cool pics from Converse SA's Optimistic Rebels
6 months ago Converse South Africa launched their Optimistic Rebels Film Festival competition!
'Optimistic Rebels' is about discovering extremely gifted young artists with that uncanny, almost scary yet charming DNA of an optimistic rebel. These rebels epitomise the Converse spirit, they don't wait for fate to interpret their dreams - they fight it out to see their dreams come alive in their awoken hour.
Now check out the great pictures from the parties that have been going on! Volume 7 out now on their Facbeook Page. Cool hair do's & cool shoes making a statement!

Camer Couture 2010
I missed this year's Camer Couture fashion show in London for many reasons that will not be of interest to you but I have managed to take a look at the designers that were featured at the event and one stands out! Martial Tapolo, Cameroonian born & based in Paris. His signature style features feathers and lace and is Haute Couture in every sense!

Jewel by Lisa is fast becoming a fashion favourite for R&B rockstar Kelis!
Featured on BET wearing the ‘Frou Frou’ skirt from the newly launched diffusion JbyLisa collection. Also seen wearing the NY SS2010 Mustard Martian print wrap dress in London on Channel 4's T4 on the beach! Kelis recently stated that she’s working a tribal/ethnic inspired look this season, as she promotes her new album; its no wonder she’s chosen Jewel By Lisa as her go to brand!
Love her amazing fashion forward style and salute her contribution in putting African fashion on the map! Lets hope it lasts beyond this season...

Visual Perception
"Sometimes an image tells many stories. I love this one and every time I look at it, I get a whole new story. Sometimes the story is in her face, other times it's in her eyes, in the light, her hair, the flower, in the dress, the colour of her lips, but more often its in the memories of that day!" - Africa Fashion Weekend Dublin 2010.

faces of life 11 May 1981
The faces of questions, happiness, sadness and life as it is. We come and go but we all leave something behind. Remember these faces. They are who we are.

The bright cotton 'kangas' are what we call the 'african material' which we use for everything - from sarongs to carrying babies! If you have one you are in great luck. In 2010 the 'kanga' has had a high fashion reinvention - coming in high waisted skirts, maxi dresses, bags, hair bands plus more+ From Marc Jacobs to Louis Vuitton collections, these ranges will be available near you sooner than you think. Swap your safe block colours for the daring multicoloured African trends. Where to get these? - besides the usual shops, the Africa Fashion Weekend Dublin 2010 is bringing it all to you (2nd - 4th April 2010).

ms mi (My Sister Made It)
When I first came across the Ms Mi collection in London last year at the fab Camer Couture, I couldn't believe she had only been doing this as a hobby! Her designs combine African wax prints with leather, linen, chiffon and silk to create chic, directional garments that translate from day to evening including glamorous red-carpet-inspired Maxis.
For more on her collection - she will be live at the AFWDublin 2010 from April 2nd - 4th.
