ARISE Magazine Fashion Week: Day Two

While it was the second day of AMFW, it was the last day for me. I cut my trip early to go to my dad's village before heading back to the states.

If you'd like to read my review of the shows, click here.

I don't want to make this post too long but I will say this: these were events organized by a magazine that celebrates Africa’s accomplishments as well as discussing their issues and features designers that create looks that compliment ALL types of women and all types of beauty.

I am so glad I attended the shows during AMFW. I met some amazing people and I'm just really excited about the talent that continues to come out of Africa.

Here are some more pics:


This is my favorite photo. Period. I love trad so...

Agbani
Tsemaye Binitie show. I loved the messy updos some of the models had their hair in.

Nice : )

I snapped Dare Art-Alade with his cousin (a photographer and my new hair idol) and Hephzibah Hart.

I loved the outfits the ushers wore that day.

Twin designers behind Maatano. I'm pretty sure this was my favorite collection. I'd wear everything from that collection.

Jo Black Craze.
Hello little boys, little toys...

Mercy.
