Quick one from the heart, no pretty pics etc... And so, Arise has come to Mzanzi in a big way. One look at this undertaking and that whole This Day fiasco of several years ago is dust. Africans Rise... dude Nigerians doing it in Mzanzi in a big way.. do Naijas know any other way? Nah! And as should every single African out there. Its a Fashion week on the surface, but (YOU this is Afirica and we love big buts!) The whole thing is about us, yes it is some dresses your grannies might curse you for, for showing too much, but its done by faces just like yours and mines. Yo don't discount any other faces that may look like they are from afar, African comes from a lot further than that.
Back to those Naijas, Fela said it "We are all Nigerians, we are all Africans." The man didn't talk shit he did shit. Arise is here doing shit, AFI is like the killerest thing to come guns blazing out of this fashion sunset brought on by an uncertain world, and these fashion soldiers ain't playin. If any of you doubt, like DOUBT! that Africa is being accorded, afforded and being rewarded for being herself... come see me I wil set you straight, real real quick.
Look out for more amazing shit http://www.fesman2009.com/en/news thats not all keep an eye out for some extra next level stuff like this http://emergeinnovationgroup.com/ISA2009.html hey don't you dare say you saw it first else where except right here in Africa, mofos.
