I designed this peplum top with the new blue Dashiki fabric from Vlisco. I paired it with my fave white culotte jumpsuit. This is my idea of effortless cocktail attire. It is sophisticated, different and totally easy to put together.

A big Thank You to Vlisco for partnering with me on this collaboration!

I was beyond excited to have the opportunity to work with Vlisco fabrics. Vlisco is the premier African fabric producer so this is obviously beyond major!

The Dashiki is so popular now and as an African, that makes me proud. But first just a little history about the original design that all began with Vlisco.

The Dashiki design, also known as Angelina, was inspired by 19th century Ethiopian tunics. The design was created 50 years by Toon van de Manakker for Vlisco; it is a true Original Vlisco design.

Vlisco just launched the Dashiki in a brand new colors and I got to design three outfits using the new light blue hue. This was such an exciting process especially with an iconic design. Over the next week I will be uploading different looks.

I'm beyond excited to share the first look with you! This is a sexy outfit that I will definitely be wearing to parties this festive season. Check out Vlisco for my interview with them!
