Lira Paints LA Red With Sylvester Falata

I got in touch with the brilliant Sylvester Falata regarding the creation Miss Lira was looking all kinds of FEROSH in, last night at the BET awards. This is what he had to say:

“Lira and I opted for a very simple and whimsical silhouette. I wanted to create a dress that was authentically African but still modern and timeless. This is what Sylvester Falata is all about.

Lira needed a dress that proudly showed that she was a Proud African and South African so we hand beaded hundreds of beads on to the fabric. We experimented around with a lot of traditional beads and in lots of colours that are reflective of South Africa and our many cultures. I also incorporated Swarovski crystals just to give it a modern feel. The beading on the shoulder is inspired by the traditional Ndebele patterns and we also got some inspiration from Mam Mirriam Makeba who inspires quite a few of our creations. Lira finished off the look with Maria McCloy red Dashiki clutch.”

Lira For Sylvester Falata Power Designer-Muse Affair

This has to be one of the first solid muse-designer affairs that have been going on for eons that really stood the test of time. Lira and Sylvester Falata designs seems so sincere, a mutual share of values and pooled an immense amount of loyalty to one another. It wouldn’t come as a surprise to discover that this setting is really something that just happened and not bind by some hefty service level agreement paper work (or I could be wrong). Maybe I should get in touch with either one of them and find out what the deal is; and get their secret recipe that maintained for some many years thus far.

Lira; wardrobe is almost synonymous with Sylvester Falata designs (well for commercial social and performances I suppose) you hear “Lira will be performing” and automatically you anticipate a SF design she will be wearing. I believe they have reached the stages of; top of mind brand recognition and brand loyalty amongst themselves and broader scope of consumers.

I came across these recent images of Lira clad in… You guessed it, an accentuating bodycon maxi dress in Kelly green with shoulder cut out detail. Not too sure what this is for but Miss Thang is WERKING that number! The Afrique inspired accessories paired with just takes this humble dress to higher grounds!

Lira is my South African Diva of Choice, I just adore her! Her unassuming nature, talent and that ever bright welcoming smile is just beyond me. Definitely has that star quality, she is a kind person you just want to encounter from a stone throw away and not really make contact with her cause you do not want to be believe she is a human being and has flaws as that might spoil the whimsical mystery for you.
