Modahnik Is Top In African Inspired Fashion

Recently African clothes have started spreading out to the world especially in U.S thanks to some creative African designers. The  clothesline currently hitting headlines in African clothing is Modahnik which has combined different African cultures and added some modernity to their designs; the result is fabulous.
The founder and designer of Modahnik, Kahindo Mateene is not so new to Africa. Being the daughter of a diplomat her family has travelled to different parts of Africa. Kahindo traces her roots to Congo (DRC) but she was born in Kampala, Uganda. She has also lived in Ethiopia, Uganda, Nigeria, Niger, and Kenya plus she ha travelled. That might explain why Modahnik has succeeded to satisfy a wide variety of African cultures with their designs.
I have to admit I love Kahindo's passion and I will always be one of her biggest fans. The fact that Modahnik is also featuring in great programs like Project Runway should be prove of a great work of art. Check out a few of my favorite Modahnik designs below:
(Above) African inspired with a cool color scheme. I would definitely wear this to a cocktail.



I think one of the greatest strengths Modahnik has is color. They always get it right.
