Am super happy and excited *read hyper* that I can’t even calm myself down so as to get to the -sharing the good news- part!
AjePomaa Design Gallery
AjePomaa Design Gallery Spring/Summer 2012 collection; FEARLESS EVOLUTION. The inspiration for this collection was taken from the silhouette of the Great Gatsby from the period of the 1920s. Silhouettes then, represented a lighter and free spirited time. This new collection modernizes the fashion of the roaring twenties by adding a burst of color using color blocking and intense vibrant prints.
Fearless Evolution represents the AjePomaa Gallery woman as bold and reborn, having evolved from her past self. The use of chiffon fabric represents a light and unrestraint feel, combined with bold complex wax prints, to show an explosion of vibrant colors such as canary yellow, heather grey, apple green, bright blue and burnt orange. This represents an intense evolution. Adding soft detailing such as neck ties, knife pleats, and flowing silhouettes gave a bit of feminine panache to the collection; a contrast to the androgynous style of the Twenties era.
