DAVID TLALE: MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK S/S15 COLLECTIONS

Never too late to say CONGRATULATIONS to David Tlale for creating yet another STORM of a collection and of course generating the well deserved publicity (great PR agency btw!) after last year's saga with People's Revolution!

Loving the #African & #English/Victorian influence on the collection. Great colours, prints and textures!

Lupita Nyong'o @ the Oscars

The moment you realise dreams do come true, is the moment all doubt is cast aside. You take it in your stride, and show the world what a true champ you are. You don't lose sight of those that have brought you along the way, those that changed your life with or without knowing it. You give something back.

2014

Each year we make promises. To be better at everything we do, to post blogs twice a week, to be more healthy than yesterday, to save more money, to travel the world, to live life in full. Each year we renew the unfulfilled dreams and never look back. So here is to another year, just don't look back!

DENT de MAN

A little •OBSESSED• with this label, in particular this 70's African print material!
#LOVE the striking presence it has and how one definitely needs a set* to spot this look. 
From Labrinth to Robert Sheehan, some men have dared.

the Africans they [media] never show you.

I have had a beautiful weekend of total inspiration from the original source of all inspirations, mother Africa herself. I am inspired by the next generation of fully charged, fully knowing, fully equipped young African women & men who are living in the now and creating success for themselves.

Ignorance is bliss [not always]. It's true that the media has tended to focus on the not so positive aspects of Africa, so much that the beautiful things that are happening are furthest away from one's mind. Social Media is connecting these dots. There is an evolution happening [in Africa] that is not really spoken of.

I have always listed Africa & Fashion as my love and inspiration for this blog & all things I do, today I am also carving out the names of those Africans who don't see boundaries or limitations when striving for their dreams. I am adding those that have lived the life I dream to be comfortable living and the world around gets comfortable seeing. Names of young women, older women, of colour [or not]. I am inspired by African Fashion icons, musicians, families of all colour and I realise life is for living, it certainly isn't a rehearsal!

The next blog post will feature the Africans they never show you.... the African icons.

it's faces like these.
