The purses are great.That’s about it
I agree. Nothing to write home about. I wonder when they’ll get tired of this ‘extra-extra’ witht their designs! Enough with the mermaids!
Thought I was the only one! The styles are probably meant for the runway to showcase their fabrics. But for tailors? Blah! Nothing to help them there!
The Purses are great! Maybe they could take away that ‘Vlisco’ label on it and make it a sexier ‘V’
errmmm…I doubt that tailors r meant to copy it design for design, cut for cut. I think it’s just to give them an idea on something to work with. I see a couple of things I want my tailor to work on.
FAB is the word!…im the first to comment yipeee!
covering for the amaka so here goes! NOT!!!!
Not Quite.
Let “The Amaka” Catch you!
Lol….no boo. People need to give it a rest already!

HOT, HOT Designs… good looking model and great stylist.. where can these clothes be purchased? I love all the designs….
where does one ACTUALLY buy this stuff from?
you kno! i’d like to know too. do any of these designers actually have websites you can purchase stuff from?
i’m really loving these designs
Love, love love everything!
in the world of fashion women tend to have the upper hand surely this is why
bellanaija its Tuesday already, give us something interesting. like the thing u promised last week!
beautiful.
lovely
what DON’T i love about this?????
IT’ IS ANKARA!!!….!PERIOD!
Mm-mm-mmm….my tailor is in trouble.
YES YES AND YES
First time am seeing wearable Vlisco designs.
wow, these are just lovely!! i need to sew some of these styles
i like..i like alot
Really good! 7,75/10
Lovely!
its already….i really like the pruses though.
the weave on the model is very disturbing. i hate when weaves are done in a very tacky manner. if a weave is to be worn, it should always be stylish. it looks like that was just thrown on her head.
People, easy on the “so tired of ankara” statement already… This shoot is just an ad campaign for the new Vlisco print design, its just to show people the new/latest patterns and design.
The items are actually sold on their website. http://Www.vlisco.com
They actually don’t ship to Nigeria (but they do to Niger? :S) Any Nigeria points of sale?
Luv the designs… Amazing!!
(screaming) i wld kill to have these clothes….they are lovely jare…dont beef guys
i love the designs..beautiful wearable styles. african fashion is so in now i am very proud.
Just An Advice…
