Going Wild for Tribal Prints

July 17, 2010 No Comments by Teca

Thanks to our good friends at Essence.com, we are able to peep some really cute African inspired print dresses.

I love tribal wear because it really highlights the creativity that comes out of Africa. One of my favourite outings is a Nigerian wedding. At these weddings you see ladies dressed in the most elaborate gowns with lace fabric and details that are uniquely designed for the wearer.

Gele-( a traditional head-gear generally made of crisp fabric) is wrapped in creative styles to separate those who are true stylistas from those who are really—still trying.

The tribal prints featured on Essence.com are a Western spin on African prints. Be bold and take a walk on the wild side, go ahead throw on a Gele for added drama.

Here is a sample of some of Essence.com’s picks: Visit their website to view the entire gallery:
