Rebecca's World: Simplistic Tribal Print

I get asked all the time about what constitutes African design. And I always say that it is about the essence of Africa. It is more than an indigenous print, rather it is a point of reference, a spirit, a natural fabric, a colour and yes, a print.
This dress fits that description while still being miles away from curio costume. An abstract repetitive print is very traditional Africa and wouldn't exist in a geometric way without its origins here on our continent. Something to think about?
