French-based designer Natacha Baco has released another vibrant line of womenswear titled the Muse Collection. Featuring bold colors and vibrant patterns, this collection is among this season's most coveted lines.
No stranger to the use of Ankara fabric, Baco constructs every garment within this line using the Africa-sourced material. Following her brand motto, "grow your style, cultivate your difference," Baco showcases an array of designs featuring a flawless style very unlike other collections seen this season. The garments within this lively line include fitted dresses with plunging 'v' details as well as sophisticated cut-outs atop close fitting jumpsuits.
The Muse Collection is yet another clear example of Baco's Africa aesthetic as it popularizes African culture and transform it into wearable pieces of art that can be styled for everyday occasions.
