When we first launched in 2012, African clothing, here in the UK anyway was relatively unknown, especially in everyday wear. There were a select few brands and individuals who produced beautiful attire for an incredibly niche selection of customers at events across London and the UK. All of us, who were there then, helped make African clothing known and popular, we showed people the incredible designs that could be made using the funky and vivid African prints. We showed people you could wear African...everyday!
Fashion flows like a river, it is constantly changing direction and speed. African fashion has exploded recently, and these are the new trends for you to look out for.
1. Be Bold & Try Mixing Prints
We like to call this 'fabric clash', clashing fabrics in such a way that they actually look fab together, and we love it! Its not for the faint hearted, but if you get this unique style right, you'll be turning heads, for the right reasons!
2. Dashiki
The Dashiki has been around for years, this is one trend that is not going anywhere. Dashiki actually simply means T Shirt or loose fitting shirt. In recent years Dashiki has become known for the fabric that is commonly used to make them. This fabric is actually call Angelina, and we use it in everything.
