March 2, 2009 · 2 Comments



I am a little late on my postings following NYC fashion week 2 weeks back. However, I’ll get off my lazy hiney and promise to locate & share events as they happen. Take a look at the designers links posted and the NY Times article on the African Fashion Collections. Flickr set here on This Day Arise

Stoned Cherrie - Founded by Nkhensani Nkhosi (South Africa)

Tiffany Amber – Founded by Flake Folarin-Coker (Nigeria)

Xuly Bët (Funkin’ Fashion Factory)- founded by  Lamine Badian Kouyaté (Mali born, Paris based)

I also noticed on Xuly Bet’s show, model Grace Jones video “Corporate Cannibal” directed by Nick Hooker was playing. Here it is!
