Fashionable styles from Africa
Long live African fashion. Apparently so thought a couple of bold and groundbreaking fashion designers who decided to launch the very first Arica Fashion week in the summer of 2011. A total of 50 designers showcased their work at London’s Gibson Hall in Bishopsgate.
Ghana and Nigeria made their mark by bringing their fashion sense to center stage.
It was also an opportunity for models, new on the scene, to make a name for themselves.
The fashion industry has long drawn their inspirations from Africa’s rich culture.
The Africa Fashion Show has previously been held in Johannesburg and New York.
This marked the first Africa Fashion Week in London.
