The evolution of African fashion design

Legend has it that the man found a way to dress in leaves when he realized he needed it. That could be considered the first attempt at fashion design known to man. Over the years, each country has managed to wear its traditional outfit and make entirely new fashion statements. African fashion design also joined the ranks of international fashion houses years ago.

When it comes to African fashion design, many of the designs have evolved from the country's climate. People had to stay comfortable and the materials were selected based on the harsh climate. This led to the use of various types of materials that may not have been used in conventional design. Keeping these materials and designs alive has been the job of several members of the African fashion design industry.
