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.

This is no ending !

Well.. Vogue Africa is not going to appear on newsstands anytime soon.
Indeed, Condé Nast, the publishing conglomerate that takes care of Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, GQ, Teen Vogue and Vogue among others, officially said no to a licence that would make my dream come true, in spite of Mario Epanya's wonderful work.. You wonder why ?! Humm, that's a very good question which answer remains unknown.

I really do not understand what the problem is. Africa's fashion scene is being recognized in the whole fashion world for being innovative and knowing how to blend freshness, classiness and some touches of tradition. From now on, Condé Nast shouldn't pretend to promote innovation anymore. Whoever did not get that Africa fashion sense was the future.. should definately review its standards.

To be continued..

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 !
