Meet Designer - FARAI SIMOYI

I love Simoyi's Desert Oasis collection recently showcased at the NYFW Spring 2012 & this is my favourite look! It's great to see this kind of growth in a designer and hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Full presentation

MÁDE IN ÅFRICA - Arise Magazine #NYFW Spring 2012

NYFW also celebrates Africa designers and brings to light the work of some of the most talented designers in the world. The Arise Magazine show delivered a sizzling show yesterday featuring Jewel By Lisa, Kluk CGDT, Lanre Da Silva, Asibelua, Bunmi Koko, Pierre-Antoine Vettorello & Tsemaye Binitie. I must say I was looking forward to Jewel By Lisa and also had high expectations for the Kluk CGDT collection.

I wasn't disappointed at all. Below are my favourite pieces from the whole show. There were a few surprise designers whose work I wasn't familiar with. Again, would love to have these guys on this side of the world. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Proudly African indeed! Watch the show here.

Fashion's Night Outs - Solange Knowels @ Lord & Taylor, NYC

Probably one of the most fun nights out for me here in NY. Soho was buzzing with ladies & gents dressed to impress everywhere. Had it not been for the Afro hair salon I was searching for, I would have totally gotten with the crowds.

Outside DASH it was insane so I just had to walk past. Later saw Solange Knowels DJ'ng at Lord & Taylor.
