CHICHIA LONDON {ARCHIVES}

kitenge and kanga designs by chichia london

 Originally posted on June 26 2009 
 How could anyone forget this collection from Chichia London Back in 2009.  My blog was not even a year old and the work of African designers was slowly being recognized around the world. This collection made me think about how rich and colorful African fashion was and to be honest it was one of the flyest collection at the time.

Lookbook: Washington Roberts SS11 Collection



The Washington Roberts Spring Summer 2011 Collection probes the scientific realm of Avatar (2009, James Cameron,) with its angular shapes and seaming.
“Geometry” calls to the makeup and costuming of the film with the manipulation of fabrics, cut outs, and experimentation with different textures. This collection is the epitome of edge, sophistication, femininity, and elegance. This collection is iconic Washington Roberts.
The defining image on the designer’s namesake sight, the “Navi” blazer, pairs Organza with novelty Tweed Fabric, for the ultimate relationship of sex and business. A provocative hint of skin is presented throughout the collection through the use of Chiffon, Organza, and Lace. Such looks as the “Eywa,”plays on this season’s mix-mash trend - pairing bold colors and patterns- with a slight twist of skin. Overall the collection presents equal parts business and pleasure, each piece easily translates from work to play. If nothing else, Washington Robert’s definitely knows how to accentuate the female physique with fun, modern, and bold pieces.
Washington Roberts Spring Summer collection brings certain sophistication with its presumed elegance and hint of modernization. WR is created for the woman who desires to look feminine yet strong, confident and impeccably stylish.

2010 Africa fashion week : Xuly bet




Although I like the work of this Xuly bet  , I am not a fan of this collection .Its too dark for me I feel like its a Deja vu. He is a unique designer but sometimes you have to  get out of your comfort  Zone and surprise the audience . This is exactly what I expected from him  no Surprise here.Any thoughts ?
