Bobafrique Womenswear

I have never ruled out doing womenswear, i was just waiting for the right time and this is it. I have been sketching for women but i wasn't sure about bringing about the sketches to live because menswear was like a comfort zone and each piece i have made in my menswear collection i totally see myself wearing them. Ladies love my menswear collection so now am really excited to let all the ladies out there know that womenswear is here.

It's part of the ButterFLY Heaven collection, super chic, sassy and very glam. Each piece is made to fit and emphasize your unique beauty and celebrate the confident 21ist century woman. Bobafrique womenswear will be live on the runway during London Fashion week

ButterFLY Heaven Collection SS11 Coming soon,Blink and you'll miss it!

Shooting ButterFLY Heaven Part 1

As an animal lover i hate to use the term "letting the cat out of the bag",because it shouldn't be inside a bag in the first place,anyway i just want let you know that i've started doing the lookbook for butterfly heaven collection,its massive so there's no way we can shoot everything in one day. I am always keen on outdoor photoshoots so yesterday we braved the cold windy weather to shoot part of the collection outside.
There's no way we could have done it without Kevin Belson the photographer,once he's behind the camera i know i don't have to worry because he's absolutely genius,to see more of his work visit http://www.accelerationlounge.com/index.html. The models: Jacade Simpson and Leon Tuitt-Smith were very professional and fantastic and we had a great photoshoot. I've added a few behind the scene photos that i took on my phone,enjoy. xoxo.

London fashion week

Bobafrique will be coming out with a brand new collection this February during London fashion week called BUTTERFLY HEAVEN, the pieces in this collection are perfect for spring/summer. Every day i am constantly trying to improve this brand and take it to greater heights and this next collection will show you just that, it's fresh, bold,elegant,uninhibited and zappy.

New Dawn

    Phew, what a year,its been a while since i updated this blog hopefully you 'll get more updates from me this year,i promise. Fashion is about looking forward to the future and so is life,2010 did have its ups and downs, highs and lows, who said life was going to be fair eh. Time to put all that behind and embrace the new year with positive energy. I don't do new year resolutions but whatever works for you,For me i think the most important thing is to stay true to yourself ,originality,be thankful for each new day and make the most of it.
     Its definitely going to be a busy year for bobafrique collectionz,starting with our debut fashion show in London,fashion week,magazine features,womenswear,brand new online shop etc. Watch this space.
     Am going to leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Bluezeum: If life is full of crumbs make an appetizer and if life is full of shit make fertilizer. Wishing you a wonderful new year, Go get that dream.
   Love & light,xoxo

Quotes from some world famous designers

Fashion does not have to prove that it is serious. It is the proof that intelligent frivolity can be something creative and positive. Karl largerfield

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” -Coco Chanel

“It's all a game, with new rules every season.” Stefano Gabbana

Silence is golden

Speech needs company; silence needs solitude

Speech wants to conquer others; silence helps conquer oneself

Speech demands respect, silence commands it

Speech is self -expression; silence is self-experience

Speech is mind bound, silence is soul bound

Speech asserts ego; silence effaces it

Speech dissipates ego; silence conserves it

Speech is human; silence is divine

Speech receives appreciation; silence receives adoration

Great works are inspired by speech but written in silence

Life is a flower; silence is its fragrance

We surround ourselves with noise, because we are uncomfortable with silence.

We fill our lives with distractions, because we are reluctant to confront
