Today’s generation of talented designers and image-makers are riding the broader wave of interest in Africa’s renaissance and attracting an international clientele by balancing contemporary fashion’s pursuit of the new with an appreciation of the ideals of beauty and adornment that are deeply rooted in Africa’s cultural and social consciousness. This new guard, which includes labels and designers such as Lagos’s Jewel by Lisa, Johannesburg’s Black Coffee, Accra’s Christie Brown, London’s Duro Olowu and New York’s Mataano, is creating the most exciting and original chapter in fashion’s discourse since Japan emerged as a major player in the 1980s, and helping to give African style its moment in the sun.

  • Islamic Art from the Collection, Oct. 23, 2020 - Dec
    It Comes in Many Forms: Islamic Art from the Collection, Oct. 23, 2020 - Dec. 18, 2021 This exhibition presents textiles, decorative arts, and works on paper that show the breadth of Islamic artistic production and the diversity of Muslim cultures. Throughout the world for nearly 1,400 years, Islam’s creative expressions have taken many forms—as artworks, functional objects and tools, decoration, fashion, and critique. From a medieval Persian ewer to contemporary clothing, these objects explore migration, diasporas, and exchange. What makes an object Islamic? Does the artist need to be a practicing Muslim? Is being Muslim a religious expression or a cultural one? Do makers need to be from a predominantly Muslim country? Does the subject matter need to include traditionally Islamic motifs? These objects, a majority of which have never been exhibited before, suggest the difficulty of defining arts from a transnational religious viewpoint. These exhibition labels add honorifics whenever important figures in Islam are mentioned. SWT is an acronym for subhanahu wa-ta'ala (glorious and exalted is he), a respectful phrase used after every mention of Allah (God). SAW is an acronym for salallahu alayhi wa-sallam (may the blessings and the peace of Allah be upon him), used for the Prophet Muhammad, the founder and last messenger of Islam. AS is an acronym for alayhi as-sallam (peace be upon him), and is used for all other prophets before him.

  • The Balmoral Tartan
    The Balmoral Tartan Introduction The Balmoral tartan (Fig 1) is said to have been designed in 1853 by Prince Albert, The Prince Consort, Queen Victoria's husband. It is unique in several respects: it is the only tartan known to have been designed by a member of the Royal Family; has a unique construction; and is reserved for members of the Royal Family. It is worn by HM The Queen and several members of the Royal Family but only with the Queen's permission. The only other approved wearers of the Balmoral tartan are the Piper to the Sovereign and pipers on the Balmoral Estate (estate workers and ghillies wear the Balmoral tweed). Fig 1. Specimen of the original Balmoral Tartan c1865. © The Author. There is some confusion over the exact date of the original design. In 1893 D.W. Stewarti wrote, ''Her Majesty the Queen has not only granted permission for its publication here, but has also graciously afforded information concerning its inception in the early years of the reign, when the sett was designed by the Prince Consort.'' Harrison (1968) ii states that both the Balmoral tartan and Tweed were designed by Prince Albert. Writing of the tartan specimen in Stewart’s Old & Rare Harrison noted that “The illustrations were all woven in fine silk which did not allow of (sic) the reproduction of the pure black and white twist effect of the original. Mr Stewart compromised by using shades of dull mauve as the nearest that his materials allowed. Thus, for generations the Balmoral was looked upon not as a pure grey scheme but as a scheme of very quiet mauves” (Fig 2).

One financial player who took a look at American Apparel said there’s plenty of opportunity to improve the business. Inventories, for instance, could turn much quicker. “Everyone sees the quality of the brand,” said the source, who described Charney was “a very, very tal- ented merchant,” but said he had become a one-man band, personally overseeing the company’s 249 stores. “American Apparel, as a brand, should be big abroad,” the source said, noting it could do that and maintain it’s U.S.-based production philosophy. But how the brand develops from here depends on who’s in the driver’s seat.

  • “We Are Nigeria”
    “WE ARE NIGERIA” CHAPTER ONE ‘Who can tell me what happened on the 1st of October 1960?’ asked our class teacher. None of the students wanted to answer the question. Our teacher looked around the class and we hid our faces because we knew what she was going to do next. ‘Jay’ She said, and he almost jumped out of his chair. ‘Please answer the question.’ She always picked a student randomly to answer questions when no one volunteered. ‘It was the day Nigeria defeated the Queen of England’ Jay got up to answer the question. His voice was a shaky whisper. Jay was always nervous when he had to answer questions in class. ‘Yes Didi’ our teacher said and the class turned to look at me as I stood up to answer the question. ‘Class, did you hear him?’ our teacher asked. ‘No ma’ the class chorused. Their mocking voices ‘Before the 1st of October 1960, Nigeria was ruled by made Jay more nervous. Great Britain.
