Africa Fashion: On Its Own Terms

SYNOPSIS

Contemporary African designers are increasingly being recognised in the world's fashion capitals, and they have come to threaten the dominance of respected international brands, with mainstream fashion markets embracing the continent's style and authenticity. As London's V&A Museum launches a landmark exhibition, Brenda Emmanus explores the global impact of African fashion and travels to Ghana to look at how designers are putting culture and traditions front and centre of their designs.
