Lake is back with her mixed-prints signature creations for Boxing Kitten's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The vintage cuts are still on point ! I'm sure B.K's top clientele, including the Knowles sisters, Kelis and Rihanna to name a few, will know how to rock these new pieces properly.

In an article from the October '10 issue of 19th Hole Magazine, Miss Lake announced her will to create a menswear collection. I'm pretty impatient to see that !

naKIMuli Inc.

One of my favorite young designers, Tenille McMillan, is back for a Holiday '10 collection with her very own label naKIMuli. Let me give you a must-see reminder..

L.A.M.B at your arms too

You might have not ignore Gwen Stefani's latest afro collection for L.A.M.B.. I came across this STUNNING bag earlier, which appears to be part of the line as well. Then I found the four other ones.. Must-haves !

However, they need to launch a website or online shop for that amazing brand, because I don't know how nor where you can shop these items. So Gwen, if you pass through..

Jewel By Lisa

Oh I thought I already did post Jewel By Lisa's Autumn/Winter '10 collection ! So here it is. Fantastic like every line of the brand. And if you've never heard of JBL take a look at the post I did back in August.

Model Time !

I come across this poster everyday when taking the subway, and I wanted to know who these two men were. So there it is: I give you Armando Cabral (R) and his alleged brother (not sure about that at all).

Eki Orleans - Soft & Colorful

"My collection accentuates the feminine, the brave and the sexy within all of us and it's my mission to bring out the colourful goddess in every woman." 

ZedEye - Obvious trend-setter in the making

Paris may be the capital of fashion, but it appears like London is its school.
We have another talented graduate designer from London College of Fashion here: Ngozie Pere-Okorotie. The Nigerian-born founded ZedEye, a Vivienne-Westwood-meets-Victorian-theme-meets-Africa line. These are actually the young designer main inspirations. And I must say that it is very tasteful and eye-catching !

These are from the S/S 2011 collection entitled Tribal Romance Revisited. I can see the girl Chrisette Michelle in them..

Tina Kalivas - Multicultural skills

Tina Kalivas  is an Australian designer who worked for the late great Alexander McQueen, just after she graduated from the London College of Fashion. Since 2002, she manages her own eponymous label, from which the designs are known to be always very ethnic.

You might recognize this first outfit.. Indeed, this is what our dear Solange wore a couple of months ago for her Fahizblack spread [remember ??].

Peacock Couture - Black eyed pea on the carpet

Let's stay on those American Music Awards's red carpet with a quick look at Fergie's outfit. She arrived with a short Falguni & Shane Peacock black-and-blue sequined dress with feathers and lace. I personally liked it, contrary to many other feedbacks..

The red-hair girl gets printed all up !

Rihanna is so off her 'All Black Everything' outfits ! 

"Survival of the Fashionista"

This is some random editorial I bumped into on Essence.com. It was shot back in September 2009 and the girls feature creations by Hussein Chalayan and Bryce D'Anice Aime.

Models: Eligha Ojoko and Teara Eglestone from Major Model Management.

Asos Africa

Remember when I introduced you to Asos Africa here ?? Well, the pieces featured on that post are at sale price !

Boxing Kitten - About a destiny

A third part of one of my fav band was rocking Boxing Kitten lately. Did Solange whisper Michelle a word about B. K. ?

I love Suno

Rachel Bilson

That brand might be one of my favorites out of the bench. And it also appears as Rihanna's and Elle Fanning's huge digs. Even America's 1st Lady has adopted the NYC based brand. Recently spotted during Fashion Nights Out was actress Rachel Bilson in that cute little dress from the 2011 Resort collection, which I like alot. Take a look, and at the Spring-Summer '11 one as well. This year, there's a fabulicious bonus..
