Kibonen Ny represents CMR at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Africa

The opening night of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa was full of show stoppers, surprises and graceful falls.

Cameroonian designer Kibonen NY kicked off the star studded evening with a collection inspired by memories of the colourful marketplace in her hometown, Bamenda.

The result was a resplendent scene alive with colour. Signature prints and bold stripes made for a fresh blend, ideal for mixing and matching. Sensual silhouettes were also adapted for functional daywear.

The fashion show also saw thousands of fashion industry icons, young talent and international media descended upon Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, for the continent’s premier trans-seasonal fashion showcase.

This was to celebrate not only Africa’s newfound identity as a trend-setter, but one with a clothing and textile industry now to rival any in the world. Other designers present for this colourful event include Intisaar from Zimbabwe, Mille Collines, Taibo Bacar to mention a few.
