Want It: Boxing Kitten

When you hear the two words Boxing Kitten, what comes to mind?

Hm, maybe two cute little stray kittens fighting for scraps in the alley way of a restaurant. 

Well in this case Boxing Kitten is nothing of that sorts, in fact it is an fastly emerging fashion brand consisting of vintage inspired pieces made with beautiful hand made West African Ankara fabrics. 

The designer Maya A. Lake - Brooklyn born & Jersey breed (lovely combo) - started the line in 2006 & since then Boxing Kitten has been seen on the foxy booties of Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Rhianna & Solange [she's definitely a fan of the line & is always spotted looking hot in the pieces] & has also been featured in top fashion mags including W & Teen Vogue. 

I love Boxing Kitten's original mix, using West African fabrics to create vintage inspired looks with a modern twist. A few of the pieces scream Dorthy Dandridge, 1950's to some pieces giving me that 80's New Wave - padded shoulder vibe. I just love how Maya takes vintage, funky & original, pops it in the fashion oven & VOILA - out comes the sweet creations of Boxing Kitten.

Get into it...
