The Art of African Fashion

Els van der Plas and Marlous Willemsen, Editors

' After reading this book and savouring the photographs, fashion cognoscenti will have a different view of Africa’s place in the global world of fashion.' Joanne B. Eicher, Fashion Theory: The Journal of Dress, Body & Culture

The Art of African Fashion (1998) covers contemporary African fashion in the widest sense: clothes, textiles and hair design, body decoration and models – in short, all the arts relating to the decoration of human beings and the expression of self. Illustrated throughout with sumptuous colour and black and white photographs, the book has become canonical in the literature on African fashion and design.

Contributors: Aminata Dramane Traor é (Mali), Hudita Nura Mustafa (South Africa), Mounira Khemir (Tunisia/France), T.K. Biaya (D.R. Congo/Senegal), Salah M. Hassan (Sudan/US), Marie-Amy Mbow (Senegal), Renée Mendy (Senegal/France), and Anna Getaneh (Ethiopia/US).

Photographers: Eric Don-Arthur (Ghana), Mamadou Tour é Behan (Senegal), Karin Duthie (Botswana), and Bruno de Medeiros (Ivory Coast).
