All good anthropologists will agree that it all began in Africa. From this bountiful continent, the world has been treated to jewels, trade and cultures that have kept the photo journalists and travelers open-mouthed for centuries. It should be no surprise that we should also turn to Africa for our inspiration. When Yves Saint Laurent wanted new ideas, he retreated to Morocco and from these journeys, he boldly took the fashion world by storm, not only with his masculine take on the feminine jackets (think Bianca Jagger in that white pantsuit) and but also with the bold colours that have made the house of Saint Laurent the legend that it now is…
Allow us then to add something from the creative melting pot, namely a designer we stumbled upon through kisua.com. The line is called Kiki Kamanu, named after the designer herself. A former Ford model, she is no stranger to fashion and trail-blazes her way across the global catwalks with her feminine and very African designs, using top-notch materials with a modern spin.
From her collaboration with Kisua, we love three pieces:
The kimono wrap jacket, selling at 250 dollars, the leopard print maxi dress (195 dollars) and the high waisted flared skirt (155 dollars).
The kimono jacket will take you from board meeting to cocktails in the evening and the maxi dress is the perfect holiday dress, so pack it into your suitcase and be sexy without showing too much skin…and the skirt is for the little girl in you who loves the playfulness of the high waist and the bold colours to turn a few heads as well.
All pieces are available through kisua.com under this link:
