AFRICAN FASHION DESIGNER : MEET ERE DAPPA

Eredappa 2011 Autumn/winter collection

Eredappa Hart, is a Nigerian fashion designer who has mastered the heart of combining classic European lines with traditional African Ankara fabrics and luminescent bead work to create a stunning collection that has become the talk of the fashion world."Art in motion", "a visual feast," " one-of-a-kind statements", are a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe the design mastery of EREDAPPA.
Clean lines, bold colour and intricate beading make every piece she creates a stand alone, head-turner that leaves a lasting impression. I discovered her work a few months back during the Arise fashion week in Nigeria  and could not wait to find  spotlight her. Although i love the cut of the dresses I am also absolutely in love with the prints of the fabrics .Eredappa will  showcase her  Spring/Summer 2012 collection during New York market week from Sept 12 to 23 2011 as guest designer at the Nexus showroom in NYC .You can find out more her work by visiting her website.So what do you think of Eredappa ? Is it one of your African fashion houses? designers? would you like to see more from them . Always let me know if there are any other designers you’d like to see spotlighted on Ciaafrique in the future .
