Now Playing: ‘Wine & chocolates’ – Theophilus London.

(Sips vitamin water)

It’s been a while since I’ve written a personal note for you. I’ve been busy – getting inspired & shit. Exams are coming up in a few days (so this will be my last post till the 2^nd of December) but I might just post the “Behind the scenes” of the Seventeen Magazine December issue (because yours truly, shall be in it).

Recently my amazing friends bought me a book – “Fashion Now 2” by Taschen. I-D selects 160 of it’s favourite designers from around the world. It even has the contact details of the designers & photographers. Like, informative much? I love it! It’s an extensive, complete, well written encyclopedia of who’s who in 

fashion today.

Besides the torture of exams, I’m super amped for my Design practical. I’ll be making a jump-suit with tribal, vibrant, eclectic fabric - very much inspired by Boxing Kitten. It’s going to look epic.

I can’t wait for the holidays – BEACH VIBES. I will be rocking my John Lennon sunglasses with my Mick Jagger & Lisa Bonet inspired outfits. My pigeon and I shall be going all out (full force bitches) just for you reader! Don’t be a stranger to the blog while I’m gone, take care of him for me please? Thanks.

Bye for now!

Punch-my-pussy!

Boxing Kitten.

Both playful and audacious, equal part reverie while pushing the boundaries of fashion completely forward, Boxing Kitten is a vibrant melee of Then and Now. Vintage-inspired silhouettes celebrate a time gone by, with designs that call upon the spirit and lives of mid-century American women that are modernized for the woman of today and the future.

The Lady

Maya Amina Lake was born in Brooklyn, NY. Daughter to Marion and Oliver Lake, she grew up in New Jersey and has a B.A. in African-American studies from Wesleyan University. She is an avid indoor and beach volleyball player and has an Abyssinian cat named Fancy. Lake is a self taught designer and entrepreneur.

The Fabric

It seems the batik, or wax-print, fabrics that are so indispensable to West African traditional dress are not, by and large, actually from Africa. The most coveted, the ones that set the trends, are designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, in the nondescript factory town of Helmond, by the Vlisco corporation. And this is nothing new. The Dutch, and Vlisco in particular, have dominated the African print-fabric market since the end of the nineteenth century.





Celebrities have become fond of this line too..

I really adore this collection, please find the time to check it out Boxing Kitten
