#ANYFW- FIKTRE ADDIS

This is another designer from Ethiopia, obviously from the name Addis we can get the origin of the design. Anyway it seems that the theme was unanimously of a fairytale nature because the designs were mostly of off shoulder pieces that come as romantic and elegant. The fabric used was also light in nature that sort of reminded me of lace and the color palette was of soft earthly tones, love it!

Some aspects of velvet was also used in this collection with exquisite beadwork and embellishments on the various pieces. I guess velvet is a trend on the African runway huh? Do you like it? 
Overall I thought the collection exuded an Arabian feel, the light fabric used, the make up, Aladdin pants as I would like to call them...GO AFRICA!

AFRICAN NEW YORK FASHION WEEK- SYL ANIM

I'm still on the African New York Fashion Week vibe, why? Well because most of the designs were phenomenal and Africa has got talent more than they are given credit for. This post will focus on a designer from Cameroon. Her designs consisted of lots of bead work and velvet fabric, velvet has always been considered to exude sex appeal or elegance and Syl did that with her collection. Here are some of my favourite picks....

 The collection had a sort of fairytale theme to it, more like an African fairytale and can you see the extent of the detailing that Syl has on her pieces, they are magnificent and I appreciate good handiwork when I see it. 

 The designer herself, Syl Amin....GO AFRICA!
