Trending: Lets Go Native; Brazil & Arica




Im currently loving Native inspired clothing and the abstract designs of Brazil and Africa especially! I would love for this trend to be brought to life this Summer, and I wish I could find more items like this!

The colours, bold patterns and entrancing impact of how each piece seems unique to each outfit, fits my style brief. I love loud and unique, so wearing these patterns are so much fun.

The Exotic and daring embellishments and crazy structures of these patterned pieces take me to the Carnival of Rio De Janeiro or the Jungles of Africa. 

Here are a few of my favourite pieces I have found around 




Let me know of stores that sell pieces to this brief, I'm also interested to learn of other Native pattern inspired clothing that you love!

Event: Creatives Uncovered


Sorry guys, I havent blogged for a very long time but I am now dedicating myself to blogging at least twice a week, Things have just been really busy, but Im back and full of ideas and inspiration, I hope you enjoy! 

I had the opportunity to attend a Creatives Uncovered Fashion Night recently. This event was also the launch of Ispire magazine. Creatives Uncovered has offered a platform of display and acknowledgment to the artists of tomorrow in fashion, music and art. 
This event was Africa all over, Creatives Uncovered brought Africa here, with the wild flavours and colours of vibrant Africa, designers from Australia and Africa came together in a night of high fashion and good vibes. I was lucky enough to witness such amazing designs that were showcased right before me, with the ability to buy straight of the catwalk. There was such uniqueness and attitude that these elegant yet street fashion lines had to offer. With the combination of colour clashing, structured patterns in the mix with elegant sheike i was in my element. Such fashion excites me, Its amazing to see where fashion is going and how far it has come. 
The coming together of culture and fashion is an amazing metaphor of community and equality, although such an unrelated concept to the night there was a sense of togetherness and belonging. 
Fashion is a passion that is shared with the world, a language that has so much to give and receive. The once materialistic ideas assumed of fashion has now changed and created a whole new meaning of ART!
