THE JFT EDIT

Today’s fashion has taken a plucky trend in Africa. The re-visitation to the origin of African fabrics has not only helped to project the value of African Prints but also promoted diversity in the use of African Print.

I have noticed a drastic reduction in the wearing of our Jeans Trousers, see-through fabrics and the many indecent outfits which many young ladies and gents went in for; years ago. This is because of the fused-in of our (“Ankara /Ntoma” ) African Prints.

You can’t help but to get attracted to the beauty of African Print. The sight of it alone would tell you a story.

Easy to come by, easy to get it made in any style be it pants, skirts, shirts, tie, belt, bikini or jacket.  I  can confidently say nine out of every ten women have got a pant, scarf, jumpsuit, skirt, jacket, wrapper, a bag or a footwear made of African fabric.

Many fashion shows held globally; lately also do so well in projecting the different ways in making outfits from African Fabrics.

About 70%  of the African fabrics have got cultural heritage behind its colorful nature and designs; such as names which are traced to African root  and symbols which support each story.

Its colorful nature, texture and designs has helped to quicken the sense of fashion in people across the globe.
