Items related to African Catwalk
Photographer Per-Anders Pettersson documents the emerging African fashion industry in exclusive behind-the-scenes photographs. From 2010 to 2015 he has visited about sixteen countries, more than forty fashion events, and gotten exclusive access to many designers on the continent.
African culture has always been seen as being influential anthropologically, but this book shows it as a fashion presence in its own right. South Africa has an established fashion scene and runs six fashion weeks year; others are held in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Angola, Nigeria, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, and Ghana.
African models are discovered at these events—many of them dream of becoming the next Naomi Campbell or Alek Wek. The middle-class and newly rich in Africa spend their money on foreign brands but local brands are trying to catch up, for example the Smarteez designers in Soweto, South Africa, or the Sapeurs in Kinshasa, DRC. Some of the most talented and internationally successful African designers are Duro Olowu, David Tlale, Gavin Rajah, Thula Sindi, Taibo Bacar, Deola Sagoe, Folake, and Lisa Folawiyo.
Swedish born Per-Anders Pettersson (born 1967) is an award winning photographer—World Press Photo, PDN, POY, NPPA, CARE, CHIPP, Unicef Photo of the Year, American Photography, and Commarts—based in Cape Town, South Africa.

In 2013 he published his first book, Rainbow Transit, a look at South Africa in Democracy.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Der preisgekronte schwedische Fotograf Per-Anders Pettersson zeigt eine neue, unerwartete Seite des afrikanischen Kontinents: Er erkundet die schnell wachsende Modebranche in Afrika. Dieses Buch dokumen- tiert erstmals in exklusiven Fotos, wie es hinter den Kulissen der jungen afrikanischen Modeindustrie aussieht. Die Serie wurde zwischen 2010 und 2015 in 15 Landern in ganz Afrika aufgenommen - sie feiert ein neues, lebendiges, farbiges und überraschendes Bild des Kontinents. Petterssons Bilder stellen nicht nur Klischees afrikanischer Mode wie Tierfell-Prints und Ethno-Muster infrage. Sie sollen auch dem »westli- chen Blick« entgegentreten - jener Fehlwahrnehmung der Medien, nach der Afrika nur ein kriegsgebeutelter Erdteil voller Armut, Krankheiten und ethnischer Konflikte ist.Per-Anders Pettersson (\*1967) lebt in Kapstadt, Südafrika. Seine Dokumentationen - Hunger in Athiopien, Bürgerkrieg in der Demo- kratischen Republik Kongo und HIV/AIDS-Epidemie in Botswana und Südafrika - wurden vielfach ausgezeichnet: World Press Photo, PDN POY, NPPA, CARE, CHIPP, Unicef Photo of the Year, American Photogra- phy, Commarts. Er zeigt seine Fotos auf internationalen Ausstellungen. Seller Inventory # 9783868286601
