Here is another African designer to know, Washington Roberts. Born in Nigeria but now reside in New York, Washington was influenced by his grandmother Beatrice who was a devout seamstress. For his Fall 2010 collection, Washington drew his inspiration from photos of beach rocks. The shapes and the layering of the stones on top of one another made him think of drapes. The textures of the beach rocks also induced him to combine different fabrics together, fabrics such silk and wool, silk jersey and Crepe back satin silk.
Here is a quick look from his Fall 2010 collection. The collection is very feminine, elegant and eye catching. I am very much in love with it's fluidity, the simple color palettes and shapes. These are definitely my fave looks from the bunch. Second and third looks above remind me of Chloe. I love.
