AFRICA FASHION

Fashion has been with man as long as man can remember...it is an identity, culture, a way of life. Everywhere you look you will see fashion, in the way we wear our hair, the way we build our homes, in our looks, even to the way we cook our meals and eat those meals. Fashion is every thing, it defines who we are , from generation to generation.
Fashion a way of Life and African Fashion, a glamour to associate with. Beautiful, elagant, nourishing, refreshing, soulfull, warm, intricate yet balanced just like its people.
Have you ever wonder, where this idea of fashion came from? If is as old as man then Fashion is man just like language food culture etc.Who was the first designer? Who was the first model to show case the first designed clothes? Fashion in my own option is a necessity just like the air we breathe or the food we eat or the need to sleep.
African Fashion has evolved and still evolving just like its people. A Fashion with a statement, with purpose and reason. From the ancient Egypt to ancient South africa, all the way to Senegal and Mali, one thing hold so sure, hat African Fashion is so diverse and unique and it will take another life time to exhaust its diversity and unquieness.

So the world had better watch out because Africa and African Fashion is here to stay...it is the next big thing.
THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT anymore for this great GIANT to surprise the world with it richness.


Maybe there is a lesson here to be learnt, never ever, look down or underestimate nobody. There is an old adage that says, "Be careful of how you treat people as you climb up the laddar because you may need them on your way down", well, something like that, i think.

Anyways, i'm so glad to be part of this wonderful continent and most importantly, part of the era when the whole world looks to Africa for inspiration.
