Africa Fashion Week "Off the Runway" Master Class
Speech - Africa Fashion Week NY
There are times when we dare to hope for something good, perhaps something that seems unreachable, but we fear that saying our wish aloud may jinx it somehow. So we protect our fragile dream with words. We say, "If the stars are in alignment, our hope will be realized. If the stars are in alignment, our wish will come true." And to our surprise, the stars do sometimes line up perfectly, leaving us feeling as though a small miracle has happened. Africa Fashion Week is one of those miracles; it was born in 2009, just on the cusp of the founding of Adiree PR & Communications here in New York City. While Africa Fashion Week was one of Adiree's earliest projects, the event grew right along with Adiree, which is now the premier public relations and communications firm for branding and promoting African and global business leaders across many industries. Adiree's deft hand helps to structure Africa's fashion industry and promote global economic partnerships for luxury brands from Africa. Shining like a beacon, Africa Fashion Week NY may soon be part of a constellation of fashion capitals eager to host Africa Fashion Week around the world -- in Miami, LA, London, Paris, Milan, Berlin, and Tokyo.

Fashion and Identity The following statement is indeed true: "Fashion provides one of the most ready means through which individuals can make expressive visual statements about their identities" (Bennett, 2005: 96) as we have studied time and again throughout this class. Because fashion is in a sense one's experiential art: fashion distinguishes itself from all other art forms because one truly does live one's life in one's clothes. In this sense
A favorite target for conspiracists today as well as in the past, a group of European intellectuals created the Order of the Illuminati in May 1776, in Bavaria, Germany, under the leadership of Adam Weishaupt (Atkins, 2002).
