London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter ’18: Day Four Part 2
I decided to divide day four of London Fashion Week AW18 into two posts because a lot happened that day. Plus, I didn’t want to overwhelm you guys to sleep with too much awesomeness. 🙂 The second part of the day is a contrast between a designer that challenges the notion of what the fashion industry has become and Fashion designers all the way from The Middle East erasing the stereotype that stigmatises Arab Women as an oppressed community.

Allthis inspired by a mix of photographers; David Noonan’s sculptures and pictures, Sarah Moon’s photographs and Martha Graham’s images. All who who have examined femininity through Dance and movement. She wanted decadence to counteract with rawness. Soft leather foiled with gold and hand polished gave a raw edge to a favourite shaped coat. Masculine and feminine always are working together in the collection and this…

The Chronicles of Yimbiha
I usually prefer to tag my everyday dilly-dalling #yimbihashenanighans. However today’s I decided I might as well make the short films a series and Behold ‘The Chronicles of Yimbiha.’ In today’s episode of The Chronicles of Yimbiha we follow these wannabe film maker around the city. Only this time instead of doing the shooting, I asked my friend to do it instead. Out of the 70 videos taken only 4 made the cut! 🙈 In this video I share a typical Sunday for me. Well, without the vlog shooting. I go out in the morning on a bike head to the city and grab breakfast at Charlotte. Charlotte is missing…

Beyoncé’s Grammys 2017 Performance, Valentines Day ’17
Beyoncé’s Grammy Performance could not have come at a better time. I dedicate this to all of you out there. However, most importantly this goes out to the ones with the broken hearts, To the ones with scars so deep it hurts to breath, To the ones that cry themselves to sleep, To the ones still trying to catch their breathe whilst drowning in the pain that only love can inflict , To the ones still grasping at the last straw of hope, To the ones that feel left out. This is for you. May Our healing be Glorious. ❤️ Happy Valentines My Loves ❤️ https://vimeo.com/203941448

High School Flashbacks
I was in the mall the other day just browsing through shops. Literally!I find a spot in a shop where I have full view of all clothes in the shop, do a 360degree full body turn and let the clothes speak to me. Lolz I know! I call it skimming through shopping. I had a fashion show I had to attend in two hours and time was of essence. For those of you who follow me on instagram and snapchat you got to watch it 🙂 Live. Then I remembered that I have no sweaters at all and well, winter is around the corner. but alas there infront of me…
