Afrocentric

WHEN thoughts turn to summer, the sun-drenched plains of Africa are never far from designers' minds.

Traditional references continue to inspire. Animal prints - particularly big-cat spots - are a perennial favourite, and this season they're scattered across flowing gowns and cocktail numbers. Safari suiting is also back, with khaki jackets, crisp skirts and white shirts still holding appeal, while Balenicaga brought modernity to the look with safari trousers featuring a techno sheen.

This season's Africana also mixes ethnic prints, raffia-work, tribal sketches and intricate beading into a modish melting pot of ancient techniques and avant-garde ideas.
