Nigerian fashion designer Hakeem Oluwasegun
Olaleye, known as “Segun Gele” to fans, who has received international acclaim for his visually inspiring headwear is to showcase his works at the 10th celebration of African Fashion Showcase, 2014.
The Sabbar
Shrine Center will give way to high fashion and festive music Saturday
as the Diaspora Showcase Africa returns for its 10th year.
Hundreds of fashionistas are supposed to attend the event, which will
feature the works of other designers aside Segun Gele, such as Allister “Pela” Burnett from New York
City, Zanzibar-born Farouque Abdela, Kike Adeeko.
Showcase founder Kwevi Quaye said the event has come a long way from its humble beginnings.
“The
quality of the designers has dramatically improved,” Quaye said. “When
we started, we featured designers who were known in their local
communities. Now we have designers that are international in scope. Many
designers who didn’t know much about Tucson now know about Tucson.” Africans are really doing their thing in fashion industry around the globe.
....promoting African fabrics!
