Design Indaba 2013
It was a busy day yesterday, a complete overwhelm of colours, shapes, patterns, people and design items…wow! I couldn’t talk or walk anymore.. But the buyers day is a much needed part of the expo, as one has the time to meet and greet, to look and gape at all the creativity around. Yes some exhibitors are always there with similar styles as the previous years, as this is their opportunity to sell their products, but for me the beauty lays in the discovery of the unexpected and fresh. There is something in the air that makes one want to be part of, inhale it and immerse in it. Here are some first impressions as well as items that stood out for me, some to include in my online shop and wholesale catalogue.

Elephants
These beautiful elephants are my latest favourite ceramic items made by the artist Shirley Fintz. Love the sculpture, but the lamp maybe even a little bit more.. Soooo clever!

Stella Jean
This Italian born designer with Caribbean heritage fuses the two opposing cultures together in a very special way. The result is feminine, beautiful, playful and elegant – simply said. Her latest collection has an African feel to it and speaks its own language.. It leaves admirers speechless! It’s soooo up my alley… I’m in love!

African Collections
Its very exciting to see international designers combining African print and their own collections.. I fell in love with the latest Marni collection for H&M or the Burberry Prorsum Resort collection..
The latest discovery just blew my mind.. its from the Italian fashion designer Stella Jean (see next post)!
