African Prints re-defined in Shirley’s ADAMS APPLE

I was going through my favorite fashion site shadders.net, and I came across a feature on the African Prints in the movie, Adams Apple (by Shirley Frimpong-Manso, Sparrow Productions) and I thought; ‘oh, that’s a good idea’. So I dug them (Adams Apple – the Movie) on Facebook. I’m impressed to see African Print Fabric being promoted in Ghanaian movies..I smell progress for African Fashion

…Okay so I’m gonna skip ‘details’ of the movie and zoom (without guilt) to my favorite part: photos of the cast in African Print Fabric Clothing.

What do you think..?

The movie premiers on 21 st April at the National Theatre. I’m not gonna buy a ticket but I’m definitely gonna get a ticket to watch the movie…with my ‘feminine-powers’ (of course) You might wanna revise your budget for the next few weeks, if you’re on my list of BOYFRIENDS. lolx
