Beyond Fashion
African Fashions: A beautiful reality
It’s not just about clothes and accessories that represent Africa…
It’s not just about geometric prints, vibrant colors, and dazzling patterns…
It’s not just about being stylish and fashionable…
It’s about the people who wear them…
It’s about the people who made them…
And it’s about mother Africa where it all started…
In a continent that offers a variety of clothing, jewelries, colorful wraps, and wearable art, much is still left unveiled. A beautiful reality is to know that African fashion encompasses the desire to be patronized and flaunted. African fashion exists to instill pride, to unite, and to open doors for African talents and trades. The compassion of the people behind every garment or accessory is beyond compare.
If you, in all your stylishness want to be a part of a culture and heritage that’s uniquely you, then do not be forever distraught in finding ways how to be truly grateful to mother Africa. Support Afrawear’s cause and be one of the many fashion savvies who strive to promote Africa through its fashion, style, history, music, and geography. Afrawear was created because of two people’s desire to promote and encourage African-Americans out there, not only to be in style or trendy or in fashion, but to reach out and be heard.
Do you know that many suppliers from Africa are united to donate a part of their profits to realize the dreams of many African artisans? Everybody has dreams and everybody wants to be beautiful, but not everybody has the chance to be charitable. You share because you can and you care because you have so much more to give. Your caftan or dashiki is not just an attire to show your ethnic affiliation, or because it is suiting and dainty, it is to show the world that there are many skilled people in Africa who are yet to be given all the privileges.
