Elite Living Africa

South Africa’s leading luxury multi-brand store, Luminance, recently opened its second store at Nelson Mandela Square, in Sandton, with an official launch that took place on 26 November 2015.

Launched in 2009 by Portuguese male model Armando Cabral, this luxury footwear and accessories brand specialises in Italian-made leather and suede men's shoes with classic yet distinct designs

Inspired by his African roots, fast-rising Nigerian fashion designer Dozzy Nnamdi Obinwanne set up Dozzy Couture to supply tailor-made men’s clothes that combine modern styles with African fabrics and designs. Dozzy is a member of the Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria.

This August, Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) 2015 proved that there is more to this trend than peplum tribal print and stiff waxy textiles.
