It's becoming the 'go to' print for summer, bright, bold, mostly african prints. The print has been labeled by the industry as 'ethnic'. last year a few celebrities (such as Kelis, Beyonce & solange) were working the trend, the brand Boxing Kitten has a big celebrity following but the look has also been seen on the catwalk for 2011 at L.A.M.B and Oscar De la renta.
although african fabric is hardly a new thing!!(not going to take it there!) i'm glad it is getting the recoginition and reincarnation, i'm loving the new shapes and styles (batik brogues anyone!)
I seems the look is here to stay! yay!
i'm on the hunt for a pair of african print shorts......
have you been rocking the look?
It's about damn time,it's waaaay over do...But I guess if celebrities giving that style there props then I guess it's ok.

I really like the idea of using more African prints. Have you ever seen the work of Yinka Shonibare? He was the first to allow me to see African prints used in some crazy amazing ways. He's not a fashion designer, but he created lovely rococo and victorian outfits in African prints. Check him out.

hey! i would love to also rock this fashion but are there more cheap stores where i can't get these type of clothes in london?
ReplyDeleteI love ethnic prints, especially paired with something much plainer and more neutral, it makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteI love african print, it's so beautifull. And thanks for sharing the sites, i already bought a dress and a skirt there. :)
