African Flavor Hits Brooklyn Fashion Weekend!

People say that fashion is dead.  I wonder who told that lie.  Last night I was invited by Christian Ruart to a private fashion presentation.  These are my absolute favorite pieces from the one and only Lea Mono Haute Couture fashion house. Albertine Odimba Bongo is the daughter of Dabani Odimba Bongo, the first lady of Gabon.  She is specialized in fashion design internationally with a remarkable resume of gown design for Queens and Princesses in Africa and Arabic Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Senegal, Ivory Coast, New York, Italy, Asia, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, and of course Gabon.


Lea Mono was founded in Libreville Gabon and designs both men's and women's clothing. This prestigious fashion house has been granted two international awards due to the company's outstanding achievements in fashion design. Those awards were The Best Trade Name presented in 1996 and World Quality Commitment in 1997.

I have to admit, when the model stepped out in that red/gold dress in the second picture it took my breath away but now I'm loving the dress in the third photo.  Do you have a favorite?
