Behind the scene
In a world of fashion where generic is the name of the game, entrepreneurs Arlette Ngo Badjeck and Gwladys Ngo Tedga bring a new vibe to the fashion scene and textile industry with Catwalk for Africa…AfroChic à la Mode. The event was born in an effort to revitalize African fashion, redefine it and significantly increase its presence in the global market. While some may wrongly summarize African fashion to: “ethnic” prints, safari clothing and traditional outfits, Catwalk for Africa demonstrates a side of African fashion with a lot more depth, audacity, creativity and quality.

A very Distinctive Woman


I can't go on without talking about the very distinctive woman in charge of organizing the next edition of Catwalk for Africa in Tunisia. The Distinctive Woman Agency is a marketing and public relations agency here in Tunis. The reason why I was led to it was the owner, Martine. She is the image of the modern woman. In love with the continent, international, open to new adventures, and she loooves meeting new people all the time. The special thing about her agency is that it's all about women. Martine has decided to work for and with women only...almost. She carries out women' projects, work with women mostly and fights for their rights any way she can. I like that about her. It's time we as women take charge of our livesand people like Martine are leading the way.
Thank you my dear friend for everything. Thanks to your work, our next event will be smashing!
