After Duro Olowu wooed the world with his fantastic colorful and feminine  designs, the fashion world has been waiting for another sensation originating from Africa to take the Fashion world by storm…

His name Is Adeleke Sijuwade,a former model from Nigeria… yesterday HighSnobette got to preview his spring 2009 collection of womens wear called OLORI,at Pieces.

OLORI,Princess in Yoruba was born as Adeleke puts it" out of a series of unfortunate incidents" that made him realise that he was meant to dress women" He has been designing a men’s a men’s line for a couple of years now ,but his dresses,handmade in Nigeria keep on selling out  .

"the OLORI woman is you,her and every woman out there ,I am not consumed by a particular shape or type of  woman or a target market  a silhouette….I was inspired by Romance,Life,the beautiful colors of the Caribean and Africa.

Talking to Adeleke and his beautiful sister Ronke,you get the sense that creativity not only runs in the family,but that talent is something you either have  you don’t..Adeleke is entirely self taught..

Rihanna performed in Italy this past week and the photogs snapped some shots of her out and about, hitting the stores with her crew. This is no casual day out shopping. Yes, the dress is cute and summery, but check out her perfectly coiffed hair, the tons of accessories (LOVE the necklace), the bangin’ bag, but most of all the wicked shoes, which, okay, they look great, but are clearly designed for flossin’ as opposed to any serious fashion hunting and gathering mission.

^^Why is it that the regular folk who hang with celebs always look snarlier than the talent? Relax, hun, it aint YOU they’re trying to snap.

A couple of closer shots after the flip…

I always wondered what it would be like if all the streetwear brands we love had the means to advertise in magazines and television,If this ad by Kiser is a precursor of things to come I think we would be in store for creativity that is far from conventional…and definitely Buzz worthy…

Some of you with Psyc backrounds might be able to tell me why this tee by Modern Lovers …Like all the others in this Unisex  collection are just Irresistible….

Lois and I  always rave about how great our readers are! Because of you we can truly  say that we are Global!

Startas, a canvas footwear brand  that was created over 30 years ago in communist Yugoslavia,Is making a big comeback! the sneakers were originally created for table tennis,but later became a fashion staple.The company is still operating in the same factory  founded in 1931 and the footwear is still hand made!

Thanks Jelena !

If life could be a dream, these are the kicks you would wear in it. What can I say, with women’s product these days, Nike is just killing it.
