With bold prints as fierce as herself, we could not resist dubbing Ms. Mariama Bramble as our first Haitianista! Check her out..
Where: from Boston living in DC
Occupation: Marketing Professional and Owner/Founder of Brownbelle, an internationally distributed accessory brand
"My style has definitely been inspired a lot by men’s style. I love a tailored look, but I also like pretty fabrics with movement and prints, prints and more prints. So I often say my style is afro-prep. I try to work in bold pieces as often as possible, but unfortunately I do have to be practical for work. In recent years I think that I have toned down a lot and now I go for a more feminine (which doesn't always mean sexy) classic look. Overall I think my style is constantly changing, I look for things that fit my body well, mesh well with my existing wardrobe and makes me feel good."
"Brownbelle accessories are a reflection of my wild, fiercely independent spirit with a large dose of classic sophisticated style. Every piece reflects my love of vibrant fabrics, bold patterns and textures while paying homage to traditional timeless style."
