Lady Bo Peep Fashion
Red Reigned in the Taibo Bacar at Arise Africa Fashion Week 2009
These red hot images are from Taibo Bacar at Arise Africa Fashion Week 2009 that took place in Johannesburg, South Africa a few months back. While the entire collection was red, the pieces varied dramatically in their shape and style, ranging from Little Bo Peep-esque frilly dresses with bonnets to sharply tailored suits with stringy top hats. Aside from the consistent shade of red, another theme at the Taibo Bacar show was hats, from floppy accent pieces to Southern belle bonnets.
