“What do you think will define S/S 2012 for you?
A sophisticated and cosmopolitan collection with a distinctive African signature that appeals to international women.
What can we expect from your collection?
The collection thrives in contrasts. Expect a contemporary urban African mix of vibrant prints, contrasting textures and futuristic streamlined shapes.
Can you give us a progress report on your collection?
I am thrilled with the wax-print-inspired patterns and tie-dye mixes we have created. The results are lively and bold, yet polished and refined. I am looking forward to seeing the energy on the runway.
What three words describe how you feel as NYFW approaches?
A buzz of anticipation, anxiety and insomnia!” – Fati Asibuela/Arise
