Full bloom

We first discovered Lemlem while browsing through the J. Crew Spring catalogue. The gorgeous smocked shirt that originally caught our eye is sold out now, but heading to Lemlem's website gives us more beautiful options:

The light smocked shirts, ponchos, and dresses along with the colorfully striped scarves are all the brainchild of Liya Kebede, supermodel and world health ambassador, who brought to life a vision of connecting the talents of Ethiopians and the international fashion market. We're thrilled that J. Crew is in on this too- the more publicity and more breakage into the mainstream consumer industry, the better. Support this amazing vision for the flourishing job markets of Ethiopia- visit Lemlem.com.

Always looking into the meré,
