SPOTTED: Beyonce in African print outfit by Demestiks New York


African print outfit inspiration- beyonce


It's no secret that Beyonce loves wearing African print. I just love that she really does give a chance to the up and coming and indie designers. Demestiks New York is one of Ciaafrique fave designers. The work of Reuben Reuel designer of Demestiks has been featured on Ciaafrique several times and he was even nice enough to send me one of his designs. The pieces that Beyonce is wearing are both available here.

Inspired by Africa ? insult ? do you care? Beyonce's Photoshoot for L'officiel Mag

Unless you've been living under the rocks the last couple of days you might have heard or read about Beyonce's controversial pictures for the french Magazine "L'officiel". To tell you the truth some people are taking this photo shoot too seriously.The thing that bothers me is this " why didn't they choose an African(or Nigerian) designers to style the singer instead of Gucci.I chose these two pictures because this are the one that are closer to a tribute to Fela Kuti (Africa)as it can gets.Where did they get this outfit from? It looks like mudcloth from Mali to me or is this part of Gucci's last collection too? No matter how you feel about this issue I think we should just focus on better things in this world than to worry about what Beyonce does to make money.Beyonce is getting free publicity , and the Magazine is known all over the world now what do we as African gets? NOTHING.I rather focus my energy on how to make my country and Africa a better place. Don't get me wrong I love Beyonce because I think she is very talented but at the same time she is human maybe this was a mistake on her part or just a way to grab our attention. 

Anyways what is your take on this ?

I have some particular blogs that I almost read everyday and Ebony intuition is one of them . I found these beautiful pics of Alicia Keys and Beyonce in boxing kitten . This is for the video shoot of their new song .  I Love boxing kitten and a presented her work on ciaafrique before. There was some controversies surrounding the fact that she does not even mention the origin of the fabrics she uses. I think she does some beautiful pieces  with the fabrics but at the same time I think these stars should use African designers as well. There are so many good ones out there. Maybe this will inspire people to an put some highlights on our  Designers.  What do you think ?
