| Chichia London. 'Made in Dar' collection 3-print tiered khanga dress |
Chichia London was set up in 2007 by London based designer, Christine Mhando. Influenced by her Tanzanian culture, the designer re-creates the traditional East African cotton "Khanga" into quirky yet wearable styles. Christine Mhando's aim is to create pieces that are timeless rather than driven by seasonal trends.
Stunning colour combinations, eye-catching prints and intricate embellishments play a significant part in the collections. The result is an eclectic collection of modern dresses and separates.
My favourite is the "Made in Dar" collection.
