Trend Report 2010: African Inspired

Regular readers may remember that I did a post on My Asho a couple of months ago, a site that updates African prints fabrics with modern silhouettes. Well, this seems to be a burgeoning trend as I've encountered a couple more sites that are doing the same, using ethnic prints and reworking them into updated lines.

 I love this pic on Hemma's website, it is their black and white Asante jacket styled with some other bold African fabrics. This shot is from the April issue of Essence magazine.

I love love love all of these looks! I am prepping to make some orders :-)

Definitely true...a lot of African-inspired looks, and these are definitely some great ones!

I am so weak. Seriously...that was the last summer purchase!!!
