We are totally loving all the clean lines and delicious colours on the runway. It seems as though many of the designers are embracing fluidity and the beauty of the female form, basically letting the garments fit and float effortlessly.
Tonight, the biggest showcase of African fashion at the Spring 2012 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will take place as the “Made in Africa: By ARISE Magazine” show featuring a cross-section of African design talent including Lanre DaSilva-Ajayi, Jewel by Lisa, Asibelua, Bunmi Koko, Tsemaye Binitie, Pierre- Antoine Vettorello and Klûk CGDT will take place at the 5PM tonight (US Eastern Time) at the Avery Fisher Hall in New York.
Ahead of this grand event, BN will take you on a quick (but very interesting!) journey through the last few days in New York. We have heard the whispers from the fashion elite, we have spotted many of our favorite African fashionistas out and about and, we have attended fashion shows and also spotted many stylistas wearing pieces by African designers.
Let’s go!
