Tsemaye Binitie SS2011 Collection

The collection takes a multi-dimensional perspective masked in modernity; in this collection we see sharp tailoring with, demure sophistication. Tsemaye presents a worthy selection of slightly futurist styles which embody structured figure hugging garments. The collection definitely has his personal imprint on it, the pieces align to what we have come to discover as his point of view as a designer. He has always had strong use of color and with this he goes from nudes to hints of pastels and ends with black resounding. The dresses go from Body con to baby dolland possess a kind of grown up quality to them. Tsemaye knows how to make a woman feel like a woman. What Shadders loves most about this collection is the fact that, although it has glamorous touch to it, the outfit also have a street/edgy twist to it.
