African Designers

We've been mentioning a lot about spring 2009 wear, and there's some more to come, but lets jump ahead a few seasons. Mercedes-Benz is having its semi annual fashion show on Friday the 13th and its cataloging its fall wear for 2009. This is a really big event, because a lot of major designers are gonna be there unveiling new fall wear, and perhaps some new winter attire.
However with this years fashion show, African designers are coming out heavy, and were going to be seeing a new array of clothing from them. Some of the new designer brands are Xuly Bet by Malian designer Lamine Badian Kouyate, Tiffany Amber by Nigeria's Folake Coker, Momo by Nigeria's Fati Asibelua and Stoned Cherrie by South Africa's Nkhensani Nkosi. All of these four designers are unveiling collections at the show.
Xuly Bet which means "keep an open mind" in the wolof language are just re imagined T-shirt designs that Kouyate is bringing forth with a price range of $100 and up. Stoned Cherrie brings out a hefty price with clothing starting from $500 and going up to $2000. Momo by Asibelua is animal print themed and is ranging from $300 to $3500. Her work has gained some popularity in european countries, and shes hoping to catch some attention here in America
