Modahnik Fall Winter 2012 Collection

 

"The Modahnik Fall Winter 2012 Collection has a vintage feel to it. It's an ode to my late mother, who had the coolest style in the 70s and 80s during Congolese' fashion heyday. A time when Congolese musicians such as Papa Wemba dressed in an elegant fashion and initiated “Les Sapeurs” movement. I really wanted to experiment with the intersection of masculine elements presented in a feminine sophisticated way; Its all in the small details, the pleating, collars, sexy cut-outs and pockets that adorn the dresses, as seen in the Double collar dress and the Pleated Sleeve Coat Dress.." - Kahindo Mateene, Modahnik Fashion Designer & Owner
