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.

Funke Akindele!! (Inspiration for all 1)

I have decided to Start a segment called "Inspiration For All".  Being in the fashion industry or any business at all, it is essential that one always stays motivated so as not to lose sight of their goal.  As a result,  throughout this segment I will be sharing with you different bits, pieces, and people that inspire me to keep on moving.

If you have anything you feel inspires you feel free to 

email info@houseofdara.com and 

if it inspires me I'll share it.

Let's start off with this young woman I am a huge fan of... Funke Akindele!

Now Mrs Funke A. Oloyede

(Love this Teal pumpkin dress on her) 

Funke Akindele, popularly known as Jenifa is one of the biggest actresses in the yoruba movie industry and I love what she is all about. In her breakout movie "Jenifa"  she plays a hilarious character which pretty much showcases yoruba (Nigerian language) movies in mainstream african entertainment. What I loved about her and the movie was that it was not only about laughs and games, it also sent a message educating individuals about the truth on the

Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV)/Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome ( AIDS). 

So why am so inspired by her? I just happened to see a snippet of  an interview put together by Dudu -Afric- AH  and Telafric. The interview reveals that she is a believer of being yourself, following your dreams even if it means "hustling" for it in the beginning. Most importantly, she also speaks on disciplining yourself to be respectful to your fans and always have them in mind.
