From Amanda Gorman in kente cloth on the cover of American Vogue, to Michelle Obama's outings in Duro Olowu, the fashion of Africa exerts a worldwide pull. Africa Fashion explores how a radical post-independence creativity sparked a cultural renaissance across the continent, when designers such as Shade Thomas-Fahm, Chris Seydou, Kofi Ansah and Nina Gessous drew on past traditions and reinvented them. Now, a new generation, such as Nigerian fashion designer Lisa Folawiyo, Ghanaian woven bag maker AAKS, and Kenyan jeweller Ami Doshi Shah, show that the African fashion scene is as diverse and dynamic as the continent itself.
