::ARISE MAGAZINE AFRICAN COLLECTIVE::
Fall 2010 Collection / February 13th 8:00 pm / The Tent at Bryant Park

This was my second invite to the ARISE Magazine African Collective at Bryant Park. This show was one of the more elaboarte and highlighted the collections of African designers. The Fall 2010 Collective consisted of three labels: Black Coffee, by Jacques van der Watt and Danica Lepen, Anisa of Lioncloth and Ashes and Deola Sagoe. While all the designers showed well, Deola Sagoe was by far my favorite. Her designs were inspired by a fusion of African and Western military gear and included military style jackets with an emphasis on broad shoulders and funky shredded leggings. The ARISE after party took place at the Plaza where singer Ciara gave a surprise performance.
