“The darkest thing about Africa has always been our ignorance of it.”
- George Kimble
Editors Note Africa is the most surreal continent on this planet, with its’ beautiful and vibrant landscapes, to its' more than 3,000 unique ethnic groups currently residing there. The mystique of each culture harbors exclusive and eccentric color pallets that differentiate tribes from one another and varying greatly depending on the geographical location, allowing much to be learned from the mother country. Along with these color pallets also comes their own color systems where in which certain color associations can symbolize status, rehabilitation and many carrying meanings of wealth such hues of red and purple; while on the other side of the spectrum, less adorned colors such as pink are not widely used, which now allows room for change as the man of today continues to distinct his wardrobe and stray away from century old concepts. By expanding one's mind and embracing multiple aspects of fashion (color included) and not relying on gender stereotypes, men are now able to adapt to the beauty in what was once deemed feminine, and catch up to the ideas that have already been wildly acceptable throughout many Eastern cultures; these various aspects, combined with the heritage and customs of my African culture, I have successfully developed four complete color stories that are sure to awaken every man’s wardrobe for the upcoming Autumn/ Winter 2017/'18 season.

The Allure man can be described as the people pleaser, the one that is not afraid of bold luxurious colors nor is he afraid to play around with these color combinations. The temptation not to notice the maturity of this luxurious color pallet is not easily passable while the sensuality of the Allure man exudes leadership and status among audiences; the type of boss who is alwys in charge and allows his style to speak for itself, luring in admirers who are captivated by his self mystery.

When wanting to push the male color pallet, Suave is your ideal haven and also an easily transitional color scheme taking silks, cashmeres and blends straight from summer right into fall smoothly. And not to be mistaken for soft or fragile by the use of pink, the confidence in his swagger is far from shy and timid, but secure enough in himself to stand alone. This stirring take on mens fashion allows the audience to witness the versatile style of the modern man of tomorrow and remove him from the box he was once put in.
