| Opplysninger | "Black diasporic designers are underrepresented in the international fashion industry, as well as in fashion studies. Tracing their local and global impact, Africa's Fashion Diaspora illuminates the diverse perspectives and significant roles that Black designers have contributed to the creation of international fashion culture. With a focus on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this book features some of the best examples of innovative fashion throughout the period and contextualizes how diasporic designers' work can speak to contemporary issues, including decolonization, sustainability, and social equity. Diasporic designers cannot be monolithically defined-they come from varied cultures and their work speaks to their personal experiences, as well as wide ranges of influence. Africa's Fashion Diaspora introduces readers to important, yet unexamined fashion histories that form our current fashion ecosystem and support the impactful designers who are shaping contemporary culture. Africa's Fashion Diaspora writes the histories of Black diasporic designers and fashion producers back into the narrative of international fashion history, including designers, such as Thebe Magugu, KikoRomeo, Isaac Silva, Stella Jean, Stephen Burrows and Patrick Kelly"--
