CNN showcases top African fashion designers

The $31 billion African fashion industry will be the focus on the CNN 30-minutes magazine programme, African Voices, this week sponsored by leading telecoms firm, Globacom.
Creative stylists and designers such as Jenke Ahmed Tailly, Karim Tassi and Katherine-Mary Pichulik are expected to be featured at the show.

CNN said:  “We will start with a fashion icon out of Ivory Coast who is hoping to shake up the industry with his African heritage.
“And then we head to Morocco where a fashion designer is imprinting his city’s rich culture on crafty clothing, while also being inspired by international elements.”
Globacom, in a statement from its headquarters in Lagos, said this week’s edition is a must-watch for aspiring fashion designers to learn new trends in the industry.
