Celebrating Africa through fashion in London
With 2007 being the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and the 50th anniversary of Ghana’s independence a London based urban fashion label is celebrating with a collection of ethnically inspired streetwear garments.
Celebrating African culture through the arts, media and fashion has long been something of pride for many individuals, particularly those of African descent. The importance of acknowledging these 2 significant dates in history in the UK is yet another step towards celebrating the diversity of this nation.
Don Fabio, is a London based urban fashion label with a history of staying at the forefront of street fashion, with garments that are simple yet vibrant in their designs. Being of African/Ghanaian origin, the label’s designer William Ofosu-Apea A.K.A Fabio fuses ethnic with the urban to create a style which celebrates originality. “Innovation, culture, ethnic, urban, style and power are the keywords to the basis of my designs.” Says Fabio.
Don Fabio’s latest collection of T-shirts and Vest tops for both men and women feature powerful images including that of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, first president and prime minister of Ghana – the first Sub-Saharan African nation to become independent. The poignancy of this visual imagery is distinct recognition of the influence that Africa has in fashion and the arts in the UK. Don Fabio seeks to celebrate Africa with this collection and encourages the multi-cultural nature of its client base. This celebration is more than just for the year but for many years to come, helping to promote positive images of African culture and ethnicity in London and the UK.
Don Fabio is available in select boutiques across the capital as well as through online stores such as www.mohina.com - www.urbanfashionhouse.com.
