First on the ILA update line up is Anita Quansah. A few months ago, we documented a work-in-progress African Print bib necklace by the curator - the first of it's kind from the designer.
Painstakingly created over days, weeks and sometimes even months, each Anita Quansah piece demands a premium price...and quite rightly so.
Take a look at the detail on these beautiful Ankara creations:
 |
| Beautiful beading on the finished piece |
 |
| Each piece features intricate beading produced by hand! |
 |
| Embellished collar neck piece |
 |
| Coupled with another piece from the Anita Quansah collection |

| Victorian style neck piece with African print fringing |

Work-in-progess updates made by Anita herself have been posted on the Anita Quansah Facebook fan page. Here's what she had to say about her latest work:
"Inside designers work process
For the latest neck pieces and collars, I've played with lots of embellishments and colours. Contrasting intricate beading with prints to create that ultimate statement collar. I have carefully picked out colours that compliment the neck piece...Styling Tip: Wear over t-shirts, dresses and even jackets and coats."

We can't wait for more of what the Anita Quansah line has to offer in 2013!
I am absolutely fascinated by these works of art. I would especially like to purchase the embellished collar neck piece coupled with another look from the Anita Quansah collection. I visited the website, but was unable to find the two pieces, please advise on how to locate.
