Doris & Doris

We create our own brand of women’s fashion utilising African fabrics.

We started making our African print dresses in 2005 for a Friday & Saturday spot in the Arts & Craft market in Brixton, London, where we still trade in the great British weather- come rain come shine. Markets have been an invaluable learning ground for us. We see what works first hand, and there’s great satisfaction in seeing our designs work for all types of women.

We are inspired by the variety of designs and colours in traditional African fabrics. Our style is a blend not only of African and British influences but traditional clothing from all over the world. Bohemian, modern, funky and simple – vibrating from the 60’s and 70’s, striking, stylish women, (Pam Greer, Angela Davis, Betty Davis spring to mind), music straight from the soul, streetlife, sun-soaked continents, the good things in life …all coloured by the vibrant and varied flavours of Africa.

We joined the Fashion Capital family in October 2010. Our aim is to take our designs to a wider audience.
