WANA SAMBO CRUISE COLLECTION 2010 SAMPLE SALE

I am so elated!! my cruise collection titled "Sidewalks are Runways" is finally here!! my exhibition/sample sale is on the 19th of december 2010.
My inspiration for the Wana Sambo ‘Sidewalks are Runways’ Cruise Collection ’10 was drawn from the streets. On the sidewalks, you see every form of creativity, style and persona expressed through people’s outfits. This collection can be taken straight from the lookbook into a woman’s closet because it has a piece for every occasion. Work, play, boat cruise, chilling-at-friend’s, out to dinner, or just hanging out. I wanted to show the versatility of a collection with it still telling a story.


The shoot (for the lookbook which will be updated soon) describes the unspoken rivalry between humans, the quest for achieving more wealth, success or fame than another, which leaves us constantly on our toes or just head strong against one another. Here it’s the case of two friends who constantly want to be ahead of each other without realizing they end up doing the same things but expressing them differently. . .

R.I.P BRITTANY MURPHY...

This year has been quite a whirlwind for me! i've lost 7 people to the cold hands of death (family and friends inclusive) sometimes, i wish i could run into the next year, leaving this one behind but all i can do is wait it out. Brittany Murphy was a very bubbly person, she died of cardiac arrest at age 32. Please people, dont gve in to peer and life's pressure(s) and adductions, they always take the best of you and from us who love you. R.I.P EVERYONE WE'VE LOST IN 2009!

i-D Magazine!!

''i-D is a British magazine dedicated to fashion, music, art and youth culture. i-D was founded by designer and former Vogue art director Terry Jones in 1980. The first issue was published in the form of a hand-stapled fanzine with text produced on a typewriter. Over the years the magazine evolved into a mature glossy but it has kept street style and youth central to every issue. ''-- wikipedia.org
i love i-D cos of the concept behind the coverstory! everyone who appears on the cover has to wink! it tells such a beautiful story! love the magazine's originality!

Rookies and Dapper Gents!!

Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Asher Roth, fill in the blanks! :o). These artists have brought a virus to the music business, spreading it in form of art, fashion and music! They are insanely original in their individual styles. Their brains are extraordinary baybay! Love their stand-out plan!
