Photo Speak: Vlisco Jumping Horse Design

I love everything about this photograph - the elegance of the entire look is just so soothing. I love the contrasting fabrics, the design, makeup, the styling, and the model. The surreal ambiance is also a big plus...Vlisco knows how to make creatively beautiful campaigns that sends a jolt of excitement. 

Hommage à l’Art by Vlisco

I've been procrastinating on writing this post just because I thought I’d need a special moment/period to do – review and revel – in the beauty of this yet amazing, outstanding and breathtaking editorial by (if I may say again) my favourite and leading fabric brand – VLISCO.

Vlisco is beyond fabulous, like I always say they have an amazingly brilliant team that come up with fantastic creative ideas such seen here and lots more; they also proof to be the leader with the numerous costumer relations opportunities they create almost every month.

Not to ramble this time, I believe the brand just speak for itself; bold, feminine, conservative yet versatile, classy, African, contemporary, elegant amongst lots more!

Perfect Patterns + Lavishing Layers = Vlisco 'Jeu de Couleurs' Campaign

Honestly, I don’t think I keep up with my personal life as much as I keep up with Vlisco’s always charming campaigns – I mean, why would I have the website bookmarked and also make it on the list of my must check websites in a week?

 As in, why not? I love the brand!

Vlisco is an amazing brand that I’m almost sure is occupied with equally brilliant people as the designs created. Yet another stunning campaign – ‘Jeu de Couleurs’ (which I discovered means 'Colours Game') of photos I already in the folder of my laptop’s ‘Screen Saver’, I love the concept, the design and the way maximum control put into the ambiance set for the story. Seriously, nothing like this comes from simple minds, they have a great team – one I wish I could be a part of considering my dear love for fashion and especially campaigns.

Dynamically Designed Delight : Vlisco Celebrates New Collection With 'Parade of Charm' Campaign

For a while now, Vlisco has been one of few things, brands that's been adding good value to me. Specifically three months going now, Vlisco has been revealing some remarkably chizzy campaigns that deserve big applause.

First, I said it's got to be the stylist, or the creative director or perhaps the brand manager but hey a successful project/brand means a fantastic team - so, to the wonderful team at Vlisco I say, "Great job, please keep it up"! 

Frankly, I'd like to say, Vlisco campaigns are fan-ta-bu-lous!!! 

Review follows after the break.

"Bicycle Thieves" - The Vlisco Jenz Collection by Kinabuti

Loosely Japanese shapes are an undercurrent to the season that recurred at the LFDW shows. Kinabuti’s ‘Bicycle Thieves’, a collection inspired by the simplicity of the countryside, rustic landscapes, rainbows, lushness of green vegetation, les beaux jours and nature in all its unbridled splendor featured lots of wrap-overs, high-crow necklines, waist-clinging shirts and fluid kimono pants that is the signature of the brand returns in darkly monochrome shades and influential Vlisco fabrics.

The collection is a melting pot of vibrant colours and choice fabrics, ranging from the deluxe Vlisco range, with a fuse of jerseys, soft linens, and a climax of denim. The pieces in this collection can easily fit into the wardrobe of the upwardly mobile, fashionable, yet suitable for easy going clients as it is a collection built around the versatility of personalities with a charming mix of softness and a blend of edginess.

The Funky Grooves collection draws from Vlisco’s proud history, inspired by global urban culture and couture craftsmanship. It’s a collection of contrasts, with edgy street wear influences reinterpreted through a lens of pure glamour. The new collection is a melting pot of ideas, using new colours to update Vlisco’s heritage designs, and classic Vlisco techniques to create new looks.

The collection’s colours range from earthy browns, brassy golds and bronzes, to brick reds and shocking pinks, and fresh acid blues and greens. It all comes together in the Funky Grooves collection, for a look that is bold, punky and original, yet feminine and effortlessly easy to wear.

The new Funky Grooves fabrics will also form part of a fashion & accessories collection, which will be available at selected Vlisco boutiques from August 2012.

Behold the Silent Empire

Behold the hidden secrets of the new Vlisco fabric collection named Silent Empire.



The drama of a frozen opera with a touch of blossoming wit reveals spiritual ambiguity. A restrained yet ceremonious composition of graphic shapes further emphasises a sense of a serene stratification. The layering of details in patterns creates a cultured perception of the designs. The boldness of the designs is tempered by a colour palette dominated by muted earthy tones and alternating with intense shades of blue and lime to create an eye-catching twist.
