African Prints
African prints are one of the 'it' touches of winter, But did you know that Matthew Williamson , a British designer got in trouble for it !!! Some of his designs... The Ethiopian intellectual property office was offended by the twist he put on their traditionnal attire , Wiliamson's way is this one below...
The British Designer is not the only one showing african prints in and out of the runway .Check out Madonna in Diane Von Furstenberg !!! DKNY
I hate that they use our prints, i really do because i know African designers have been doing it for yrs, now oscar de la renta does it and its hype but when we do it its what? traditional? cultural? how about just nice clothes pshhhhhhhhhh
