Annie EmpowerWear’s Matene Chancelle has a series of captivating collections to her belt. Her latest, Afrofusion collection was released on Africa Day on the 25 of May 2022 in the City’s Capital, Doula. This fashion collection showcases African theme designs. This collection is known as the Africa 2022 Collection, and we haven’t seen a better collection. So, let’s dive in and review the best pieces from this fashion collection!
This dress is a dream outfit for anyone who has ever dreamt of being a mermaid. That’s because it has the ultimate silhouette of a mermaid dress and it has all the colors you would want. It has a special design on the chest, which helps you show off your amazing bust. The best thing is that this breast design makes this dress suitable for light as well as heavy-busted women.
The dress has arm pieces, so your entire look feels complete. We love that the designer didn’t make the straight-sleeve statement pieces. Instead, they have used pointy sleeves, so the overall look is elevated.
Coming to the lower part of this dress is a fishtail. This fishtail will stay on the floor as you walk, which gives it a very royal look. In fact, we love the fitting it provides to your hips and waist area. This fitting embodies womanhood while making a bold fashion statement.
This is another dress from this collection that has captured our attention. It is a perfect dress for women who want to look regal and don’t want to shy away from the vibrant colors. That’s because this dress uses a jamawar-like fabric, which exudes royalty.
The dress has a slit leg design so that you can show off your legs. This means you will be able to show off your sexy body without worrying about looking over the top. We love the neckline as well. every other design is making boat-necked designs but the designer, Matene Annie Chancelle has created the V-neck, which helps show off the collar bones.
On top of everything, this dress has puffy sleeves. These sleeves add a bit of drama to the dress. They have used a shiny fabric, which makes your entire look very classy.
This might be our last piece from the collection but it is surely our most favorite one. This jacket is a promising choice for everyone who wants to bring bright colors to their wardrobe. We don’t mind saying that there is something special about the color yellow. It has a pure African printing pattern, so you will be able to pay homage to your African roots.
As far as the design is concerned, the shoulder pads add structure and sophistication to the look. In addition, there is a collar available, which adds dimension to the neck. Also, the full sleeves mean you can use this jacket for regular use as well as formal use. For instance, you can easily use this jacket for your office days.
