African Fashion Week held in London - 2012

This is a photo taken from a stall at the African Fashion Week that was held in London, 2012. It shows a range of bright and colourful accessories.

This is a closer view of the stall above. It shows that chunky bangles and hoop earrings are very fashionable in the african style. Lots of bright colours and unusual patterns are used.

I fell in love with this photo because each bangle shown is very unique and colourful and the designs are all different. I like the idea of the chunky bangle.

This photo shows a headband that goes around the top of the head with yet again, very bright colours! It looks a bit like a sports sweat band as they are worn in a similar way. There is also a similar piece around the models neck yet with a completely different pattern on it. I like how the model is weaing large earrings, yet look suttle due to the colour. This all goes very well together.

These bangles are beautiful. They look so strong and bold and really give out a statement. Even though they are all of different colours and designs, they match perfectly.

I chose this image because of the models hair style. This is my favourite hair style that I have come across in this project. I love the way they have used a large bun at the front side of the head instead of in the middle at the back. Also i find it very clever how they have wrapped fishtail plaits around the bun. It gives it a very unique look.

These three images were chosen as they are all completely different outfits. I like how the colours have all been mixed and matched together. Also the lengths are very different - The first photo has a low neck and long length, the second photo has a high neck and long length and the third photo has a unique open top with short shorts. The third photo the model is also wearing round sunglasses and chunky heeled boots.
