GIVE US TRADE NOT ONLY AID !!!




i am Africa could have just been another charity t-shirt line with a message of unity.
But, it's time for african designers, and western designers to realize that it'll only keep on reinforcing the idea that "Africa constantly needs aid" .
I believe we have things to offer to the world in general, from the domains of fashion , and music to many others. Africa is a place of ingenuity, creativity, where many low profile entrepreneurs are striving to bring out their great ideas to the general public. It's time to not only create a fundraising t-shirt line, but dare creating a real clothing line; it's time to stop booking african artists only for Nelson Mandela's birthday concert and take real interest in their music. Time to give a chance to the african movie industry in a global fashion !
WE WANT TRADE NOT ONLY AID !!!

FASHAFRICA : Traditional Ethiopian Scarf



This scarf is unavoidable in ethiopian traditional fashion. However, it's very interesting to see how many people wear it along over more urban clothes. Just like the arab scarf became an accessory must , it seems that we'll see a lot more of these.
Made with linen , and often with a (red, yellow, green) print, the colors of ethiopia, It's a very stylish accessory !!
