ARISE Africa Fashion Week

Written by Shirlene Alusa-Brown | June 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment

The Arise Africa Fashion Week went on from June 12 2009 to June 20, 2009 with a grand prize winner getting a chance to showcase their designs in New York’s Fashion Week. This was a great opportunity for the budding designers to get their work showcased on one of the most prestigious catwalks in the world.

The designers that participated came from South Africa, Madagascar, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Cameroon, Guinea, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Angola, Ivory Coast, Namibia, Martinique, Mozambique, Egypt, Botswana and Morocco. This is probably the most eclectic fashion show that the world has ever seen with a sampling of some of the best Afronista couture one could hope to find anywhere.
