ARISE AFRICA FASHION WEEK: DAY 7 - - GLORIA WAVAMUNNO (UGANDA)

gloria wavamunno kept it mostly short and sweet with very modern silhouettes (bubble hems, one shoulder, cutouts, tube). her yellow kanga dress featuring the map of africa was a a particular highlight and reppin' the continent doesn't go much harder than that. all in all, a collection fit the modern africanista who enjoys the thrill of taking simple pieces and making them her own with bold accessories and dazzling dashes of color.

ARISE AFRICA FASHION WEEK: DAY 7 - - FUNDUDZI (SOUTH AFRICA)

we loved these simple but noteworthy pieces from south africa's fundudzi. while some pieces from his collection left us with furrowed brows, his clean, straight-to-the-points pieces white/ivory pieces captured the essence of confidence mixed with a healthy dose of everyday, on-the-go chic. we also like the idea of throwing metallic silver gladiator sandals into the mix -- way to spice things up without being distracting.
