Lovers of fashion will find this edition of CNN African Voices very interesting as it brings to the screen three of Africa’s most talented, young fashion designers.

In a pre show press release released by the sponsor, Globacom, the show will feature Ethiopia’s Anna Getaneh, Sudan’s Nafisa Hafiz and Uganda’s Anita Beryl.  The threesome has been making trendy contributions to the global fashion industry and to runways around the world.

Getaneh, a former international model, is a “social entrepreneur” and founder of African Mosaique, a clothing design, manufacturing and retail company in Johannesburg, South Africa where she is also a Creative Director. She will talk about how she is using fashion to empower and connect African designers.

Sudan’s Nafisa Hafiz draws inspiration from traditional designs. Viewers will see her in her fashion world creating avant-garde designs for next-generation African haut couture.

Anita Beryl, on her part, is portrayed as ‘a thriving entrepreneur who is making her name known in Kampala through her fashion house”.

She is the creative director of award-winning Beryl Qouture, a Ugandan fashion industry powerhouse. Just last year, she was invited to showcase her designs at the World Fashion Week 2017, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
