MODChic Couture

Ebele Iloanya’s 2009 collection echoes simple yet stylish everyday wear. Each piece is tailored for women who want to be feminine yet comfortable in clothes. Made from vibrant colours and the finest fabrics, this collection is a must have for every women. I love the basic crisp white shirt dress and how effortless it looks with a brown belt. Another favourite is the purple dress so cute and stylish.

House of Dione Mauve

Welcome to the House of Dione Mauve where clothes are full of Afro-modernity and invades the world with African culture.  The Concord collection is a reflection of harmony within an individual and gives the idea that each person has to be in tune with not only the external environment, but the internal aspects of emotions, ideas and aspirations.  A favourite of mine is the asymmetrical dresses made from African fabrics and wooden button detailing and the bib dress perfect for those summer days.

Iman to Launch Home Collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

Partnering with PK Lifestyles, supermodel Iman (yes she’s a super, because she has business ventures that go beyond modeling) will launch a home goods collection entitled, Iman Home, later this month. Before that unspecified date arrives though, Iman will preview her new collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center next week.

Using new fabrics from her collection, Iman, along with design consultant Carlos Mota, designed the VIP tents for the event.

“Since I stopped modeling, got married and had a daughter, home has become a passion of mine,” she told WWD. “The gods of the interior decoration must have been looking down on me, because all of a sudden, here was this great opportunity to create the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge.”

Anita Quansah 2010-2011 Collections

Anita Quansah London is a designer from London who produces eclectic, stylish and expressive one-off pieces of clothing and neckpieces. She studied textile design in Chelsea College of Art and Design London and since graduating, she has been working with recycled textiles to create original pieces. With the knowledge and inspiration gained, she is also working on a collection of jewellery that is a bit of bohemian tribal fused with effortless chic with a modern twist. She is inspired by her passion for creativity, travel (Africa), nature, art, architecture, fashion (contemporary and vintage), and music of past and present generation. She has been involved with the fashion industry, collaborating and creating unique embroidered textile pieces for some of the leading textile and fashion design houses such as Christian Lacroix, DKNY, Diane Von Furstenberg, Ischiko, Victoria Secret, Ecko and textiles Weisbrod Zurrer and Sandy Starkman. 2004 saw her do a collaboration with Christian Lacroix, designing and embroidering a jacket which featured on the runway for the Haute Couture show. What some might discard, Anita discovers in flea markets, charity and vintage shops and uses the reclaimed garments and textiles to create ingenious handmade creations that are nature and culture inspired. Each intricate piece is deconstructed and meticulously fused together into textural, innovative, and colourful abstract pieces by using a wide range of textile techniques and embroidery as a mode of painting with texture on the garment. Anita’s pieces are truly a work of timeless wearable art and I am pleased to be able to introduce you to this wonderful talent.

Casely Hayford 2010 Spring Summer Collection

The father and son duo Joe and Charlie Casely-Hayford, latest collection is directly inspired by the Dalston neighborhood of East London. Casely-Hayford HQ is on Kingsland Road, right at the very heart of Dalston, so it only makes sense that they christened the new collection Kings of King’s Land. There’s everything from English Wedgwood flourishes to Ottoman prints to African stylings for spring 2010, and this pick-a-mix of references comes together in a way that we can only describe as stylistically invigorating and damn near flawless.
