Hi & Happy New Year 2024! It feels like forever since I've last been here. Hope that you are all well. Am doing ok, actually feeling better than I have in quite a long time. Sincerely speaking, this space (the part of my life that revolved around creating fashion) hasn't been binging me much joy like it used to. I have been struggling over the last couple of years & can't really pinpoint when exactly 'my light' started to dim. Maybe during the pandemic, am not so sure. But somehow, I...

Did you get a chance to attend the recently ended 'AUGENBLICKE AFRIKA African Film Festival' here in Hamburg? I wrote a blog about it here & also posted a Vlog on my Youtube Channel. It's amazing to see how much talent there is in the continent as shown by the huge variety of Films that were screened at the Studio Kino. I had the opportunity to interview 'Saliou Waa Gouendoum Sarr' one of the talented Filmmakers whose Film 'Life Saaraba Illegal' was screened at the Festival, . A documentary...

Finding a camel coat that was the perfect length that I wanted & which was affordable too turned out to be a major problem. So, I decided to make one myself which turned out quite cute especially when styled with this Gingham top that I made myself too. And now that the sunny & warmer side of Spring is taking it's sweet time to show up, I get a chance to rock my new coat now.

I'm slowly trying to build up my collection of neutral pieces in my wardrobe & this Grey slogan tshirt is the very first that I own. It is one of my favourites not only because of the fit but also because I love the message that it carries.

This was one of the events of the #SMWHH (Social Media Week Hamburg 2017) that took place at the Superbude Hotel here in Hamburg that is part of the Social Media Conferences taking place also in Lagos & New York. The continued image change of Africa, in terms of Fashion, Music, Art & Film that in turn shows us a side of Africa that is rarely seen/shown by the mainstream media, can only be attributed to digital media. Thanks to Social Media, it is much more easier for artists to connect...

The trench coat is one of Fall's must-have piece of outerwear that is not only a timeless classic but also never really goes out of style. It can be found in many styles & colours & there is definately a coat for everyone's taste. Black, camel & grey are the most common colour choices but why not make a statement with a printed trench coat, like this Khanga one from our latest Collection. And when you find a nice one like this, why not make it work double duty & wear it as a...

Denim jackets are currently all over runways, Fashion magazines & on social media, but with embellishments such as embroidery & interesting patches. I have been, as any fashion lover been consumed with the desire to own one, but the reality is that they come at a price, a very high one most of the time. And so I began my search for patches & the perfect denim jacket (which i got off Ebay). All sorts of patches can be found on Ebay, Amazon & Etsy, but because i didn't have much...

Velvet, cold shoulder, peplum detail & Turtleneck all in one piece! Well, leave it to me to combine 4 trends into one amazing top. This started out as a dress but because I had snipped away a piece of this soft & luxurious fabric to DIY some shoes (coming up soon on the Blog), it ended up being a top with peplum details (mainly because I don't do croptops, well until I join a Gym someday).
