In a searing 2012 Guardian op-ed, Hannah Azieb Pool took Western
fashion designers to task for their so-called African-inspired
clothing. 'Dear Fashion,' she wrote, 'Africa is a continent, not a
country. Can you imagine anyone describing a fashion trend as
"European-inspired?" Of course not. It's meaningless.' Now, with
Fashion Cities Africa, Pool aims to correct the misconceptions
about African fashion, providing key context for contemporary
African fashion scenes and capturing the depth and breadth of truly
African fashion. Tied to the Fashion Cities Africa exhibition at
the Brighton Museum, the book gives much needed attention to four
key African fashion scenes: Nairobi, Lagos, Casablanca and
Johannesburg - one from each region of the continent. Filled with
interviews of leading African fashion designers, stylists and
commentators, alongside hundreds of exclusive street-style images,
Fashion Cities Africa is a landmark book that should be celebrated
in fashion houses the world over.
