*FaShiOn In AFriCa..* (welcome back M.V.)

It's been quite long guys..

I'm sorry it's my first time... :P

I had to reorganize my research, my thoughts so the

aim of this blog to be more obvious and in the

same time to make it more interesting as far as the views are "STRIKING"...(ha!)

The previous posts were about Africans fighting for a better future of their countries...

Showing that there is the will and in the future ,step by step, Africa is going to transform

into the best place to live and invest...

As i mentioned before, I am studying as a fashion designer, so i have to have some fashion in my blog...

;)

Africa is a place with gorgeous traditional dresses,but not only ;) The colors, the prints, the accessories,influenced from nature, animals, flowers.. 

THE RIGHT PLACE TO BE INSPIRED!!
