    Hi Christelle, last November we launched 'tartans for Africa' in a show featuring African models wearing outfits designed and made by African women in textiles designed in the colours of their countries. We have been asked to repeat the show in San Francisco and Cape Town next year.
    The fashion element of tartans for Africa is the flagship in a project that currently involves 22 African countries creating awareness and helping ngo's to fund humanitarian projects. Working with World Women Trade Fair we help to establish womens co-operatives and create local employment.

    Hi Christelle. Thanks for the compliments but Im afraid my websites are out of date already. I now have 8 more African designs and a ton of stuff to add about our fashion shows, etc.
    African women are my inspiration.
