AFRIKAN THOUGHT LEADERS
Complex, culturally rich, diverse, uniquely beautiful, indefinable, exotic, spirited,
humorous, challenged, and solution-focussed – a plethora of other adjectives comes
to the fore when Afrikan design is discussed.

made from two layers of patterned Vlisco glazed cotton.
Vlisco is based in Holland and traditionally supplies all

the entire Afrikan continent.”

“This dress was inspired by Zimbabwean
women who crochet endless table cloths
and bed covers. We transformed and recycled these into extremely sexy dresses
interwoven with brightly coloured gauze
strips. The dress was also over-dyed
with natural indigo from North Africa.”
“I used seseshwe (there are many
variations of spelling for this fabric)
throughout my career and since my
work with this fabric is widely copied by
other designers, I constantly re-invent
the product. Scarification patterns used
by tribes in northern Zimbabwe was the
inspiration for this ‘rib cage’ effect.”
“Over-dyed and beaded seseshwe with
strips of gold fabric creating a slashed
effect between panels.”
“Similar inspiration as the previous
image with the mini version made
from off-cuts – ultimate recycling! The
neckpiece is layered leather made by
Chloe Townsend specifically for
this dress.”
“This dress and petticoat was originally
made out of scraps of coloured stretch
gauze which is a fabric I have used
over many years. The joins were given
prominence with the addition of soft
vintage grosgrain ribbons.”
