One of the things that make online shopping a nightmare at times, is the fact that Online Stores have become quite reluctant to send things into Africa. That’s all changing now, with Online Store Fifi & Moose’s concept of supplying Africa with amazing, trendy and current fashions.
This is what Business Development Manager of Fifi & Moose, Desiree De Souza, had to say:
“Fashion, is daring to be different, wearing it and loving it. There is a big difference between wearing an outfit and an outfit it wearing you.This season sequins is going to go mad every man and his dog will be wearing it so my advice is buy it now before the housekeeper is wearing it. Also if you are a little conservative with your fashion then why not splash some colour with the all important shoes. We at Fifi & Moose try to make the shopping experience easy simple and just a click away. Good things will always come to those wait so wear it if it makes you feel good.

Award winning Supermodel Kate Moss, is one of the longest-lasting supermodels in the industry. Despite the many personal setbacks that the press have sometimes turned into social issues, Kate Moss is still the most sought after model to date. She has appeared on over 300 magazine covers, one of the shortest models in the industry is said to be the ultimate designer muse. Design brands such as Gucci have been inspired to create collections that have been inspired by Kate Moss alone.
Her modeling career began at 14, being discovered at JFK airport and has been a cover girl since. She became the introduction of the new supermodel variety, which was different from more fuller figured models like Cindy Crawford and brought along the tom-boyish, super-skinny and not so much about beauty as much as one looks on a fashion spread. Models and the creativity of the lens go hand in hand, which is one reason why Kate Moss was relevant then and is still as relevant today. She is the kind of model a designer or photographer can do anything with. This explains why she has been the face of most designer brands, particularly Gucci , Dior, Dolce & Gabanna, Versace, and Calvin Klein, amongst many others. She is one of the most credited trend setters of note, who puts together looks that are so amazing, that even not so skinny want to look like her.
In 2007, Kate launched a Topshop collection across all the Topshop stores, which include clothes, shoes and accessories, that have yet again defined new trends in the UK. She is a regular in most international magazines, photos are taken of her and her style scrutinized even when she does shopping, so I doubt there will be any slowing down of the Kate Craze, she defines what we know as supermodels and trend-setters today.

For a man who has been practically working in the fashion industry since the age of 16, Alexander McQueen seems to get bigger by the year. From his early years on Savile Row, making suits for the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles to traveling to and working in Milan, returning to the UK in 1994 to start studying Fashion, only to end up doing his Masters because of his vast experience, working for leading brand Givenchy as a head designer, this design muse has almost done it all.
After winning the British Designer of the Year four times as well as International Designer of the year, his career shot upwards and gave him several partnership opportunities such as the 51% acquisition of McQueen by the Gucci group, in which he is the creative director of the company. He has since collaborated with Puma to create a collection of sneakers and MAC cosmetics to create the McQueen Collection under the leading cosmetics brand.
In 1998, target announced McQueen as one of its first designers to create designer collections as collaborations with the store in which the McQ line offers a young and vivacious collection that appeals to the masses. His perfume collection has become one of the most sought after fragrances, with MyQueen being one of the UK’s leading perfumes to date.
McQueen’s signature clutch collection with its skull-shaped clasp closure is quickly becoming a cult classic (almost literally)…I love the bags, but I am yet to understand what the skull is all about. Nonetheless, the most street-smashing clutch I have seen years. There will always be more from McQueen….

Red never fails to make it in the HOT LIST, and it makes it easy for me because its one of my favorite colors. Red has become more bold because not its ok to do a complete red look. Whether it’s a completely bold RED look, or small splashes of this enigmatic color, you are sure to turn heads.
Below are some the people who look totally HOT in RED LIPS….
Red dresses have a way of making women not only look sexy, but also unforgettable. Inasmuch much as the song “Lady in Red” is embedded in our subconscious, we feel just as good in a red number.
If there is any shoe designer i am crazy about, it’s Christian Louboutin. That sexy Red heel….is……..breathtaking!
I love beautiful adverts, and one of my favorite recents is the 2010 Gucci Cruise Campaign, featuring leading supermodel Natasha Poly. It is refreshing, bold and very nouveau, adding a lingering sense of desirability.
