Editor of Arise Magazine, Helen Jennings, is publishing a book entirely on African fashion entitled, New African Fashion. The book focuses mainly on African born and diaspora contemporary designers with chapters focusing on the history of African fashion, its textiles, influences it has had on others, and key photographers, models and designers in the industry. Jennings thought this would be the right time because after doing a bit of research she realized there was no current and up to date book on African fashion, so there was definitely a demand. The book is set to be released in October and you can pre-order it on Amazon here. This surely looks like something I would like to get my hands on.
