The collection had a tunic style in the dresses, which is sweet and ladylike and you will be glad to have such pretty clothes stashed in your wardrobe.The clothes are really pretty in the geometric and flowing cuts . This clothes speaks of fun and seriousness and women will be taken style seriously in this.

Etro - Spring/Summer 2014 Collection 'MFW' (@MyEtroSale)




This ready to wear collection marvelously played on prints which got themselves in red, pale pink, blue and sandy yellow. Beautiful prints were the order of the day played with paisley a signature, long silk dresses with a grown-up hippy-vibe with coats and jackets to match tailored to perfection. The prints were cornflower prints embellished, with beaded paisleys looked luxuriously beautiful in a palette of sandy yellow and tan, red and mint green. It later played down on elegance with trousers pulled in to string waists and scarves draped around the neck with beaded fringes.
The show was the perfect representation of this tack "Sunset people, night after night, doing it right" Check it out and fall for the prints.


African Fashion meets Chinese Culture! Eki Orleans unveils its Spring/Summer 2014 Collection – A Slice of Africa




Eki Orleans is out with its Spring/Summer 2014 collection titled A Slice of Africa.

With this collection the designer presents a sublime visual discourse on the African continent and its relationship with China. The collection has been described as the labels reaction to the growing Chinese investment in Africa; a symbolic representation of the harmonious fusion between the two cultures.

Fusing inspiration from both China and Africa, the collections pieces have prints inspired by African cultural imagery and the other prints with Chinese design elements.

Eki Orleans suggests that the intersection of African and Chinese culture can create something that is beautiful, chic and sophisticated. The designer – Hazel Aggrey-Orleans - elaborated that “With the African-inspired print, I wanted a design that creates the illusion of rows and rows of market stalls and the resulting electricity and energy found in traditional African markets. With the Chinese-inspired print, I was drawn by the beauty of traditional Chinese floral vases.“

Staying true to the Eki Orleans aesthetic, the collection features light dresses in flattering silhouettes in a breath-taking yellow and lime colour palette.

Feminine Fashion for Spring 2014! Nigerian Design



The Spring/Summer 2014 collections keep rolling in! Today we are taking a look at the lookbook for Nigerian fashion designer Weiz Dhurm Franklyn‘s Spring/Summer 2014 collection for women.

The designer, Wisdom Franklyn, describes the collection as soft and having structured, crafted and humble fabrics. “The collection represents high fashion, femininity and a very sensual physical & pre-dominant power. The silhouette is waist-ed and predominantly very evident. Jackets and dresses have apron necklines while some has the canoe necklines. The Weiz Dhurm Franklyn signature stays evident in the masochist gown with buckles, the exaggerated structural jacket and high detail of craftsmanship evident in all pieces.”

I love a lot of pieces in the collection, although I don’t think I would rock this for Summer. What do you think? Don’t forget to share your thoughts.

bit. The collection started with a faded film-still prints on strapless and

Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner Hack Sister Kylie's Twitter Account


Kylie Jenner learned an important lesson from her family this week: never leave your Twitter unattended.
The young Keeping Up With the Kardashians star had her account hacked by (thankfully) her own two older sisters, Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, late Sunday night after she left the social networking site up and running on her laptop.

Here were the NSFW messages tweeted out to Kylie's 4.6 million followers (caution: explicit language ahead):

WOOLWORTHS FASHION CONVO

Recently I attended the Woolworths Fashion Convo held at the Woolworths store in Tyger Valley CapeTown.
The store was transformed into a fashion studio with a runway and amazing garments on all the mannequins.

The Fashion Convo was all about the Spring/Summer trends with a fashion show while the ever so fab Bonang Matheba, Danielle Weakley from Grazia and Woolworths trend forecaster Alison Page gave us some tips on the latest trends for the season. Denim on denim, black and white, prints and white on white which are all of my favourite trends!

We enjoyed champers, delicious canapes and sweet treats while shopping up a storm.

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014: Maki Oh



For her debut at the New York Fashion Week 2013, Nigerian designer Maki  of Maki Oh told a progressive story about the ‘woman’.
Her Spring/Summer 2014 collection was centered on the many roles a woman plays through out her life and adds an artistic edge to each piece to give a voice to each role. From the athlete to the cook, we see the models portray different roles as they pose in the couture.
The pieces range from apron inspired dresses, jersey shirts and dresses, sheer tops with puffed sleeves and little square hats (a personal favourite).
Maki Oh has never been known to showcase the ‘expected’ and I am glad I can see that here. I like her use of soft fabrics and the slightly ethereal look of the pieces that prompts a subtle impact of each piece. In totality I think she pulled together a great collection. What do you think?

I am all about living in the moment and and looking good doing it, life is way to short look boring and not have fun with your wardrobe and your make up

Zimbabwe Fashion Week 2013: Zvzorzi Abdy Spring/Summer 2014





We are back to checking out our favorite collections from the Zimbabwe Fashion Week 2013. Now, let’s take a look at the ‘siniter’ looking Spring/Summer collection from Zvzorzi Abdy.

The collection was themed with purple and white and of course it wouldn’t be a “Spring” collection if floral prints weren’t present. Filled with full and knee length dresses, trousers with cut out designs and blazers, the designer presented his collection with a sinister theme. The models walked the runway with knives and painted faces.

I loved a lot of the pieces especially the jackets. Take a look at the collection and don’t forget to share what you thought of the collection with us.
