I.Wear.African

The I Wear African Campaign, an African fashion initiative of African Vibes e-zine which is all about celebrating African Glamour is coming soon (18th April 2009).

A campaign about individual expression, contemporary style and cultural heritage. The goal of this campaign is to celebrate the beauty of Africa through fashion and to promote the glamour and beauty of contemporary African fashion into the social scenes. This campaign gives us an opportunity to take pride in our heritage and be proud of the connection we have with Africa.

The campaign features a number of on-the-up African designers, whose origin is dotted over the continent (mainly West Africa), and notably located in the Diaspora, namely:

Imane Ayissi – Cameroon
