These Designers are Bringing Fresh Perspectives and Unique Style to the African Fashion Scene 

Started in Amsterdam in 2012 by three friends of African descent – Hussein Suleiman (Somalia), Jefferson Osei (Ghana), and Abderrahmane Trabsoni (Morocco), Daily Paper has carved out a unique space in global streetwear. Thebe Magugu is another thoughtful, detail-oriented menswear designer, an impressive award-winner, and in fact one of the most celebrated fashion stars today. If you think of luxury streetwear, think of Atto Tetteh. This is a designer who brings a burst of colour and energy to men’s fashion in Ghana. Emmy Kasbit, founded by Emmanuel Okoro, brings a fresh perspective to menswear with its thoughtful mix of Akwete, a handwoven fabric from southeastern Nigeria, into contemporary tailoring.
