As i take a look around the shops in Aberdeen i cannot help but notice the the prevalence of African fashion everywhere. so for the post i will like to educate you a bit on African fashion. for example the Ghanian culture is known for its kente fabric. going back to Nigerian culture. the Asoke fabric is tied to the origins of the yoruba culture usually used for wedding ceremonies the Gara fabric has its origins from Sierra Leaone the .The African culture is rich and wealth is no news that British high street and luxury brands and tapping in to the riches.the truth every tribe is Africa is known for one African fabric or the other.with the collaboration of western fashion and African fashion. it is percieved that the world will be one. the most popular explored in America and Europe are kuba, kente, korhogo and ankara( Luke boone 2001).
