Old Meets New - African Print Fashion

African fabrics, traditionally draped and tied to be worn in the past, have, for some time, been transformed into many clothing silhouettes.  The bright colors, intricate patterns and geometric shapes on clothe have gained popularity throughout the world since 2010.  I must say, the combination of traditional African prints and current clothes are a lively and wonderful combination.

Some Favorite Looks

 I haven't been posting for a while, have I?  Other things have occupied my time, but now I'm glad to be posting more fashion pics this week.

I found some nice metallic look dresses, lovely combinations including leather pieces,  as well as a spectacular print outfit.  Just wanted to share.

I just have to mention that I'm very glad that Vogue Magazine used a mature model to present two pieces from a top designer's collection.  We need to see more mature models.  Till next blog!
