Our top picks from Mozambique Fashion Week...
Monday
South African Designer Jacques Lagrange by Petronella Tayamika Mahachi
The 2 piece ensembles that were
sent down the catwalk by Jacques Lagrange were nothing short of elegant. 1940's
glamour that is subtly seductive with true sophistication, an alternative to
the much loved African print. Our top picks...

Menswear: Feliciano at Mozambique Fashion Week 2012 by Petronella Tayamika Mahachi
Designs sent down the runway by

few of the elements sent down the catwalk. This has got to be one of the most
creative collections at Mozambique Fashion Week 2012.

Fatima Lopes at Mozambique Fashion Week 2012 by Petronella Tayamika Mahachi
This designer understands the female form and knows just how to play it up without being overly seductive. The rules are quite simple to understand, even to the fashion novice. Play up the top, play down the bottom. Bare shoulders and covered up legs. Fatima knows how to work her fabrics which is a great skill to have. She uses textiles in a way that maximises effect.

take on the peplum design, lady like dressing with a retro spin, a design inspired
by the bandage dress with a sheer under dress to add to the appeal. The use of
exotic fabric in earthy colours punctuated by tribal prints is what Adelia e
Sheila Tique sent down the runway. Here are our top picks…

The Kenyan designer Aobakwe
Molisiwa’s collection showed that she is capable of stepping outside her
comfort zone, without the usual array of textiles like tie and dye that she
normally uses. Her collection was made up of Feminine silhouettes from daytime
chic to evening magic. Bare shoulders and bare legs accentuated the female
form. A peplum skirt gave us the forties flair. Here are our top picks…
