Fashion from the African continent has burst onto the world scene with effervescent vibrancy, inspiring creativity everywhere, from haute-couture to street style. From the runway in Lagos and the Afropunk festival in Johannesburg, to the 'image makers' of Marrakech and the influencers of Dakar or Accra, a new generation of African fashion designers, photographers, bloggers, and hair and make-up artists are redefining the aesthetic contours of the continent. Audacious, humorous, disruptive, and innovative are the bywords of these young creatives who, while drawing upon and revalorizing their heritage, offer an ultra-contemporary new perspective. 2022"
