Out Of Africa

4/8/2013

What could be more exotic than the prints coming our way from the African continent? A mere look at the vibrant colours and we are transported to balmy nights under a heavenly starry night and during the day, we are embraced by the sunny climes that have inspired fashion designers from day one. We only need to think back to Yves Saint Laurent’s love affair with Morocco and how Africa always managed to inspire not only his colour palette, but also the billowy evening gowns.

Please take note of the following picture, taken at a booth at Premium Fashion fair. We loved the mix of African and continental Europe: the printed skirt, worn with chunky rings, a mannish blouse, tucked in at the waist and then ultra-white platforms!

While researching African prints, we came across a fantastic blog called African prints in fashion run by blogger Ms K who is based in Brooklyn, New York (having formerly  lived in Germany).  Our fashion find is definitely this skirt from etsy.com and you can find it under this link: http://www.etsy.com/de/listing/128007982/african-print-skirt?ref=related-2
