Christie Brown is a ‘Fashion Africa’ featured brand that is synomynous with ladylike elegance. A reputable brand sent up by designer Aisha Obuobi and seems to be growing from strength to strength with every collection getting better, season after season. Aisha talks about her journey in an interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9ccNtyag1k

For AW12 collection this too is seen. Entitled X.UTRA the collection is about the artistic fashion world constantly feeds on freedom of expression and need for experimentation. It is only the forced control in “structure” that allows art to emphasize how sophistication and complexity in detail can co-exist with simplicity, discipline and bare bone basics. Underneath the asymmetric structures of the XUTRA garments, lives sheer fluidity and movement. Just as architectural plans serve a functional and aesthetic purpose, this collection showcases the true intention of both function and fashion: Multi-dimensional, yet wearable. For Christie Brown, this collection represents the essence of our “XUTRA”.
