True Expression Tuesdays ~Spotlighting~ South African designer Anisa Mpungwe

D.I.V.A.S!!!!!!!!!

So all of the fashionistas are just getting off of New York’s Fashion Week high and for those of us who live in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area, we look forward to The October Fashion Week.   When we hear news from Fashion Week, we tend to only hear about the larger lables and the next new trend.  Unfortunatley sometimes designers of Color are not given the same spotlight for their extremely creative and bold designs.  So today I want to  spotlight an absolutely fabulous designer by the name of Anisa Mpungwe who is the genius behind loin cloth & ashes. 

Mpungwe, a Tanzanian-born and South Africa resident, received great attention after she won the ELLE new talent competition in 2008 and has since been taking over the fashion world.  She creates a feel of sexy and edgy with her modern designs.  For more information about her collection check out her site  at http://www.loinclothandashes.com/lca-collection.php

We have to support our Designers ladies!!!!!!!
