AW Fashion: Bold prints, bold women

There is nothing that All Woman Fashion (AWF) loves more than a confident woman, and it certainly takes one to wear the latest trend of bold prints seen at Caribbean Fashion Week 2017 (CFW). Take a walk on the wild side with us and browse our favourites of CFW’s daring designs.

Dancehall designer Earl ‘Biggy’ Turner did not disappoint with his line. His patchwork denim pieces seemed reminiscent of Tom Ford’s renowned denim collection. We recommend pairing with a crisp white shirt to balance out these bold statement pieces.

Designer Sandra Kennedy seemed in a nostalgic mood as she presented her “Bohemian Rhapsody” collection, which she said was inspired by her coming of age in London in the ’70s. She describes it as her “best collection ever”. The collection bore a resemblance to Pucci’s notoriously bold patterns. We enjoyed the voluminous pieces that made no apologies about mixing several patterns. Channel your inner flower child and grab them while they last!

For afro-centric fashion brand New Africa Nation, the contrast of bold prints with clean cuts gave a professional yet playful feel, perfect for the afro-conscious individual. The line offers clothes for women, men and children. The brand’s name originates from the Great Ashanti empire of Ghana meaning king or queen. We certainly agree that the line is fit for royalty.

For swimsuits, we suggest you browse the collection LeeAnn Designz by Suzilee Chambers. A patterened one-piece and an ultra-feminine frilly two-piece were our top picks.

These statement pieces are AWF-approved. So, take a deep breath if you must, and then take the plunge with one of these bold numbers!.
