Fabulous Finds : Free peoples Rebellion

 I have been in love with the accessories of Free rebellion  for a while but had yet to  post about the label. F.P.R. is all about incorporating the African aesthetic in your everyday wear through accessories. All the fabric is from home (Africa), everything is hand made, and partial proceeds go to a charitable organization called Children's Comforting Yard. I visited their site today and came upon their new collection and thought I should share it with you.

Liberian designer Fanta Kamara for Marazetti

 According to her website Fanta Kamara was born in Monrovia, Liberia, a small country on the West Coast of Africa. Wasn't too long before the country experienced its first major power struggle; a country of sixteen ethnic tribes of which everyone wanted a presidency representative. Chaos stroked and Liberia's fifteen years of civil war began. Rear in Monrovia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Singapore, due to the war; unlike many others, Fanta experienced an unaccommodating childhood, but her strength and determination allowed her to have sustained the horrific war conditions. In late 2000, Fanta and her family moved to the United States, where she completed her secondary and post-secondary education. A tomboy growing up, fashion was the last thing on her mind; she studied Pharmacology, Management, Computer Programming and Information Technology at renowned universities in the US. Fanta's initial femini experience was her high school prom, where no baggy jeans, or basketball shorts, or Jordan, or Nikes, or Timberlands were allow;---dresses and stilettoes only! Everyone encouraged her to pursue modeling --- She first tried a hand at pageantry; after winning Miss Universal Youth and Miss Liberia Ohio, she decided pageantry bordered her-it was too tailored and didn’t allowed much creativity. Modeling became her new passion in life---staring in her college annual fashion shows to walking numerous of international runways including New York and Milan and being featured in major ad campaigns.
