These Designers are Bringing Fresh Perspectives and Unique Style to the African Fashion Scene
Modern African street style showcasing diverse fashion trends among youth.
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.
