African
Fashions and Designers Win World
Acclaim Africans
are painting the world in a kaleidoscope
of bold, vibrant color combinations and
dazzling patterns. The rich fabrics and
virtually unlimited selection of turbans
and other festive headgear, bright
scarves, colorful wraps, wearable art and
elegant gowns that brightened our days and
lit up our evenings in Morocco, Kenya,
Ethiopia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire
Uganda, Benin, Ghana, Zambia, South
Africa, Tanzania, Guinea and other African
destinations, were simply outstanding.
What's more, so were the creators. During
the past decade as publishers, we've had
the privilege of meeting several of the
brightest stars in Africa's fashion
galaxy, and thanks to the magic of
serendipity, more will surely appear in
the near future. As I've learned, in many
African societies, the choice of colors
and textiles has special significance to
the wearer. For example, hats often tell
stories of everyday life, with its
struggles, spiced by uplifting periods of
joie de vivre.
