Since our main thing here at FR is fabric, the aim of the showcase was to show everyone how you can wear "African" fabric and mix it in with your wardrobe (because we all have this thought whenever we think "African fabric". lol!!!) So, taking pieces from my and my sisters' wardrobes, I put together a show.
I also used jewelry from the FR store and some personal pieces.
BIG thanks to onyi i., sylvia m., buky o., andrew o., james o., phillipa o. for all their help with the show.
Below are pictures:
I was bummed I forgot to arrange for video and my camera was in my purse all along but here is the music I used for the runway:
1. Kefee featuring Timaya - Kokoroko
I like the "Hot like Fire" reference =)
2. d' banj - oloun maje
3. Douk Saga - Sagacité - Decalé Coupé
This video is HILARIOUS!
The next post will cover the SMWYG competition!!!

Thumbs up!
Your thinking outside the box and repurpose redesigning is quite amazing. Keep up the good work… I am going to need to come to MD to get some dresses made real soon.
Beautiful work! Wish I’d been there to witness it in person.
Loved your showcase. Brava! 
That lady in pic #14 is a professional model, if i ever did see one
