Lovely mix of corals

When I grow up I want to look fashionably FABULOUS as this lovely Lady! Gorgeous!

The colourful Miss Knowles! Love it!

SFW: WINNING STALL: ESKADO BIRD

So Eskado Bird won the award for the best stall! It was nicely laid out like a little boutique where you'd love to look at everything! Congrats Eskado!

SFW 3: ZAMDA GEORGE

High Slits, Neck Details were the staple of the collection. Zaidi Collection as my very good friend Zamda G likes to call it has given you just a bit 'more'

SFW 3: TAIBO BACAR

This was my favourite favourite collection, of the night! It was suede and leather perfection! Just see after the jump for yourself

SFW 3: PATRICIA MBELA

A very sexy  and lustrous collection fully with whips and all! very interesting!

I loved the necklaces!

SFW 3: GABRIEL MOLLEL

This collection, I absolutely want the mens trousers for myself! They are so funky comfortable and colourful! I want, I want, I want!

SFW DAY 3: CATHY KAMTHUNZI

SFW DAY 3: Ailinda Sawe

Day 3 was a vibrant day, set up was so great for a catwalk as it allowed you to be up close with the clothes. My only disappointment was that it was so packed that there were no sits and it was extremely hot. But I wasn't so disappointed to stand with the photographers as I got to see closer (dispite my feet being not so happy). I chose the designs I really adored of the day!

Another designer that I favoured more of the men wear than the women's wear is Ailinda Sawe

SFW 2 : ESKADO BIRD

The designer in the middle

And the winner is, Miss Doreen Estazia Noni! Woohoo! So our vote counted, she won emerging designer award and the most impressive stall award. Her collection was trendsetting rather than copied from what's already around. The finishing was excellent, and the collection is ready for orders : ) it included layering and large pockets, a very funky and edgy collection! We love it Miss Bird!

SFW 2: SONU SHARMA

From this collection, i loved these two especially the above harem trousers.

SFW 2: SAFFRON

My Favourite Model of the show

Saffron theme was yellow and black, yet another ready to wear collection

SFW 2: MANJU MSITA

This model won, male model of the year award

Manju Msita actually had women's wear too but I loved his sharpness on the mens wear

SFW 2: MADE BY AFRICA

Another one of my favourites of the night, a collection called Safari! It seems many designers wanted wearable collections. I could see myself buying a lot of these! Earth tones were dominant with a hint animal prints.

SFW 2: FRANKOO DESIGNS

The designer

The collection was edgy, it seemed frills were the main focus of the collection. Very well executed!

SFW 2: HOUSE OF ZIRIAN

One of my favourites for the night, a nicely put together collection by the Ugandan designer. I absolutely loved each piece.

SFW 2: KI2

The designer

Ki2 designs were actually quite nicely put together. Her Tie and dye combination of colours and those necklaces were just gorgeous

SFW Day 2: KEMI KALIKAWE

The very bubbly and lovely Miss Kemi's line consisted of lace and kitenge materials, it was a lovely wearable mix. I fell in love with the jewellery. Kemi's show actually started with a THT dancer in the background which was pretty artistic and exciting. Keep it up Kemi!
