Coz fashion is expression, passion, addiction...

During this week, while I was doing my research ,online, about African fashion and fashion in Africa, i was always "stepping" into photo shoots inspired by African clothing. 
My previous post had this theme, but, once again, i couldn't hold myself not to upload some more gorgeous pictures..
:P


These are from a very famous,American magazine named "TIME".
Here it comes!

Take a "bite"..

African fashion/ style is vibrant, complex, textured , colorful, soulful, regal, original, but most of all unapologetic! These are the key words for motivation, as a fashion designer*

And now, let's go straight to "business" ! haaa..

Africa's investing opportunities!

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (born June 13, 1954) was appointed in July 2011 as the new Minister of Finance for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Prior to this appointment, she was the Managing Director of World Bank (October 2007 - July 2011) and has also held the position of Finance Minister and Foreign Minister of Nigeria, between 2003 and 2006. She is notable for being the first woman to hold either of those positions. She served as finance minister from July 2003 until her appointment as foreign minister in June 2006, and as foreign minister until her resignation in August 2006. Okonjo-Iweala was considered as a possible replacement for former World Bank President, Paul Wolfowitz.

In this video she represents,Africa. "There is the will and there are the statistics that prove that Africa is changing, have changed", she says. 

In the end, she gives some examples of African women of how they built their businesses.

A very interesting example is Adenike's Ogunlesi,a Nigerian woman who founded the brilliantly-named children's clothing business, Ruff ‘N' Tumble, in Lagos in 1996. It has become a great success story and exports along the West African coast. 

Intelligent business woman and most of all she has THE perfect target group for her designs..

"40% of Nigeria's population, are children!"

So my dearest, readers/ fashion designers.. In the middle of  West's economy collapse...

Here is the solution!

;)

Stay tuned!!
