Over to Connie…
Whether you’re a Fashionista or a Stylista, after distinctive looks to wear your way, you will know that prints are IN. In reality, prints are never really out – but in the summer sun, where bright colours really pop, they are even more appealing! This paves the way to introduce some African fashion prints into your wardrobe.
Looking at some of the world’s top creative houses, it seems that Burberry, Zara and Ted Baker are all inducting African inspired looks into their collections. The design teams have obviously all been stimulated by the motherland.
I’ve chosen to look at a niche designer who weaves the modern with traditional print: Midget Giraffe.
Based in New Jersey, Midget Giraffe’s clothes are full of jaw dropping prints, cut into modern shapes and tailored for that chic look. I’m absolutely loving their ‘Amaka’ dress and maybe it’s one for you too?
Featured in three different prints, with revealing cut outs and a short skater line style, this dress is sure to be a spring and summer favourite. I’ve Paired with nude heels or mules and a leather jacket to create the perfect bricolage of culture and modern dressing.
