While browsing Fashionologie today I stumble upon this spring 2012 collection from Moschino Cheap & Chic. Now according to Fashionologie the collection is said to be inspired by the 70s. I thought the below pieces were more like African print. You know I love my prints and they are so not ready to leave the runways. What do you say ? love it ? or just blahhhh .

SEGI’s is an African Fashion accessory brand dedicated to the creation of beautiful handbags, wallets, purses, footwear for male and female, belts, bangles, earrings, brooches, hairpieces, tops with Ankara designs using beautiful African fabrics like Ankara, Aso-Oke, Kente and beads.Inspired by the desire to infusing the African fabrics in a stylish way into our everyday wear; SEGI’s is very affordable for the young African.

Behold the hidden secrets of the new Vlisco fabric collection named Silent Empire. The drama of a frozen opera with a touch of blossoming wit reveals spiritual ambiguity. A restrained yet ceremonious composition of graphic shapes further emphasises a sense of a serene stratification. The layering of details in patterns creates a cultured perception of the designs. The boldness of the designs is tempered by a colour palette dominated by muted earthy tones and alternating with intense shades of blue and lime to create an eye-catching twist.      

If you are lacking inspiration on what to wear to your next party or outing here is a look cheer you up.Remember to incorporate an African aesthetic to your everyday look. Be inspired !!!!!!!!!!
