Feast your eyes on Adidas new collection, Africa has not only stolen the hearts of big names like Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs but their latest catch is Adidas footwear, there are no limits! Africa goes international and im loving it........for all my Africans put your fist in the air for prosperity and for forward movement! Created using the well known Vlisco materials, im loving the sound of this. The Adidas Gazelle is the base model.....feed on....... you gotta love it!
Glad to see global culture attempting non-Western influences. Do wonder however, how much the workers who made that were paid and under what conditions??? Good post tho'
I love the fact that african material is recognised, and seen as fashionable rather than for tribal wear. however, i do not understand the prices of a dress made with ankara , going for £569 pounds, is the thread made out of gold. Regarding, this blog, its really interesting , waiting to read new materials. Own It.x
I so agree ladies! But i also do hear you on why on earth should a fabric that could have cost probably around £25 go for much more after a couple of stitches. But someone is buying it so you cant knock the hustle!
Science reports show I am unable to be cloned! Currently in the Lab cooking up something befitting of Extraordinaire! Open Diary/Live Magazine of a Former Fashion PR Junior Account Executive, Fashion Designer, writer, Visionarian (Imagery), creative director and innovator. I don't necessarily write on what's in trend & in magazines, (Fashion should be personal not commercial) I write about what beats my drum/s, which usually is art, photography, fashion, culture, music and style....this is RAW, virgin, chemically unprocessed fashion, creativity on a platter! Call me deviant but CONFORMITY IS A JAILER!
I Aim: To continuously recreate creativity!

Women's daily prayer: "Armani, which art in Hermes, hallowed be thy Gucci. Thy Cartier watch, thy Prada bag, on Rodeo, as it is in Tiffany's. Give us this day our Gold MasterCard and forgive us our overdraft as we forgive those who decline our Visa, lead us not into Top Shop and deliver us from Primark. And to pay for it all..., this we ask on this day ...Ah MEN!".....lol

Fashion is not about utility, an accessory is merely a piece of iconography used to express individual identity.
Proverbs
Fashion should be personal and not according to 'trends', it should be a true representation of who you are!
