Ethiopian supermodel Liya Kebede is mostly known for gracing the catwalk.

This time we’re paying more attention to the model/actress’s fashion label lemlem. Meaning ‘to flourish/bloom’ in Amharic, lemlem has definitely taken off since it was created in 2007. Here’s our pick of the best four items you can get your hands on in their sample sale.

1.
Vibrant culottes

Are culottes still a thing? I think so.

2.
Tailored suits

Can you be ‘African fashion’ if you don’t have at least one super-vibrant print on offer? Kudos to the strong tailored suit giving this African print a more masculine feel.

3.
The simple jumpsuit

Tie-dye at 100%

4.
The cosy cover

The most comfy-looking thing we found. You probably have to be pretty close to the beach to get away with this one. Good luck!
