GHANAFEST 2007 !!!!!!!!!!


I can’t believe today was Ghana Fest fashion evening, this just shows how quickly time just fly’s by!!!!!!! I arrived at the Rich Mix cinema at 9am and waited for the remaining models being provided by Finger Print model management. Our choreographer for the day was the lovely Amelie Lafond.

About Ghanafest:

GhanaFest Fashion Evening is London’s first fashion show dedicated to African female designers. A unique couture show with an African twist, the evening will displayed an array of high fashion garments from the contemporary fashion scene, combined with innovative African inspired designs. The collections being showcased included womenswear and menswear of spring /summer 2008. Overall the event received a great reception from the press and attendees with continuous applauds as each designer showcased their AMAZING creations!! I was shattered by the end of the show and was craving for one of those Brick Lane Bagels :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below are some backstage pics from the show, more will be posted shortly! Xx

AMAZING CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN FASHIONS!!

I went to an amazing wedding today!! I had to be up at 7am as the wedding was a morning service. I could not decide on which eye colour i should apply but wanted a colour that complimented my purple top and green skirt (lol).

Trying to work out which eye colour to apply!!

At the wedding I totally fell in love the dresses and Zulu hats the bridesmaids were sporting. The bride was from Zimbabwe so the ensembles worn by her bridesmaids were influenced by South African Couture and designs.

I really think I’m going to get one made (he, he) I was just amazed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
