Ghanian Fashion label, Love April, releases it's Lookbook

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'.

Trine Lindegaard collection these days always tells a story and manages to highlight a cause and it's not so hard to see that this time she is proselytizing freedom and love through her designs. It's a wonderful casual collection for those who love to stay true to their roots while still passing a message across and feeling comfortable, all at once.

Caring for your suit the right way

Owning a nice pair of suit is certainly a good investment as far as one's image is concerned. The confidence and good looks it imparts on the wearer is certainly something we enjoy to watch.

That said, it goes without saying that utmost care must be taken when it comes to caring for our suit.

We would want to ensure that we, therefore, adopt best practices when it comes to suit care.
