First, let me tell you....

I know , I know, this should have been done a while ago but oh well... here I am now to introduce the latest event in the African fashion world, CATWALK FOR AFRICA....

The idea for such an event actually came up early last year, in 2008. My cousin and I have this thing for african fashion (we are crazy about it actually), so we created our own marketing agency 

(THE K CONNECTION) to introduce african fashion designers to the North American market.

Now we are thinking: why just the North American market? why not the whole world?...

Anyway, the first edition of CATWALK FOR AFRICA occured in March 2008 in beautiful and sexy MIAMI!!!!  It was a small scale event, but very successful. It was our first official runway event and I have to say we did pretty good (yeah us!)...

The designer who was showcased that first year is WINNIE CHAFA GOVHA, a multitalented, African inspired artist. 

Born and educated on the continent of Africa, designer Winnie Chafa Govha studied fashion design and fine art at the Fashion Institute in New York, and at the international Fine Arts College in Miami. She brings a complete startlingly original talent to the world of fashion. Her designs are chic, witty, young and whimsical. With her resources, she musically repeats motifs and color, place and patterns in her designs.

Thank you Winnie for your work!

So...after the success of the Miami edition of CATWALK FOR AFRICA, the second edition is in the making!

All I am going to tell you for now is that it'll happen at the end of this year in jazzy Tunisia...stay tuned for more infos...
