Discover designers shaping the future of African fashion right now.
“This collection was inspired by the Dahomey Amazons and the Akan warriors of their respective empires. It's a fantasy on cross-cultural pan-Africanism based on our shared history: I wanted to showcase matriarchy, strength and power transferred from our mother ancestors to the new generation.
What does the future hold for African fashion? It’s taking place right now, and slowly becoming integrated into more mainstream fashion and design narratives. I don’t think you can completely conflate the African diaspora/expat community and those working from bases on the continent, be it Lagos, Dakar or Johannesburg, but, they are inter-linked. Arise serves as that bridge, creating a connection between the African diaspora, the local African design scene and the more mainstream fashion world.
The most important thing about African fashion right now is that it’s finally not seeking approval, but announcing itself unapologetically. It is being presented in so many diverse and different ways that exhibit the many points of views and cultural influences that make up the continent. What is also comforting is the fact that there is a growing, receptive audience for what is coming out of the continent, as well as from the diaspora.
