BRAND FOCUS: Tina Lobondi
Whatever your style or tradition at Christmas time, one thing is for certain: It is the perfect reason to invest in a new outfit, am I right ladies? For this set of recommendations, I’m joined by the extremely talented and stylish Yolanta. We’ve put together, three outfits for Africa Fashion’s new ‘Threads Around the Web’ series. We’ve gone for smart casual, classic and bold.
With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve selected some intriguing items to add to your wardrobe and consolidate your Christmas outfit in diverse and distinctive styles, that will hopefully spark outfit ideas for you.
The series is intended to give focus on small unique independent shops, designers and creative artisans who sell products related to Africa or Made in Africa. By nature of the smaller manufacturing process, some of these items might only be available in limited quantities or ‘made to order’. That said, we also mix & match the sets with stylish products from the bigger players in the fashion world – to inspire you to switch it up in the holiday season.
