Fashion Cities Africa
In a searing 2012 Guardian op-ed, Hannah Azieb Pool took Western fashion designers to task for their so-called African-inspired clothing. Can you imagine anyone describing a fashion trend as "European-inspired?" Of course not. 'Dear Fashion, ' she wrote, 'Africa is a continent, not a country.
Filled with interviews of leading African fashion designers, stylists and commentators, alongside It's meaningless.' Now, with Fashion Cities Africa, Pool aims to correct the misconceptions about African fashion, providing key context for contemporary African fashion scenes and capturing the depth and breadth of truly African fashion.Tied to the Fashion Cities Africa exhibition at the Brighton Museum, the book gives much needed attention to four key African fashion scenes: Nairobi, Lagos, Casablanca and Johannesburg - one from each region of the continent.
