🌍👗 Have you ever wondered what happens when African fashion meets Chinese style? Well, it’s a colorful celebration of culture! Kenyan entrepreneur and former diplomat Hannah Ryder is making waves by bringing African designs to the Chinese mainland.
At events like Shanghai Fashion Week and the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo in Changsha, Hannah showcases amazing outfits that blend tradition with modern flair. She and her team pick designers who not only honor their heritage but also bring fresh ideas to the runway.
One cool example is Chen Huiyi, a Chinese staff member who mixes a Rwandan-designed blouse with hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing). The result? An effortless and stylish look that turns heads! 😍
“The best way to keep a culture alive is to ‘wear it out,’ letting more people see it and making it part of everyday life,” says Chen. “That’s also what our African designers hope to do.”
Isn’t it awesome how fashion can bring people together from different parts of the world? Maybe next time you pick out an outfit, you’ll think about how your clothes tell a story! 💫
