Clive Rundle A/W 2011

Clive Rundle’s Braille inspired Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection couples bold, strong construction with the soft gentle fabrics of cotton and silk. The bold yet beautiful contrast that he creates in this collection remains true to the labels uncanny design aesthetic. The most interesting aspect of the runway show were the beads of white blinders he used to accessorize each outfit. What is so original about these beads is that they are known as something a sangoma or traditional medicine man would wear. What a surprise to find them on the runway.

 

Wealthy minds continue to speak dreams into existence.  Faith and fashion go hand in hand for the the Billionaire PA, whose vision is to inspire over one billion people to speak their dreams into existence, the Billionaire PA began creating his clothing line Wealthy Minds Clothing with that vision in mind.  The clothing line consists of graphic tees with quotes from The Billionaie PA’s  inspirational book printed on them.  His most popular tees, “Damn a recession I’m in a succession,” and “God’s on my team who’s on yours?” have sold over 5,000 units worldwide in only three months without any distribution but with plenty of faith. Very impressive for the 27 year old entrepreneur.  There are also plans to expand the brand to include sneakers, the idea; to help you walk with purpose.  Purchase items from Wealthy Minds Clothing at http://www.wealthymindsclothing.com/

J’ai Deux Amours

J’ai Deux Amours is how Eric Raisina describes the inspiration behind his latest collection. His two loves? Paris and Madagascar. ”Eric Raisina is essentially a designer of three continents: Asia, Europe and Africa. This combination makes his fashion unique and universal.  Always interested in experimenting with designs, it was chance that took him from his hometown in Madagascar to Paris to study design at the Ecole Duperré.” As a designer he has devoted himself to developing new colors, textures and silk weaving patterns,  the raffia from Madagascar, one of Eric’s signature products, is regarded as the “African Lace” and his famous “silk fur” has become a much sought after fabric.  Haute Textures are what Eric Raisina is all about it is no wonder that he has been called upon to create unique textures for Parisian fashion houses including Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior and Christian Lacroix.  View the latest collection at EricRaisina.com
