Trendy Fashion Week Spotlight - ARISE African Fashion Collective


ThisDay magazine not only formed a magnificent union with ARISE when they launched a fashion-forward informative publication that bears the same name but their collaboration on the catwalk is testimony to a thriving working relationship and was an inspiration to the fashion community. Attention was paid to easy flowy fabrics with strong accents on colors and patterns. Africa is a continent known for mouth-watering palettes and stunning drapery and prints and there was a lot of that showcased on the runway. There was also attention paid to intricate designs that featured ruffles, pleats and form fitting details. It was the perfect fusion of the ethnic and western mentality. And it was a thunderous success.
