Canadian Black Brands

Canada has an abundance of gifted and talented people.  Among them are Black Canadian fashion designers with vibrant brands that I think are on par with the top fashion designers in North America.  I can say these designers are very inspired!  For me, any apparel with a futuristic look already has my attention.  And I have to say all these silhouettes have succeeded in doing that!

I now have three more designers of Black heritage to add to my rostrum of favorite clothing designers:  Andrea Iyamah, Stacey Martin and Israella Kobla.

I'm curious to know which outfit is your favorite.  Honestly, I can't pick just one.  

Have a good day!

Hey, It's Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day!  I'm sure most of you have a husband to celebrate with.  For those of you who don't, treat yourself today anyway.  Buy yourself flowers or chocolates because your worth it!  

I found some lovely dresses online that I would wear myself this day or any other day.

More to Denim than Just Jeans

Denim for generations has been associated mainly with making pants.  It's been very reliable, comfortable, casual,  and everyone, well, almost everyone, well, almost everyone has a pair in their closet.                                                                                                                                                                   

I believe years ago I posted a blog on denim.  I, today, was looking at fashion online and came across a jumper dress/gown in denim that caught my eye.  More searching and I'm very impressed with what sewers and designers have made with this hardy fabric.  I want to know why we don't see more people wearing these clever and artistic garments.  Maybe I need to be an example and design and wear an innovative denim piece....
