AMEN
I know these pictures are all over the internet but I honestly just had to. I have never been a fan of Dolce and Gabbana. I've always found their aesthetic gaudy (each to her own) but this Spring Summer 2013 collection literally made me stop and GASP. This is one of the most striking collections I've ever seen. It is simply breathtaking. The crowns, and those earrings, so simple an idea, it's one of those things you wish you would have thought of. The collection is inspired by 12th Century Italian/Sicilian mosaics inspired by the mosaics at The Monreale Cathedral, on of Italy's biggest attractions. Can I get an Amen up in this beeyaatch??
IMPELA VEKI = NICE TIME
Friday, March 1, 2013
Hey folks, busy weekend ahead. On Sunday, MeMeMe Joburg will have a stand at that fabulous new rooftop market in Kramerville, near Sandton. It's really all that. Come check it out! Meanwhile, our Cape Town shop sisters are working around the clock for their Design Indaba stand. Doreen Southwood's show is at 11.30 on Saturday, but if you miss it, you could always go and check out the collection at her stand at the Indaba. Wish I was in Cape Town, but tonight is Sterring come rain or shine! Impela Veki means Week End in Xhosa. The direct translation: Mpela = end and Veki = Week.
