AQL Collection, Anita Quansah’s A/W 2011 collection..

I’m thankful that I passed by Ohemma Shadders’ blog today [http://www.shadders.net/]. On-trend and of-the-minute, the Shadders website is a must for all African fashion lovers. I was searching for info about yesterday’s African Fashion Week and noted she’d written about Ghana Rising fave, Anita Horsfall [nee Quansah ??]. One of our favourite jewellery designers, Anita Quansah’s latest AQL collection is to-live-for. Inspired by ‘Avatar’ and work by artist & designer, Valentim Quaresma- the collection has her signature, bold, fierce and sexy feel about it. I’m inspired, I hope to shoot these pieces soon.

Honestly, I never know where to start with Anita Quansah‘s hot jewellery! Her bold, handmade valiant pieces -coveted by the fash-pack, -have appeared in all the hot glossies -and I’m a huge fan. I came face-2-face with Ms Quansah at Fashion Mist 2011 -and wasn’t disappointed. Beautiful, graceful and warm, it was a pleasure to meet this great talent -and as per our conversation, -can’t wait to shoot some of the above for various projects I’m working on at present (I’ll tell you all about it closer to the time).

There is something about quality isn't there [especially quality jewellery]? You can spot it a mile off -and the older I get the less I'm prepared to compromise it....and that's why I'm soo excited by jewellery/fashion/textile/designer -Anita Quansah's beautifully embellished neckpieces, -Theda and Adaeze [above] featured in the latest German Vogue. Lovingly made by hand with vintage and recycled fabrics; -bound with chains and pearls -these neckpieces are works of art. Once a fashion insider secret [British Vogue refers to Anita Quansah's neckpieces as “Best Buys”] -these coveted neckpieces have been featured in high-end glossies including: British and German vogue, Muse, German Tush and Vision Magazine. I can't get over them -I seriously covet every single piece in Anita's latest collection -they are fabulously ‘on-trend’.
