African Fashion Week
Comments (0) 
Though the African fashion week ended on the 3rd of July we have just had a look at some of the interesting , there were a number of very interesting shows, however one of the standout shows was that of the South African designer David Tlale, this young man has consistently produced stytlish and creative designs , while Deola Sagoe seemed to produce a standard set of signature dresses though not as edgy as David’s. Xuly Bet produced another set of designs in mono colour. Black was the sum total of these set of designs that where potentially eye catching including, overall it was a good show and a lot of the designers turned up and delivered, there is one area though that I believe might need to be addressed going forward and that is the area of Indigenous Styling ; this concept refers to styles that have been perpetuated for quite a few decades and in some case a few years centures, these creations where as a 
result of fashion and functionality, the usual style of the modern interpretation of 
African fashion are catwalk concepts infused with fabrics used by africans such as these wonderful pieces by Koketso Chiepe and Christie Brown, right and left, but it will be nice to take a concept like BUBA and IRO (a Yoruba traditional style for women in the west of Nigeria) and use it a concept to create different designs.
