		<description><![CDATA[
Africa Fashion Week in Johannesburg, South Africa organized by African Fashion International (AFI) is one of the most important fashion events in Africa. With the aim of highlighting some of the best in African fashion and creative design, AFI has done a phenomenal job giving designers a platform to showcase and market their designs. Including a unique competition for up and coming designers through their collaboration with Foschini (a popular international women&#8217;s brand).  The Foschini/AFI FASTRACK competition launched in 2011 creates a platform for young designers to kick-start their careers in the fashion retail industry. After showing at Johannesburg Fashion Week and Cape Town Fashion week in front of a panel of judges; the winners are taken through a supply chain internship at Foschini where they are taught the &#8220;in&#8217;s and out&#8217;s&#8221; of the retail industry. All culminating in a collection from the designers thats sold in flagship Foschini stores. AFI is an important and  truly progressive company to be aware of that is intimately involved in the international support and promotion of African fashion.
Held at the Sandton Convention Centre from October 20th to October 23rd, designers from the United States, Zimbabwe, Kenya, London, Mozambique, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Egypt, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana, and South Africa presented their Spring 2012 collections. Not all of the designers are featured below, but I believe the strongest and most relevant looks are shown. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the diversity in style and design of all the collections at this years Africa Fashion Week.
  In my post last week &#8220;The Larger Implications Behind Burberry&#8217;s Use of African Fabric&#8220;, I talked about seeking out African designers until the industry responds to the consumers demands. So take this opportunity to pay attention to the names, styles and designs of the designers below. Remember them, seek out more information about their brands and most importantly buy their designs!

		<description><![CDATA[
In 2008 I traveled to the Sudan, prior to the country’s split when what was the largest country on the continent, remained a single sovereign nation. I traveled there in the heat of swarming media reports of terror and genocide in Darfur. This would make any rational traveling person fearful. Despite all that I had heard, I remained determined to travel and visit my father who had been working there for almost 2 years. I envisioned a war zone, a place dangerous and practically unlivable. Yet, I arrived to what was virtually that opposite. Khartoum, Sudan was a quiet, peaceful and family-oriented city. And with a metropolitan area of over five million people, had not recorded a single homicide that entire year.
I say this all this all to show the stark contrast of my expectations with my actual experience. I have a friend whose father visited and experienced Libya in the 80s. He said one thing: “it’s not what you’d expect”. This would lead me to all sorts of thoughts as to what could actually exist in a place like Libya; where as of late, there had been much discussion and debate over the United States intervention in the country’s conflict. Should I shatter any previously conceived idea that I had constructed based on CNN news footage? This time, I didn’t have the opportunity to see the country for myself. It would be solely left up to my meticulous review of what I sought out and what was available to me.
As the conflict in Libya progressed amongst neighboring newly revolutionized countries like Egypt and Tunisia, I struggled to formulate my own ideas on how this social insurrection should be addressed. The image of president Mommar Gaddafi had become that of evil folklore&#8230;an obvious villain on all the proverbial “wanted” signs across the country. It was almost as if after Bin Laden was captured and killed, Americans needed someone else to hate. I by no means stand in defense of someone with such a track record; albeit, there is so much to learn about this individual. However, my honest assessment is that I truly don’t know enough and like what I thought about the country of Sudan, I could be completely wrong after all anyway. I, like the average individual, have American media images that clash in my mind. I envision Gaddafi with the Africa button pinned on draped traditional garb. I recall how he has happily shaken hands with our current and former US presidents and regarded by respected US senators as an “interesting man”.
It is natural to be conflicted upon receiving mixed messages. Was Gadafi the United States ally that posed in pictures with presidents and foreign dignitaries; or was he the brutal tyrant destined to die a martyr on the soils that bred him. Pictures have to the power to make lasting imprints on ones mind. The picture that is everlasting and present now is what I awoke to see Thursday morning plastered across the TV. This enigmatic individual whom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
While many found humour in the discovery that Colonel Gaddafi greatly admires former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, his admiration speaks volumes to the appeal of women, especially  Black women, in power. When Gaddafi declared in an interview in 2007 that “I support my darling black African woman&#8230;. I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders&#8230;Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. I love her very much. I admire her and I&#8217;m proud of her because she&#8217;s a black woman of African orijin,” he was expressing not only a personal admiration, but he was also expressing a sentiment felt by many.
It has longed been argued that due to their race and sex, Black women in America face “double oppression” since racism and sexism continues to permeate all aspects of American life and culture.  As a result, they have to work harder than most to overcome daily obstacles. Thus, the fact that a Black woman/’woman of African orijin’ is able to ascend the ranks in the male dominated political arena should not be taken lightly.
Regardless of your political affiliation, one cannot deny the fact that there is much to be admired about Condoleezza Rice. She is intelligent, articulate, cultured, charming and has been able to attain what most women in America never would &#8211; the position of Secretary of State. One must also admire that fact that despite the inevitable obstacles that came her way because of her sex and race, she was still able to overcome them and rise above the rest. The same can be said about other powerful Black women in America including Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama and Ursula Burns.
Unlike other powerful women in entertainment, such as Beyonce, Halle Berry ect, women like Condoleezza Rice, Michelle Obama, Oprah and Ursula Burns are often very conservative in their demeanour and attire and as a result their physical appearances are not necessarily the factor that defines who they are. Instead, their intelligence, level of authority and natural leadership abilities take precedence. The success of these women not only provide as proof that the ‘American dream’ is attainable by all who work hard and strive for it but they also provide as positive role models for all young women who thought it was impossible to succeed in the male dominated worlds of politics and business.
Men of Gaddafi’s power and stature often have thousands of conventional beautiful women at their disposal; however, women in possession of the power and prestige held by women like Condoleezza Rice and Michele Obama are very far and in-between. As human beings, especially those of us who have almost everything our disposal, it’s only natural for us to desire things that almost seem unattainable. The case of Gaddafi is no different.

		<description><![CDATA[
On January 5th, 2010, the US congress, under the leaderships of President Obama, passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform &#38; Consumer Protection Act. This Act, also known as the ‘Loi Obama’ or &#8216;Obama Law&#8217; in the République démocratique du Congo (DRC), was put in place with a mandate “To promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end “too big to fail,” to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts, to protect consumers from abusive financial services practices, and for other purpose.” So how does this Act with the intent to protect American consumers affect an ostensibly independent African country more than 1000 kilometres away?
The Act has a provision requiring public companies to stipulate what measures they are taking to ensure that the minerals used in their supply chain are not financing armed groups and warlords who embark on a campaign of brutal violence against the Congolese people. These “conflict minerals” as they are known, consist of the 3Ts – tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold. They are used in the production of many of the electronic devices we have come to love such as our computers, MP3 players and cell phones. However, the means by which many of these minerals have been extracted and sold, have been very controversial and have played an important role in the development of this Act. It has been argued by Democratic Representative Barney Frank, for whom the Act is partially named, that “the purpose is to cut off funding to people who kill people.” With this motive in mind, the US felt that the provisions of the Act would help foster a culture whereby major businesses would ensure that their purchases of these minerals are ‘conflict’ free.
While the Act was notably implemented with good intensions, some have argued that it has had a counter effect on the people of Congo and has actually helped to foster a culture whereby the most powerful warlords are able to take hold of the minerals in Eastern Congo and use the profit to brutalize and control local populations. Much like the controversy surrounding “blood diamonds,” companies, such as Apple and Intel are now very cognizant of where they purchase the necessary resources for their products as they are afraid of the public backlash they will likely face if it’s determined that they have participated in the purchase of “conflict minerals.” As a result, some have argued that since the passing of the ‘Obama Law,’ many major companies are sidestepping Congo and are taking their business to other countries where the stigma associated with these minerals is not as pronounced or publicised.
This means that local populations in mineral rich remote mining areas such as South Kinu Province, who depend greatly on the revenue generated from mining these minerals, are now left without a dependable source of income to sustain themselves and their families. As a result, basic necessities such as food, clothing and education are hard to come by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ethiopian Model/Actor/Dancer/Wardrobe Stylist, Estifanos Berta-Samuel shares his unique sense of style. 

 
Favourite fashion designers
Christiane King from the Ivory Coast; Ozwald Boateng from Ghana/UK,  Machere of Stoned Cherry in SA, Angela Dean from Los Angeles, CA,  Mantsho by Palesa Mokubung SA, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Michael Kors  U.S.A, and  Issey Miyaki of Tokyo, Japan
My trendiest fashion accessories of the moment
My fedora, skinny neck tie, bow tie, and bracelets
Suits or African wear?
I love both suits and African wear my sense of fashion is very much like a chameleon I love changing it up!
Boxer shorts or briefs?
I like to feel free and have room to move. I save the briefs for the runway and print ads.
Cufflinks or button?
I prefer cufflinks if it’s an upscale look and that really helps to  make a boring suit come to life for me and I like that look of wearing  gems/stones.
Tie or no tie?
I can go either way with ties or not just depends on what look I want to achieve.
Leather or metallic watch?
I love both types of watches I think leather on a watch tends to look  a little more leisurely and the metallic one always make the look more  upscale for me.
Shoes or sandals?
I am a shoe whore so for me its shoes &#38; sandals in every colour style from any country as long as it catches my eye!
Spray deodorant or roll-on?
I prefer spray deodorants because they don’t soil clothes, and the designers and stylists are happy.
 Shaving machine or shaving stick?
Shaving machine by far is the best, being an African most razors rip  my skin apart and cause me to have ingrown hairs, blemishes, and razor  bumps which are a not a good look for my career!
Clean cut or braids?
I like braids, clean cut looks and also big hair. I had an afro some  time ago but my agents thought I was too readily identifiable as an  Ethiopian. They had me cut it and now I look “International”
Beer or vodka?
Don’t like the taste of beers at all and they are completely bad for  me because of the yeast. Vodka is always a nice choice but my drink in  Jonny Walker Black Label.
Skinny jeans or baggy jeans?
I don’t wear either: while I like them I’m too “curvy” and my butt is  too big for skinny jeans so I can’t wear them unless I want “a certain  type of attention” and that ain’t cool. Baggy has never been my taste  but I do like to feel comfy in my jeans so they can’t hug me.
Tucked in or sagging?
Tucked in works if its business or pleasure time out depending on how  I feel. Never sagging for me just because I had Black Americans tell me  the true meaning behind wearing them that way and again that ain’t  cool.
Cocoa Butter or Vaseline
I prefer cocoa butter much more it lifts dark spots and is super  emollient but rather pure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beautiful Ethiopia is known for many wonderful things; splendid  culture, striking women and a civilization rooted firmly in African  history. It is the dream of model/dancer/actor Estifanos Berta-Samuel to  add to that by starting a corporation that will build a world class  industry for arts, fashion and entertainment professionals in his home  country and across Africa. Judging by his determination and journey  through the industry both overseas and on the continent, he may very  well be on his way to achieving that. 
Estifanos hails from the Amhara Tribe and with his impressive  physique – 6 .5ft height, brown eyes and caramel skin – he has dazzled  on the stage of several runways and graced the pages of print  publications across the globe.  He currently lives in Johannesburg,  South Africa and shuttles between New York and Los Angeles under his  agency, HEADS MODELS in Johannesburg www.headsmodels.co.za.
He started modeling rather unwillingly in High School at the 10th  grade but today looks back on his journey with pride, having worked with  some of the best stylists, photographers, and designers in the  industry. He has worked as an assistant to the in house stylist at  ENYCE, and appeared in several campaigns like: Absolut Vodka commercial  in Paris, France; History Channel commercial in Hollywood, CA;  Los  Angeles Fashion Week; and BET Awards Fashion Show just to name a few.
I caught up with Estifanos, who lists Tyson Beckford, Tyra Banks,  Kimora Lee and Iman as his role models in the industry, to find out  about his journey into the world of fashion, his spirituality, his  ambitions and personal battles.
Ameyaw Debrah: How did you get into modeling?
One of my younger sisters was into modeling in high school and I  would take her to castings and fashion shows. Every time I arrived I was  asked by the organizers and agents to model for them. I never accepted  any offer or gave the idea much thought because in my culture modeling  was just not something that men did. After hearing so much from every  one “you should be a model, you have that look” I entered some  nationwide model search competition only to be scammed out of my money. I  thought this whole modeling thing is just one big convoluted mess. I  went back to my life thinking “I can’t believe those judges chose people  that clearly looked like they crawled from under a rock”.
In  my sophomore year of college, Howard University, a guy that lived in my  dorm was a photographer for a local upstart model agency. Every time I  saw him, he suggested to me that I speak with the agents because I had  the look that they wanted but of course I declined each time. One day  while returning to the dorm from dance class, as I was sweating and  [...]]]></description>
