This is a story in pictures and words about being a Stylist and fashion lover in Africa, and the wonderful and unexpected style moments you can encounter every day. Living in the very heart of this continent we may not have a lot of big name stores, designer labels, fashion exposés, high streets, or couture.

Our traditions, culture, endless opportunities for innovation, and the sheer bounty of Nature all conspire to make us a style nation like no other.
