The final day closeout for AFWLA was just splendid for me, mostly because it was AMAZING and I took away so much but this was also the final show night I’d be going to during this season of fashion weeks… Wheeeew! It was bittersweet, but honestly I couldn’t have picked a better note to end on. AFW was just the right amount of professionally organized, yet super relaxed environment that I for one was certainly appreciative of after a long ass week and a half of some crazy ass atmosphere! Banana sandwhich! So it went a little suntin’ like this…

Early on in the day was a lil pop-up shop which featured on and off the runway designs by Osengwa, Koko Nanga, Midget Giraffe, Rahyma, iheartfashion, Joesfa DaSilva and Continent Creative. This I was not able to attend but I heard it went well and gave us as viewers of the collections a chance to actually purchase some looks! Yaaaaas runway outfits! The final show took place later on in the evening, with the same guiding principle of mixing African culture with African crafting. Once again, I was thoroughly impressed with the artwork (cause fashion IS ART) and felt extremely inspired and nostalgic all over again… Each designer had something so amazingly wonderful in their collections, I wanted something for myself from every single one, it was dangerous.

Overall my experience was fantastic, as I expected it would be! I look forward to next season and hopefully seeing some of YOU guys there! You. Yes, you! Hopefully y’all got some inspo and maybe even wanna create your own event! Or at least like, a top or something… I believe in you. Until next time Fashion Week(s)! Love you all!
