VALENTCIA by VALERIE MWANGO

THE CHINAFRO DRESS

Ladies, ever wondered what to do with that leftover African print material stashed in the back of your closet?
Well, you can make another dress. Better yet, you can create a fusion of themes you like to make another dress!
This adorable piece, designed by my sister Valerie Mwango, is an example of a slight fashion junction between China and Africa. I like to call it the Chinafro dress.

The colour interplay of green and purple on the fabric brings about an elegant yet laid back feel, while the standing Chinese collar and asymmetrical neckline gives the dress a signature pop. The sleeveless and short A-line bottom both put a classic finish to it.
Accessories such as the black leather belt, beaded neckpiece, wooden bangles and sassy heels are added for that extra oomph, with an attitude!
