Africa Fashion Week New York 2012.



Get ready for Africa Fashion Week in New York as African designers from around the globe showcase their design talents and creativity from July 12th through July 14th 2012 in New York City. I am in awe of the vibrant color inspirations of African prints and with the huge success of color blocking, the fashion world currently can't seem to get enough of color. The demand for color trends in new collections has transitioned into this season's bold prints which is a must for stylish fashionistas in the know. The recent Fall 2012-13 menswear collections shown in Paris is all about bold and vibrant colors.  

With the influence of African prints and fabrics that continues to be an inspiration for top European and American designers, African designers are positioned to take their place in the world of luxury and high fashion. The fashion world is watching more and more as the recent Lagos Fashion Week in Nigeria gained international press with major media coverage from CNN, WWD and Yahoo reporting on its' economic success.

Africa Fashion Week New York 2012, will showcase an abundance of designers who are already stars and perhaps some will become even bigger stars in today's fashion world. True Fashionista Now will be in attendance to bring you all the looks and fashion drama from the catwalks.
