London Fashion

London Fashion Week, oh how I love and miss you. I know a lot of bloggers will be showing their favourite designer collections so I decided to show my favourite looks that were worn by fashion week attendees. Being a young black woman I felt that there were not a lot of black fashion icons I could follow and get inspiration from, so thanks to the power of Google I found some looks that are amazingly inspirational women.



Yoanna Pepper Okwesa







Dame just looks like she is such a trouble maker and I love it. The blond hair tied up in a bun, the rings, her make up, excuse me but could we just look at her make up. Black lipstick and heavy black eyeliner and mascara. Who is this girl? She just looks so fierce, I mean she looks at Sasha Fierce and laughs in her face.

Marian Kihugo

First thing I noticed was the lips, bright pink and I swear she is wearing Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday lipstick for MAC. Marian is soo ballsy, I feel like she took everything she thought was amazing and decided to wear it. It is just her very own and this is what fashion is about, making things your very own and not following trends to the T.

Omowunmi Wemi Akinsola

I have this outfit, I really do. My maxi dress is black, sheer lace and I wear my h and m black dress with tights underneath with my black leather jacket. Its so biker-chic, I like how the sheerness of the maxi dress makes it feminine and soft but the leather on the bag( i see you Alexander Wang) shoes and jacket make it so hard and rugged. I feel like this look would have been featured in Rihanna's Hard video.

Mercedes Benson

From one black girl to another, your hair is so on point. The colour, its so classy and still has that rude girl vibe to it. Mercedes gets two pictures in because she wore cute, black and white, monochrome in one outfit and did a complete 360 with the next. Not really having a "comfort zone" in my opinion, dressing up as it takes your fancy. Even with the make up, pink in one and black the next. How I envy those who live fashion according to their own rules. And its still winter, early springish in London and she wears colour! Colour people, colour!!



Magda Odj

Simple yet stylish, its just less in more. So much much much more here. Even with the makeup, she does an intense red lip and the rest is down to a minimum.Something my older sister would definitely wear! Luvs it.

Pics are mostly from Vogue Italia website, they have Vogue Black.
