The brilliance of a new gener­ation of designers and artists shaping African fashion is exhilarating the global scene. This luxury volume by Flammarion explores how young designers are reappropriating the codes and narratives of fashion in Africa, from Lagos to Marrakech, Accra to Nairobi, in sharp new ways. This vital edition reveals the essential roles of photographers, body-artists, hair and makeup specialists, and bloggers in challenging conventions and creating a new, vitally disruptive, witty, audacious, and resolutely African chapter in fashion. Reappropriating visual language, this bold title, which includes an essay by author Emmanuelle Courrèges on the broader creative revolution taking place, 'Africa: the Fashion Continent' is essential reading for design aficionados and aesthetes everywhere.
