America’s Funky Sweet Heart: naKIMul

Posted 24 January, 2010 By Lola | Designer, Fashion, Plus Size

I owe this find to my new favourite blogger, you guessed it..

 my daughter.  Adajee stumbled upon an incredible find.

naKIMul pronunced (nah-KIM-u-lee): originates from Uganda it means flower.  naKIMuli is definitely a label for forward-thinking fashionistas. Designed by Tennille Nakimuli Shanae McMillan, naKIMuli is an exclusively limited quantity-produced ready-to-wear clothing line for young women. From her use of jersey fabrics to her unique silhouettes and use of colors and patterns, Tennille McMillan’s creations clearly reflect the spirit of her native Brooklyn —youthful, fresh, and funky. naKIMuli—America’s Funky Sweetheart.

Having a Nigerian backgrond I find her blend of traditional and modern fabrics extremely appealing.  Check out the pieces I plan on adding to my closet:

30033004

I’m just waiting to hear back from Tennille  see what the length is like.  If it can be altered I will surely be adding these two pieces to my closet shortly!!
