The fashion industry is a multi-billion dollar business. It spans across the globe from New York to Paris, but there is also an entire continent that we rarely hear about – Africa.

While there are many young African designers who have broken into the international market, most African women still wear traditional clothing. 

The range of styles and fabrics each have their own unique cultural significance; from Ankara fabric in Nigeria and Kente cloth in Ghana to wax prints in Mali and tie-dye in Senegal.

African dresses continue to make waves in the fashion industry as unique and modern dress designs like these are been released daily.
