2010 FDC YOUNG DESIGNER SHOW
I was blown away by how beautiful the models were, and kind of dissapointed that I haven’t seen them anywhere else. Some of them definitely should be all over the place and I can’t figure out why they’re not… hmmmmm (the first model pictured here was our host Annaliese Dayes from Britain’s Next Top Model)
This collection made me want to listen to M.I.A. – the vibe was really urban and crisp. My favourites were the simple one-pieces with small rosette cloth details.
CHERRELLE STRACHAN
This collection featured lots of exaggerated panels to accentuate curves, and was inspired by DNA’s double helix wrapped around the body.
LEEANNE RIPLEY-GARRETT
Leeanne Ripley-Garrett (yep, she was at the La Geneve North Event too!) won the category of Raducical Designer. She put on the most amazing show, and was so humble.
KANYINSOLA ONALAJA
I was SO excited about this designer – how does she make tie-dye so classy?! I could see myself wearing these garments.
LEANDA BOATSWAIN
GBEMISOLA OKUNLOLA
LINDA COBBINA (Single Garment Entry)
SHANICE BRYCE (Single Garment Entry) I absolutely loved this little dress – it reminded me of a glam fishbowl.
THERE’S A MONKEY ON MY BACK, MAKES ME ACT LIKE THAT

THE FUTURE AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE
I’M NOT THERE
Handbag Heaven
Everyone knows what a passion I have for shopping and one of my favorite purchases of all is a fashion handbag! I am lucky enough to have some great stores in our local malls here but you only have so much selection when you are working with an inventory. Online is of course a whole different story and I have found a couple of great sites I will share you all but you have to remember you heard about from me first! Promise?
Ok then, the first one I like is sokubag.com because this site is completely wild with excellent replica handbags. Your bff wont’ know the difference unless you confess over a cocktail that it is not the real thing! The sukobag is really well laid out with the brand names down the left side. All you need to do it click on your favorite designer and look at what they offer. Super nice bags with lookalike attraction but the prices are really low! I love it.
Another site is a great blog with news about the latest styles and great photos to see how lovely they are. It is called louis-vuitton-news.com and you can’t help but like the minimal style and the focus on the handbags. Everyone loves Louis Vuitton handbags and when you love something so much you dedicate your blog to it then you can make magic! I will never own enough handbags or shoes so I visit both places often. Check them out!
