I had a great talk last nigh and it reminded me about the important things in life. It’s so often we get wrapped up in the superficial aspects of things, you know? I mean, I know I write about fashion (which some would argue by it’s very nature is superficial)… but at the end of the day it’s the art, the passion, and the dream of the independent designers that really inspires me and keeps me writing. I may add to this thought later, but there’s that whole work-thing I need to attend to…
Before I go I thought you’d like to start your day with Lola Faturoti.
Born the daughter and granddaughter of tribal chiefs in her native Ondo, Nigeria, designer Lola Faturoti is deeply influenced by her personal history and her African roots. Introduced to the world of fashion by her grandmother (who designed traditional Nigerian clothes), and her mother (who traveled the world snagging up cool clothes for her daughter), Lola studied fashion in London and eventually moved to NYC where she launched her first collection.
Inspired by iconoclastic, independent, individual women, Lola’s collection is fun, relevant and truly gorgeous. You’ll love her fun-fabrics and dreamy- silhouettes.
As always, more later.
the colors contrast very well with eachother. the patterns are repeating and it looks really unique on the clothing. i like it because its different from most looks. i was looking at the fall line and it really does remind me of the falls season because of the oranges, browns, greens.
