The inauguration of the Arise African Fashion Week kicked off on Friday, 12 June 2009, and has ever since showcased a number of extremely talented and promising African designers that we should all keep our eyes on. Upon leaving the Lanre da Silva and Gloria Wavamunno shows, I couldn't resist the urge to photograph some really stylish and cool kids... So I did just that. Most of them were either studying fashion design, working for fashion magazines or designers themselves. I hope you like them as much as I did.
