The Re-Birth of African Cool.
“My continent is hot, cause no ice can freeze it” Scientific MC from Liberia.
In the last couple of years, we have noticed a renewed interest in African fashion and style seems to come from unexpected directions. Whereas individual styles is always important, now capitalism seems to lead the way in reintroducing African Cool on a larger scale. So it didn’t come as no surprise when One day last week, while passing downtown boutique Zachary’s Smile—their window comes alive in a literal explosion of African print wax cloth dresses.
Zachary’s Smile White Label is a line the store launched late last year, and the new printed dresses are made from fabric exclusively from the Ivory Coast.
