Some of the most colorful people I know are African – we do it so well. So as you can imagine, it was not lacking on the runway during AFWNY 2011 (color that is).I was only able to attend day one of the shows which featured the following designers Gloria Wavamunno Korto Momolu, KikoRomeo, , Rough,Blackbird Designs , Syl Anim, Bebegrafiti, Kachi Designs, and Jo Black Craze. Based on the pictures made available to us by the fashion notebook here are some of the trends I noticed – as experienced from the front row (I can’t tell you how psyched I was).

After the initial “what the”- it was actually quite adorable and she looked lovely.
