New York! Thats what dreams are made of! - L.A.M.B

L.A.M.B Spring & Fall 2010 by the amazing fashionasta Gwen Stefani
Showing at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Stefani's collection featured Black, White & Asian models. A healthy mix of people we think. Ranging from maxi dresses to the African print, L.A.M.B is a definite favourite. Particulary love the 'grey, blue & orange sunset' backgrounds.


Also interesting @ the JoBurg Fashion Week - Abigail Betz & Avant

Abigail Bezts - winning soft & elegant designs


Avant - sexy blacks


Avant - sophistication and the shoulder pads are still in so!

JoBurg Fashion Week - David Tlale style

Nelson Mandela Bridge Catwalk
David Tlale turned the Nelson Mandela bridge in to a catwalk spectacular at the weekend to showcase his Autumn/ Winter 2011 collection - at the JoBurg Fashion Week. This was a spectacular collection of 92 looks, each representing a year in the life of Madiba Nelson Mandela. The most anticipated collection featured checkered fabrics & chiffon. The colours of the collection were red, black & white - this telling a story of its own.

Designer : Gloria Wavamunno

Love the jacket, Gloria Wavamunno 2010/2011 Spring/Summer Collection. Maybe the sharp shoulders are a few seasons old but it looks like one that can last through time. I happen to have a bright yellow jacket like this and hope I can get away with wearing it for a good few more years...

Ghubar Issue N°24 - hide it, tease me

Febraury is the month of love. Ghubar Issue N°24 is out.
Am reading through Absatou Ndiaye's article 'Hide it, Tease me' & I realise I have lost all mystery that I ever had! Not sure how to regain though... hmmmm. Loving Chichia London's mix & match collection and hope to have the pleasure of featuring her collection at the next Africa Fashion Weekend Dublin. Read Ghubar here.

tolula

I have been meaning to write a little something about Tolula for a while but just never had the chance to. So finally here it is. I wont pretend I know much about her but I have been following her tweets and know that she is a model and a budding actress. She has such a lovley smile and full of life. I love her fashion sense of course (see it here) and hope she does super well in her work. She is currently working on a short mockumentary and hope to hear about it upon its release.

beautiful golden long legs

take what you may from this picture. I won't spoil it with meaningless words. if our opinions of it are not the same, that's ok too.
