Shoes by Burberry Porsum.

Like a moth attracted to a sweet spot I’ve been drawn towards the beauty of African print.  It has that magic touch of satisfaction where something unusual feels like it should’ve always been in my life.  I love the electric powerplays of colour… the fluid graphics..the exuberant clashes..it’s a buzz that gathers and turns a piece of material into a stage..

Burberry ‘did it’ a few summers ago….

But I think it’s time for the love affair to diffuse down the food-chain…I want to see more on the streets generally..there are legs on this baby… These photos were taken by MG Onania for Fashizblack Magazine..

Rich, magical and aspirational.

These are of Yassive Rahal by Julien Cozzoline for Fashizblack Magazine:

And these are from a wonderful blog: style-caralho.blogspot.co.uk. ( I don’t know the indivdiual photographers name – but if anyone does, I’m very happy to attribute)

Personally I think we all need a fresh blast of African air.

Anna is doing her best to distract me..she says Burberry ‘did it’ last summer..and she’s not wrong…
