AfricasTopFive | Five African Fashion Designers that Dominate the [Menswear] Fashion Scene | London Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week Trend Alert

photoWith every Fashion Week (New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week ), comes the excitement of who, what, ‘wear’ or rather who is wearing what, or what the heck are they wearing…and why?

In honor of this massive movement, we will have our eyes on what male celebrities (especially Kanye West), artists, and fashion icons will be wearing during each prestigious Fashion Week. However we will also  be assisting them (in our minds), as their self-proclaimed virtual stylists;  educating them on African designers’ they should wear, when needing a little diversity in their wardrobe selection.

On a more serious or more business-oriented note, we’ve paid close attention to the media and mainly our friends over at Business of Fashion (BOF), and their analysis of men’s fashion.

Let’s be honest, we couldn’t help but follow ‘suit’ (pun-intended) by adding our analysis  and lending our expertise of men’s Fashion, from the perspective of emerging Africa and Luxury brands/trends.

With the emerging popularity of men’s fashion and the growing number of men  who actually care to shop, we’ve identified a few key players ;  men’s fashion designers , in and around the African Fashion Industry that should be recognized during the conundrum of fashion week occurring world-wide.
