Inspiration for all 2 (Cecelia Cassini)

Cecelia Cassini is the main lady in our second series on inspiration for all. 

I first heard of her during her feature on the 2nd season of Project Runway All Stars.

She is the youngest! let me say it again youngest! fashion designer 

known of in the United States. She provide "Kiddi Coutour" clothing that you

see her rocking in her photos. 

 She has dressed celebrities such as Zack Ephron.

She is really passionate about encouraging young individuals  that you do not have to wait to become an adult in order to achieve your dreams. 

Cecilia began with little lessons but became more skilful  through trial and error. With a lot of broken needles later she sells clothing for as much as $450.00

So for everyone young and old 

its not too late to start working on your dreams

Duro Olowu meets J.C. Penney

As we all know african fashion na # 1 right now lol meaning (African Fashion is #1).
 I am so excited to see the Western and African world merged in a way that the glory is shared. In the recent years we have seen western shops and use african print and overpriced it to the max, not saying african designers dont too. Its just that I am glad that this collaboration offers 

clothing in such an affordable way. According to okay africa the price

of the clothing and accessories will start from $10 to $100.00 which is pretty fair.

Bellow are pictures of clothing and accessories from the collection that are my favs.
