Love April, an emerging African Fashion label from Ghana has released its lookbook titled 'Over-sized Tribalism'. The design label which is headed by Nina Barkers-Woode, has this to say about the collection:
"Our motive was to not only harness the Barkers-Woode woman’s natural female form through dramatic tribal prints but to also uniquely contemporize the look and feel of each piece. Inspired by the world history generations of women and androgyny artworks, the Oversized Tribalism collection plays on the mixture of minimalism and femininity.Our exaggerated seam-lines emphasis our cling to modern culture. Our true, bare, chic necklines keep us in the realm of ancients. Our abstracted textured prints will ultimately immortalize the classic style and feel of a woman."
I completely love all the pants in this collection but my fave is definitely the graphic jumpsuit; I love the form, the design and from the little I can see from the image, it looks well tailored. I would have preferred it in a brighter colour tho'.

ReplyDeleteWhy d girl standin so straight
ReplyDeleteI'll assume it is an instruction from the stylist. Usually, for a lookbook, the intention is for the focus to be on the piece on display rather than on any other thing else.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, the pose, hair do, make up etc must not be too distracting to take away one's attention from focusing on the design, cut and every other thing that makes the clothing item on display unique.
