Describing the fashion weeks in Africa, the New York based organization said: “The continent of Africa is a fashion hub of distinct apparel and design.  Its designers are not limited to what the world expects African design to look like, and they never cease to amaze.”
“Some of these designers have partaken in some of Africa’s finest fashion displays, and we’re going to throw out a few that you should always keep an eye on.”
Here is the ‘Africa Fashion Week New York’ analysis of the fashion shows in Africa.
