Fashionistas influenced by the African culture experienced a collection of designers–Arise: African Promise Collective. Here are two of our favorite designers:
David Tlale’s “Cultural Intimacy” will bring your sexual side to life with a classy touch. His collection comes to life with long, flowing drapery and intricate pleating. Designs are so appealing with the sensual combination of gold, black and white. As Bella Naija stated, “There were tassels, there were Edwardian ruffles and then there were sequins.”
Eric Raisina’s Afro-Asiatique”Queen of Madagascar” didn’t fail to please. His colorful collage of oranges, turquoises and reds embraces women as queens. As the wild card of the collective, he worked hard to spread his message. His collection is inspired by the lands of Africa and time spent around the world, mostly in Asia.
And here’s a little eye candy from David Tlale–the scrumptious Tyson Beckford:
