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!

Deola Sagoe Throws Back at the Future with 'KOMOLE' 2013

I love this collection, it's really Komole just like in the 60's. Reminds me of those old photos of my parents except the styling here is different. 

See; instead of the huge head styles or head gears, here the models adorn a rather more modern look almost as seen in Mad Men (on the women now); instead of the very big chunky heels, wedges worn then, here the models were very chic shoes ; lastly rather than double layers wrappers or heavy fabric, the fabric here is simple yet classic, vintage yet modern, cool yet mature, looking back yet fashion forward.

Each look is a perfect representation of future inspired vintage love of African fashion sense even in a very conventional way...It's beautiful, and graceful in a way.

With the right styling and accessorizing, each piece in this collection can be well dressed up for any occasion. Yes, from formal, corporate, casual, glam, 'Komole' can be rocked!

With wonderful photography impact by Kelechi Amadi-Obi and beautiful styling by the lovely Ifeoma Williams, this collection brings back the long desired sweetness of master designer and inspiration, Deola Sagoe.

Christian Wijnants Wins International Woolmark Prize 2013

Congratulation to Belgian designer Christian Wijnants who was recently announced winner of the 2013 International Woolmark Prize.

 His capsule Merino wool collection was inspired by a single white yarn, exploring its full potential; one type of yarn in 100 percent Merino wool was used to create the seamless garments. A panel of judges including Victoria Beckham, Donatella Versace, Diane von Furstenberg, Franca Sozzani and Tim Blanks, selected Christian from runners up Pankaj & Nidhi (India), Dion Lee (Australia), Sophie Theallet (USA) and Ban Xiao Xue (China). He receives a monetary prize of $100k as well as the opportunity to have the winning collection sold in top boutiques worldwide including Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols, 10 Corso Como, Joyce and Eickhoff...yay superb!!


Didn't know much about International Woolmark Prize till I visited the website - HERE then I was wow!

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.
