My Favorite African Designer as of Dec 2009

The collection is ItuenBasi and according to their website, the line is a celebration of the ubiquitous Nigerian print in all its glory. I absoloutely fell in love with the 'ankara and beads' collection and the extravagant colorfulness of the line. The designs also take on a very feminine shape and coupled with the uniquness of the prints, they are to die for.

Key pieces includes fitted evening dresses, 70's inspired tunics, relaxed flapper inspired dresses and ankara accessories.
