A visual overview of contemporary African fashion, Fashion Africa is a comprehensive guide compiled with an ethical perspective.
Jacqueline Shaw promotes Africa as a place not just for sourcing materials, but with the potential to be a vital epicentre of trade within the global marketplace. This guide is the first of its kind to bring together designers, design companies, ethical manufacturers and more, all with an African connection.
Fashion Africa is a comprehensive guide to the designers, materials, and sustainable practices available on continental Africa, and provides an excellent resource in conjunction for the very vibrant growing industry already in existence.
Decked out with fine illustrations, photographs, interviews and critical analysis; Shaw does well to explore all aspects of the African fashion field. * Amy Iheakanwa, Haute Fashion Africa *
Jacqueline Shaw's visual ode to African fashion... grabs the eyes with bold colours and an almost encyclopaedic approach to the nuts of bolts of making and sustaining fashion on the African continent. * Words of Colour *
