I think it is safe for me to say I'm in Love!

The Funky Grooves collection draws from Vlisco‘s proud history, inspired by global urban culture and couture craftsmanship. It’s a collection of contrasts, with edgy street wear influences reinterpreted through a lens of pure glamour. The new collection is a melting pot of ideas, using new colours to update Vlisco’s heritage designs, and classic Vlisco techniques to create new looks.

Raw, geometric lines, traditional wrap shapes, bold metallic studs and edgy industrial hues come together to create a modern vibe. The collection’s colours range from earthy browns, brassy golds and bronzes, to brick reds and shocking pinks, and fresh acid blues and greens. It all comes together in the Funky Grooves collection, for a look that is bold, punky and original, yet feminine and effortlessly easy to wear.

The new Funky Grooves fabrics will also form part of a fashion & accessories collection, which will be available at selected Vlisco boutiques from August 2012.

lol! you girls are so funny.

So thats a NO shey? Mscheeeeew

Too much!!

It's not an everyday wear, not even for an event.

Well it depends on whose wearing it. If you like attention, it'd be perfect. If you hide from attention, it'd be a . . . catastrophe.

Ije ayam shy o. I think these clothes/color would look better on people with extroverted personality. They need to be shown off lol.

Although you're right. Very nice designs, especially the last yellow one.

The models are scarylooking

tjskii: The models are scarylooking

Dats y dia models.

It's all part of d whole beyond ordinary theme.

I certainly see myself wearing most of these even to work! I guess its all about attitude, if you can pull it off then why not?

No need running away from colours if its done right

tjskii: The models are scarylooking

Designers want attention on the clothes and not the model. If you find yourself only looking at the model then the designer has failed in his job.

Vlisco’s latest striking ‘Funky Grooves’ collection; and recently fashionistas, press members, dignitaries and VIPs were treated to seeing these visual treats on the runway with three exclusive fashion shows – a first for the 166-year old Dutch company known for its luxury fashion fabrics.

The first show hosted by super-comedian Jedi was held at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos on 2 September, where the stunning Funky Grooves fabrics were simply draped and tied on the models for the first catwalk, and then shown as completed outfits from Vlisco in-house designers in the second and third catwalk. Lagos designers Ojoma Ocheja Sanusi of AEEA (Aesthetically Eclectic Eccentric African) and Caterina Bortolussi of Kinabuti (www.kinabuti.com) presented their own fabulous Funky Grooves designs in the fourth and fifth catwalks. There was more in the form of entertainment though as Project Fame season three winner Chidinma belted out her hit songs.
