Description

Africa's Fashion Diaspora by Elizabeth Way explores the significant impact of Black designers from Africa and the African diaspora on international fashion culture. This book delves into the diverse perspectives and contributions of these designers, who have shaped the creation of global fashion culture through their innovative work. From the 1970s to the present day, this book examines the influence of African diasporic designers on major fashion houses such as Balmain, Denim Tears, and Off-White. It also features lesser-known designers like Pathé'O, Stephen Burrows, and Patrick Kelly, whose iconic designs continue to inspire contemporary fashion. By contextualizing the work of these designers within broader social issues, this book provides a fresh perspective on the role of fashion in shaping our cultural landscape. The exhibition schedule for Africa's Fashion Diaspora includes a major show at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York from September 2024 to December 2024.
