AFRICAN NEW YORK FASHION WEEK- BLACKBIRD DESIGNS

Blackbird designs has always been known as the underground fellas, they were just not given enough recognition as much in Kenya but hey dreams come true for some and Blackbird certainly achieved one of their dreams and that is to showcase internationally. They got the chance to showcase at New York last week and their designs took my breath away, I was so proud of what my buddies had accomplished and how creative and exquisite their collection was, check them out...

 Love the pants..I would totally wear them. The vertical stripes would enhance my silohuette, just thinking out loud...

 I want this jacket.... #thatisall!

 The puffed shoulders caught my eye in this ensemble...love!

 This suit had to be my favourite of the mens' collection..I love how the color is vibrant and the suit fits just right!

 My favourite piece of the ladies collection...love the mixture of patterns and colors, so haute!

 Zeddy and Sidney the two designers behind Blackbird Designs....

 The styling was well done I might add, not to shabby not to extra haute if you know what I mean.

 I'm so proud of my two friends, they have finally achieved their dream and it only starts here, I'm sure they'll be more to come in the future.
