By Nomali Cele We live in a time when “African print” – the catch-all phrase for anything remotely tribal or printed – has been revealed as not at all African. It’s good to see African designers who are not tied to this trite prescriptive of what African fashion should be thriving in the global landscape. Maki Oh Amaka Osakwe has the distinction of having American First Lady Michelle Obama wear […]
