The Mataano twins

So today at work while taking a short breather from boiling down a Texan aerospace sector directory, I went on my favorite break site, CNN. I was thrilled to find this story and just had to write about it. It's about a pair of Somalian twins who fled their country to escape civil war, settled in the US and created a clothing line:

I have always thought African designs are really beautiful because they like colorful pieces (like Californians do!) and always create unique patterns. Check out the site at http://www.mataano.com/ to find some cool items. I did have to dig a little-- some of them aren't as African as one would expect-- but the ones that are look incredible! My favorite collection is Spring 2009.
