Hello
all, Happy Sunday to you and I hope that whatever your plans are for today that
they will be fulfilled.
As
the African continent is fast unveiling some major talent in the fashion and
design sector, every day we come across a new brand from aspiring creative with
a focus on creating luxurious, highly essential pieces for the fast growing
fashion lovers. Cameroon is no different. Talents in the country are also
working their socks off to catch up with this growing trend/demand.
We introduce
you to Maison D’Afie a womenswear brand launched a few years back in the UK by
Sarah Divine-Garba a young Cameroonian accountant who gave it up to follow her
fashion dream. After a small short hiatus which allowed her to “live” a little and from her new base of Geneva in Switzerland,
the lady is back with a whole new look and a different collection dubbed “Mami
Nyanga”.
Their
new collection is a subtle romance between “street couture” and tropical flavours giving
rise to a few essential classic items.
The collection is made of 8 interchangeable pieces suitable for any
occasion. The idea here is to achieve much with less.
She
surely remained true to her brand by infusing tribal accents into the designs
with the use of colour and embroidery of tribal art. Most of the work is
artisanal with a lot of attention put into the cut.
Quality
and practicality were the key drivers in her thought process. The collection
features customised prints in silks, and polyester and there is indeed a pick
for every lady.
Check out the pieces below...

look book is also available on: www.maisondafie.com
