TREND SETTERS

For a while now, African wear has come out of fashion but fashionistas have more than ever opted for the new African look because of how far it has come and the fusion it has endured in the fashion arena.

Originally, only old village belles covered themselves with African fabric from head to toe but it’s not the case anymore. This fabric has been revered lately and is sharing the runway with top world’s class designers and gaining its own in the world of fashion. With African wear you can always make a statement because of the brightness of the fabric and variety of design which allows the designers space to be as creative as they wish.

A number of leading fashion designers are getting the opportunity to blend on the runway because of the power of the attire. Local fashion designers such as Mustafa hassanali, Ali Remtulla, Robi Morro and many more fashion designers are being recognized for their ability to take this fabric and work magic with it. Mustafa Hassanali in particular has a knack of blending the African fabric with sheer to create a unique fusion.
