Who is the Christie Brown woman and what is her unique point of view? For Ghanaian Creative Director Christie Brown, the brain behind the Ghana based design house, she is a woman who seamlessly combines “modernity with tradition,” “contemporary with antique,” and “personal style with the right touch of Africa.” Staying consistent with her brand’s ethos, Brown delivers a Spring/Summer 2016 collection that transports us to the 19th and early 20th century western fashion when hour glass silhouettes reigned, status mattered, and women occupied traditional roles as homemakers.
Reflecting the contemporary and modern, she brings us back to a modern African society where women are powerful, have many roles in corporate Africa yet are still demure and do not shun their femininity. It is a clever juxtaposition of cultures delivered in fabric choices and colors that convey sensuality, sexiness and strength. As the designer puts it, it is a collection that beckons you to “let your inner princess out.” Check out some of our winning looks and visit www.ChristieBrown.com for more details.
