Caring for our African Prints

11:32

Heya!
So while we're all busy rocking our African prints, you'd agree we have challenges maintaining their lustre right?
Not forgetting the complicated embroidery, lace and diamante stones they're sometimes designed with.
Well we put a few tips together to help you care for your prints.
First of, you shouldn't wash your prints too often, dry them out in the sun instead. This way the fabric wouldn't fade early and you won't have to worry about loosing your embellishments.
Also, you should gently hand wash your African print clothes and avoid using strong detergents.
Lastly, pay attention to the temperature of heat you apply while ironing, most African prints are made of cotton, which would require high heat but they may have attachments made of linen, voile, silk, etc, which might require different temperature levels.
So there you go, hopefully your print clothes would now last longer than they usually do.

Ozwald Boateng Makes Ghana Proud Again

08:08

Heeeyy!!!

We've got breaking news, there's a new 'fashion doctor'.

During its 2013 graduation ceremony yesterday, the London College of Fashion awarded Ozwald Boateng with the title of Honorary Doctor for his contribution to the field of Fashion Tailoring.

This is a much deserved award don't you think?

Ozwald is the creative director of the Ozwald Boateng 'Bespoke Couture'. He started tailoring for men in the 1980's and has since worked hard to redefine the famous British art of bespoke tailoring.

He's tailored for many celebrities including Jamie Foxx who rocked one of his suits at this year's BET awards.

Congrats Ozwald! We're proud of you!
