5 Posted August 13, 2009 "We drew inspiration from our childhood & SOMALIA" ? LMAO! The dresses are GORGEOUS but there is NOTHING Somali about them! That is an outright ridiculous claim! I would wear all of the stuff I saw, they were very nice. None of the stuff were (too) short. The only thing I'd do if I were them is make the models wear separate sleeves with the dresses (or long shirts underneath to cover the arms & neck area). What I'd love to tell my fellow beautiful, ambitious Somali sisters is: you CAN be successful, amazing, gorgeous and do a lot of great things, without compromising your religion (i.e taking off your hijab or flashing flesh). If anything, people will respect you more. Sisters, we can have it all! This world AND the next! xoxo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5 Posted August 13, 2009 " a nice dress in velvet or silk and looooong not like these crazy trashy clothes you see in the stores." Bint, I know! Lets hope they don't cost a fortune either! I personally can't stand new designers who dare charge as much as chanel et al. It's like, these old fashion giants have been there for ages, you know? They own the right to rip people off! And not only that but they're so good they make you hate everything they've designed at the end of the season. Now THAT is exceptional talent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And hope you help your wax-kala-jeedjeeda-o o-birbirqaya-wearing somali sisters dharka Siiriya iyo indonisia ha ka nastaane bale I'm not a fan of birbiriq but I dare say Somali girls in general dress waaay better than guys. I don't blame you though, you poor guys don't have anyone to help you, so you leave it to films like Save the Last Dance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
