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. Ilara Lepore: Kill Your Idols Ilaria Lepore is a contemporary fashion designer based in London since 2012. The designer’s interactions with the outer edges of society have led her to reverse…

London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter ’18: Day Three
Sharon Wauchob For London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 18 collection Sharon focused on the extremes of obvious and hidden femininity. Her need to keep a raw attitude to couture through splicing hand embroideries on satin coats. Elongating traditional silk dresses and pairing them with oversized Napa coats. 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.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, What About the Lilacs?
She Walks in Beauty: She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent,…

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…
