SA Fashion week is coming up next month but sadly I will not be going unless my fairy godmother shows up with plane tickets.
It is very inspiring to see how the fashion industry has blossomed in Africa. The growth signifies several things, but I think one of the most important is that it shows there is a market for creative pursuits and people are having successful careers in the field.
Most countries in Africa have seen their economies grow to the point that increasingly people have more disposable income that they can spend on things like fashion and art.
And that's a good thing for the creatives because we all can't be doctors and engineers and lawyers and all those "prestigious" careers that many of our African parents push as towards.
