Arise Africa Fashion Week 2009 took place just a mere few weeks ago in beautiful Johannesburg, South Africa. And all I have to say is, “Boy is there a lot of hidden talent!” The week was filled with novice and senior designers from all over the world, but the real treat was seeing the AFRICAN Designers presenting their work in their homeland. Check out the images and get introduced to amazing talent in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Tanzanian designer, Mustafa Hassanali’s collection was based around a tropical aura with his use of colors combined with soft sheer floaty fabrics. His looks are great for those fine summer evenings!


The Nigerian label Odio Mimonet presented a collection full of Velvet! Silks! & Sophisticated Silhouettes! Odio Mimonet makes great silhouettes for females with long lean bodies that are looking to add shape to their body.


Nigerian label, Eyola presented a collection filled with futuristic fantasy. Her pieces were mostly fashion forward silhouettes, but the great thing about her pieces is that her ideas can easily be tranformed into ready to wear.
