African Fashion Week NY

Hi everyone,

I would like to present to you the African Fashion Week of New York. This special event has been created during the summer of 2010. This event became such a success that the New York Mayor, Mr. Bloomberg officialised the second week of July as the cities official African Week.

Africa is full of resources and talents. The event founder and also the Adiree Fashion Agency founder, Mrs Adiat Disu decided to create it to show a side of Africa that most of the people don’t know about.  It also helps to promote African designers with their unique style and colourful fabrics.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to participate in it yet, but it’s always interesting to discover it more by the website. I suggest you to go look around!
