Johannesburg-based Black Coffee launched the show with their intriguing interpretation of the classic winter coat

随着非洲准备在今年夏天举办第一届世界杯，非洲大陆上周六晚上成为纽约第三届“非洲集体”杂志的前沿和中锋。三位顶级地区人才-南非黑咖啡，腰布

The coats were re-imagined as cocoon-like shells draped over the body, cinched and layered at the waist, or rouched from behind

The coats’ tailored volume was balanced by a suite of equally on-tone jersey dresses

Deola Sagoe’s collection was a hefty dose of body and bling

Sagoe’s designs ranged from tight, color-contrasting cocktail dresses to vampire-inspired capes and precision-ripped leggings

Heavy on ruffle, embellishments and appliques, Sagoe’s work reflects the Afrigarchal ostentatiousness of her Nigerian homeland

Loin Cloth & Ashes designer Anisa Mpungwe’s pieces honored the Swahili Coast’s sartorial traditions of her native Tanzania

The emphasis of the collection was on fabric and silhouette

Brightly-colored textiles were cut both long and wide as poufy, dark-hued parachute pants and near head-to-toe tunic-like dresses

There were sexier pieces, too - ruffled-black baby-doll dresses, tight, tweed mini skirts, and diaphanous blouses slightly-scalloped below the shoulder-line
