EVENT: AFRICA FASHION WEEK (JUNE 2010)

We recently blogged about the upcoming Africa Fashion Week kicking off in Johannesburg in 53 days (enthusiastic MUCH?)! We finally have a list of who and who's showing -- 26 designers in all! Needless to say, we're deliriously excited. Lots of new names and old favorites in the bunch...a few usual suspects missing in action...but we're not complaining too much.
