FINALE Event Spreads African Fashions in the USA


African fashions are fast becoming contagious in the USA as second generation Africans create community and public awareness of the spectacular fashions Africa's industry and designers offer. Take for example, the launch of FINALE, a Black Star Collective Initiative, produced and hosted by D.C. LADIES Inc. & Ghana’s Elite Inc. in honor of Ghana’s 50th anniversary celebration.

Held in the heart of Manhattan, New York, late last month, FINALE featured five emerging African designers: Biribelle Clothing, Gloss, TOSA Collection, Citizens and Ras Kweku, and had over six hundred [600] guests in attendance. “It was very important to us that we put together an event second-generation Africans in this country can be proud of,” said Adjoa Adofo, fashion show coordinator for D.C. LADIES Inc. The event raised money to donate to Pro-Link Ghana, a leading non-profit agency that assists women and children afflicted with HIV/AIDS in Ghana.
