Vlisco Delicate Shades Collection

Vlisco has done it again . . . their latest fabric collection, "Delicate Shades" is simply fabulous.

Some of the fabrics have an almost futuristic look to them, appearing like two different prints overlaid over each other. Very fascinating. And as usual, they feature gorgeous colors with blue reigning supreme this time.

It's not too late to buy some fabric and have some new threads made for the holiday season.

Not Your Mother's Kitenge!

Wow! Who knew that such stunning designs could be made from Kitenge fabric? Both the fabric and the dress are made by Vlisco, a Dutch company that produces 4 fabric and fashion collections every year.

Vlisco's clothes are designed to inspire creativity and individuality as the company recognizes that most African women have a personal tailor. The beautiful fabrics are available for sale on their website www.vlisco.com.


I haven't had clothes tailored since I moved to the US as it is really hard to find a good tailor. But if you are lucky to have one, you can use these traditional fabrics in a contemporary way to create the perfect blend of African & Western style. For more eye candy and inspiration, check out their fabulous Ad Campaign.
