we've had our eyes on dominican model, arlenis sosa for a hot minute. she's striking, she's beautfiul, she's FIERCE. here are some photos from her spread in the time style and design's april 2009 magazine. the theme? out of africa.
so ridiculous we can barely contain ourselves. this season's africanista isn't just of the african-print dress wearing variety. there seems to be a strong emphasis on a vibe, little bits and pieces that are reminiscent of a contemporary african who's in touch with a more conservative, traditional side. from animal print, to raffia bangles, to bold, statement pieces (necklaces, earrings, rings), to head wraps, the message is this - mix and match, take a walk on the wild side, clash, make it your own. we love that the first spread features a jacket by liquorice favorite, duro olowu and two other spreads (the 4th and 6th, not counting the cover) feature pieces from out of africa brand, suno.
spreads like this are one of the reasons we blog.
amazing.
