Africa Fashion Weeks, worldwide are becoming a popular phenomenon it seems. But at the true heart of this fashion industry is Adiree, and our creative means of communicating exactly what fashion from Africa looks like.
One of our missions is to establish the definition of luxury from Africa; what it looks like, how to wear it, and why its value is far beyond the monetary weight that consumers quickly place on it. Stay tune . And watch our Africa Fashion Weeks.
Trying to remember all the beautiful designers from AFWNY 2012? You’re in luck because Adiree has added the videos from last year’s AFWNY including the runway video of Kibonen NY’s collection. The colorful collection makes you smile as each piece travels down the runway.
Check out Kibonen’s collection here:
