I am currently loving Manoir Coloré, which is a French based label by Bayi de Souza. I found them Via Tumblr however I could not find much about the designer. Here is how they describe the line on their Pinterest page:

" NO MELANIN FREE, French handmade refined and tribal fashion design". Designer, artistic, Manoir Coloré reinvented fashion defying its conventions, creating a refined tribal fashion. Manoir Coloré followed no rules, epitomising the very modern values of cultures mixity and passion. 

Salut dolls,
Its the end of the week and I am  always excited for the weekend. I would like to thank the dolls over at Shadders for keeping me on loop about this fab Ghanaian fashion house AjePomaa Design  Although I had never heard of AjePomaa before this is their sixth collection.

INSPIRATION
The inspiration for this collection was taken from the silhouette of the Great Gatsby from the period of the1920s. Silhouettes then, represented a lighter and free spirited time. This new collection modernizes the fashion of the roaring twenties by adding a burst of color using color blocking and intense vibrant prints.Fearless Evolution represents the ajePomaa Gallery woman as bold and reborn, having evolved from her past self. The use of chiffon fabric represents a light and unrestraint feel, combined with bold complex wax prints, to show an explosion of vibrant colors such as canary yellow, heather grey, apple green, bright blue and burnt orange. This represents an intense evolution.
Adding soft detailing such as neck ties, knife pleats, and flowing silhouettes gave a bit of feminine
panache to the collection; a contrast to the androgynous style of the Twenties era.

 I stumble upon Ashanti Brazil line a few days ago on facebook and I could not wait to share  it with you. This would make my french fashinionitas happy especially the ones looking to add a little sizzle to their wardrobe. Ashanti Brazil is a young brand that brings together African and Brazilian culture expressed through a fun and flirty summer wear brand. Ashanti is the African tribe that designer Annabel Kwateng originates from (Ghana). After long vacations in Brazil, she was inspired by the beautiful nature, the passionate culture, and the mesmerizing colors of the country. Ashanti Brazil uses beautiful African prints to create clothes that are fun, flirtatious and exotic. Now living on the French Riviera, Annabel brings her brand of Tribal Chic with a Brazilian flavor to the region.

                                       This is the latest collection  of Nigerian designer Samantha Jane.

 I love it when I find designers  that use Ankara ( wax) to make their designs even though sometimes I know that a lot of you fashionistas have mixed feeling about it .Anyways this one is for my french and European fashionistas looking for something affordable to wear.  The designer is located in France and you can contact them via their website.

"Inspired by the tropics, The Resort collection consists of flowy floral print and bright colored maxi dresses as well as colorful beaded statement party dresses that will take you from day till night. This collection combines the
simplicity of classic pieces from past eras armed with exotic yet playful colors, prints and embellishments. This collection pushes the boundaries of vintage inspired clothing by developing fashion forward statement pieces that
would add excitement to any wardrobe"
