we've just caught wind of a magazine called "New African Woman" and those who know it best describe it as "the magazine for the discerning women of substance." issue 4 comes out on Jan 27, 2010 in the UK [due out Feb 1 worldwide] and this edition's cover girl is none other than shingai shoniwa, lead singer of the noisettes. shingai, as some of you may already know, has zimbabwean origins and has cited this as an influence on her style. shingai wears a dress by nigerian designer nkwo onwuka of nkwo designs [seen at Arise Africa Fashion Week last June] and a leather belt by ndamus london. see a full runway photo of the nkwo piece below:
absolutely gorgeous.
