OUT & ABOUT - The KISUA Pop-Up Store Goes Global

At one point the opening of the Kisua Pop-Up store in Melrose Arch resembled a high street sale. Invited guests at the launch were told they could choose an item from the KISUA collection and take it home. You can image the excitement.  Even our very own Krishen Samuel couldn't resist the temptation.  But the launch was not all - in fact it was only the tip of the iceberg.

The KISUA collection is completely designed and manufactured in South Africa using locally sourced fabrics and is entirely African produced and is becoming renowned as one of the world's top online fashion platforms. Now, not only is the Pop-Up store creating more awareness but, thanks to a stunning collaboration between KISUA and the Italian contemporary brand 8, the KISUA pop up store was launched online at YOOX.COM

The Sika kimono coat, with its graphic black and white print,
 makes for the perfect throw over.

The Mbali cropped jacket (left) has a distinctly 60s feel
while the Nala houndstooth dress celebrates Africa
thanks to its Ghanaian print.

We were thrilled to meet our friend and KISUA mentor, Sam Mensah, at the
opening of the pop-up store.

Zuraida Jardine and Penny Lebyane couldn't wait
to change into their new KISUA outfits.

Krishen chose to wear his new KISUA top at one of our
recent "Outfit Of The Day" shoots.

Many have come to know KISUA thanks to the patronage of
none other than Beyonce herself.  Beyonce has been seen out
and about in more than one KISUA outfit.

KISUA for 8 leads a new wave of cross-continental fashion collaborations that are proving pivotal in the ethical development of clothing across Africa while defining a new global style bringing together Italian elegance with African textiles and techniques.
