Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week – Xuly Bet
Lamine Badian Kouyaté a.k.a. Xuly Bet had quite an inspired collection. It also helped that Grace Jones, the controversial Jamaican model/actress/singer, was willing to strut his designs down the catwalk.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week – MOMO
Fati Asebuela is a Nigerian designer with a great eye for the fabulous and the unique. She was one of the designers featured at the ThisDay/Arise Magazine African Fashion Collective.
