Timeless fashion that last is rare. The above Katja of Sweden dresses are from the ’Katja goes to Africa’ collection in 1963, shown at the Oomph exhibition at the Malmö Konstmuseum. Katja went to Africa to get inspired and found beautiful prints and textils. That would be the case even more today.
African fashion is full of colours and prints, see fashion legend Adama Paris and the young designer and TV-host Ayanda Nhlapo in her own fashion business show. African fashion is on its way to inspire the world. The Katja of Sweden dress below is one of mine, probably also inspired by Africa. However see Adama Paris’ website and you find colours and happiness.
