Women traditional African clothing for Summer Fashion 2016 2017
The first female to grace the cover of Forbes Woman Africa, bearer of the SA Trend Setter Award 2014, and first lady of afro pop, Nhlanhla Nciza of the award-winning South African Group Mafikizolo has proved that she is unstoppable. This year she made a much-anticipated comeback to the glamour of the catwalk after a 7-year break from the fashion industry, showcasing her collection ”Evolution.” With the insatiable talent that Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is reputable for, this year the only memorable image was that of Nhlanhla. Presenting her Evolution collection under her label NN Vintage, with half of South Africa’s celebrity society, the showcase became viral after only four of the pieces from the collection graced the catwalk. The collection, which got it’s inspiration from ”modern Africa and the ever-evolving vintage fashion,” reflects the growth of Africa and the pride of culture through fashion. She has been named the ”high priestess of the 21st century” in African fashion circles.
