To the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery the project STYLE AFRICA is first and foremost an art exhibition, showcasing amazing examples of West African fabrics from Fancy Print to Adinkra.
I'm one of 20 students from both Birmingham City University and The University of Birmingham working with the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (BMAG) to produce an exhibition opening in March 2012 in Gallery 20.
This blog aims to track the progress of the exhibition while also including pictures and snippets of information about African fashion and style I find inspiring, from traditional cloths and clothing to contemporary pieces and the work of AFWL (Africa Fashion Week London) and AFWNY (Africa Fashion Week New York) designers among a myriad of other amazing talent.
