The African clothing history is one that has been in existence for ages and that is why the global fashion industry has always inculcated African fashion in all its designs and attire but without proper reference to the African input. In this blog, we will focus on African fashion, the spotlight, and ways by which African designers can use this time as a steppingstone.
Points to note.
- The progression of African designs from archaic outlook to modern acceptance.
- African designs have become a yardstick for designs and styles.
- Why African fashion is in the spotlight now
