Q. What is African fashion to you?
A. “What makes a design African would be the fabrics, colors, print, the silhouettes, the style line, the music and the theme for the collection. African fashion has changed positively, over the years. African fashion used to be about simple, old-fashioned silhouettes like the slit and Kaba from Ghana, the Booboos, and Caftans etc. But recently, big fashion brands and celebrities like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, etc. are now wearing and using African prints, which has helped to really promote African fashion. They are shining light on the African continent and educating people that Africa is not all about the hunger and deprivation that are seen on the news. We have beautiful works, beautiful fabrics, beautiful people, rich culture and above all hospitable people.”
