Fashion Show: Brought to you by Chitenge

27/3/2014

Chitenge is the traditional fabric of this area of Africa, and it is absolutely beautiful! There are vendors at every market selling dozens of patterns in bright colours and prints, and you can purchase two metres of chitenge for between 1200 and 1500 Malawian Kwacha, which is equivalent to three to four Canadian dollars. As someone who loves art, colour, designing my own clothes, and “has” to walk past these stalls weekly, I ended up amassing quite the collection of chitenge! Thankfully, my housemates are similarly challenged in the area of self-restraint, and we banded together to design clothing and get it made by a tailor in the market area of the city. And, as a house full of girls is wont to do, we then had a fashion show so we could share the outcomes with you here!

P.S. The tailor is still busily working on a few (this is relative…) more items, so there may be a follow-up post in the future!

Leather products have always attracted human attention, since the Stone Age men is using leather for various purposes to everyday clothing to making leather products for special end uses like leather armor etc. Obviously leather armor is not in use now a days but leather is still looked upon for clothing purposes. There is hardly any fashion show that does not exhibit leather products in new designs which look very stylish and makes the person wearing them look more attractive.

This is definitely the best idea to get clothes from the market at cheap and get it customized by local tailors near. In that way, you can made dresses of your own choice at a decent cost.
