My today's look is inspired by Stella Jean's Spring Summer 2015 collection which I liked tremendously. Bright and colourful African theme prints are paired with checkered shirts, football jerseys or polka dots. It was only her third proper showing and she is already known for her "wax-and-stripes" signature. Wax for the wax-resist prints she develops in Africa and her mother's native Haiti and stripes borrowed from her father's Italian-made shirts. The pairing of African prints and Italian stripes allows her to bring two cultures together to show they can coexist.
My African theme print skirt was bought in a local boutique. Perhaps it is not as bright and colourful as those by Stella Jean but still interesting and beautiful and I love it.
I paired the skirt with a black-and-white checkered shirt and accessorised it with stripy belt, red stones necklace and red shoes.

You created an amazing look, Olga!I just adore your giraffes skirt - gorgeous fun! Love this very much. :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThis pairing of your looks like it just walked out of the fashion runway! Seriously, it looks like it belongs with the rest! Stunning and well done putting this together! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteYou have styled the two items in a really cute way! Fashion catwalks are very inspiring and allow to experiment new looks... your shirt fits you and I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful selection of photos ...
The giraffe print is fabulous, and yes, the pairing of African prints with stripes, checks or polka dots is really cool. Love those sexy shoes too, and the sneaky peek of kitty! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is simple divine...I love the giraffe print, it's absolutely beautiful. I also really like the collection you have shown us and how well that designer managed to merge her African and Italian roots- really impressive result.
ReplyDeleteMix of prints is something I have always loved and interesting how the stripes on the belt connect the prints somehow. Your interpretation of her collection is so perfect...you accessorized wonderfully with those heels and necklace...and you do look stunning!
I didn't initially notice the kitty that photo bombed the shots but when I read about it in one of the comments, I just had to go back and have a look....second shot from the end, right? how cute! the way the kitty seems to be hiding behind your skirt is adorable.
