What I Thought I'd Never See, Wish I Hadn't

I don't usually post 'international' fashion stories, because that's not the point of this blog, but I couldn't resist this one... Vogue's own Anna Wintour is pictured here at the Paris Louis Vuitton show in an African print trench for the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Is it just me or is there something strange about seeing her in this ethnic print? A little too busy? Either way, the trench is a stunner (as seen below on a model). I want! It feels like a throwback to the Boxing Kitten/SUNO collections we love so much. Buyer beware: know thyself, African prints aren't for everyone.

Model Behaviour: Namnyak Does NFM

The face of this year's Nairobi Fashion Market is our beloved Namnyak Charity Odupoy. You may recall that we styled and shot her in Penny Winter for UP! Magazine (pictures below). With that amazing skin and all that hair, Namnyak is as beautiful and professional a model as you will ever meet. Loves her.

In Sync @ Coolout Party

Although we didn't plan it, Marek and I somehow synchronized our outfits at this weekend's Coolout Party at TRIBE. His black & grey tones and my white-on-white work together somehow. His polka-dot pocket hankie mirrors the black rose in my chain-link necklace, both adding a little visual element to lift the sombre colour palette. Plus we both chose the simplicity of a blazer worn over a plain shirt. Such harmony.
