I've been meaning to blog about this for ages ...contemporaray african clothing !
a style that goes on forever... In light of this summer trend with mix prints, I think the use of various african batik style prints give a twist and elegant way of doing this trend without looking to much like one has gone through one too many charity shops :/
Sika Design is one of my favourites, advertised in glossy such as Vogue & Grazia i may have mentioned on daily site Rubinubi Splendia about her before.All her clothing handmade in Ghana, I purchased a shirt of hers which has certainly stood the test of time..
She has an online boutique which contain adorable african cloth dress, skirts and shirts. What is distinctive about her clothing are that they excellently executed, has great tailoring and fierce contemporary design. Outfits that can be worn in day and take you to the evening.
