Ladybrille African Fashion News #17

Today is a brilliant day! Why? Because I said so and it is also a day closer to Friday! There are some really interesting news in the fashion world but before we get there, heard all the talks about the "United States of Africa." Is that a real possiblity or just a waste of intellectual energy? See what critics are saying here. In addition, stop by the African Loft to read the Blog Carnival focused on the topic of Trade vs. Aid in Africa, definitely very relevant to Africa's fashion industry. Meanwhile, in case you haven't noticed, private equity funds are rocking the fashion world with their purchases of fashion companies. The Economist recently covered this trend but points out some "[Problems] With Private Equity Funds." Enjoy the rest of our weekly collection of fashion news about/related to Africa and have a brilliant day!
