New African Fashion Book & Heritage 1960 Launch Event

Helen Jennings and Oluchi

From Suno to Boxing Kitten and many others,  the African influence in fashion while not new has made itself more palpable in recent years. In tribute to the movement, Helen Jennings, editor of Arise, has put together a book titled New African Fashion, a glamorous reference to the buzz worthy style and artistic influence with roots in a very vast and diverse continent. Last night marked the New York launch of the book as well as the introduction of  Heritage 1960, an African lifestyle site and online shop. Hosted at the Parlor in SoHo, the intimate gathering  was a stylish and fun filled affair. On the next page a glimpes at attendees.
