Thula Sindi | Africa Fashion Week 2011


Thula Sindi's Africa Fashion Week 2011 epitomized what I've come to call "The Thula Sindi Woman": cool, professional, and unmistakably feminine. The collection exuded success and confidence, with clean lines mixed with eye-catching accessories and details.

What I particularly loved about this collection was his use of belts to clinch the waist, giving his outfits shape and bounce. Something Diane von Fustenberg achieved with her famous wrap-dress: class, comfort and an undeniable sexiness femininity is known for.

Another detail I found intriguing is the designer's play with different necklines: regal asymmetric or sexy plunging or wide-shoulder, it appealed to women who are successful and confident but still have different taste sensibilites.

Fashion for Men: Ugo Mozie

It was a matter of time before I came across UGO MOZIE, one of the best dressed African men (are there awards for this? There should be!) and a talented stylist. Snagged this pic on twitter, he calls this the going to the airport "African Renaissance Man" look. Alluring.

Check out the interview I did with him on Fashion Et Al last August here.
