Couture Africa Magazine - July 2014

In this issue

he Business of Fashion
A lot has been said a lot about the business of fashion in Africa,
and as someone who loves business, and is a fashion fanatic, this
is one topic that really does ring essential to me. There is a lot to
say about the metamorphosis of the fashion industry in Africa, and
to get us started, we focus on Kenya. An observation I always like
to make is where people spend their money on luxury products,
and the reasons why they make the choices they do. I try and
give my view on this in our main feature – but 3,000 words is not
nearly enough. Perhaps I have found a topic for my first book! If
you are a fashion lover, or an avid business woman – this month’s
issue will be the ultimate page-turner.
We also talk about global fashion destinations for the travel shopper,
and our monthly contributor, Ian Arunga, tells us in his forever
witty style why he feels women have it better when it comes to
shopping. We then get to chat to two albeit uncelebrated players
in the fashion Industry, Diana Opoti and Graham Shaw, and
they tell us their business side of things. I simply could not have
the issue close without giving you some tried and tested tips on
building a wardrobe, and so I put on my “Image Consultant hat”
and gave you a sneak peek on what you could do to achieve
that perfect closet. This is not even the fashion issue yet, and I
am so excited!
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that our first anniversary
is around the corner, or perhaps it is because as COUTURE
Africa grows it is really developing into an informative guide for
today’s modern woman. I tell, you, you cannot get information
like this anywhere else. Thank you for keeping it COUTURE and
until next month:
LIVE LIFE. LOVE AFRICA
