cast of about 16 millennials from various African backgrounds. The unscripted program
will shock viewers with its raw perspective on social issues that plague both the Black
and African communities.
The campaign images were released in celebration of the second season of the African Millennials or the AM’s as they are referred to sometimes. All things considered, the styles were pretty dope and the group shots were on fire. as they explored a regal look for the cast, giving us some Ankara, because we are Africans afterall.

Creativity as defined by oxford is the use of imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness. The art of turning new, original and imaginative ideas into reality.
Creativity in Africa is characterized by the ability to perceive our continent, Africa in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity has given birth to two processes: thinking, then producing.
Creativity is the backbone being Africa fashion, because it comes with people daring to mix prints, colours, taking style risk and bringing “out of the box ideas” into existence and now it’s become a way of life to many African relatives.
The role of creativity can never be overemphasized in Africa’s fashion and in Africa as a whole.
Creativity is found everywhere but mainly from inspiration, as an artist inspiration can be gotten from almost everything. Stay woke!

In today’s society, modelling has become a catalyst, as it now encourages change in the fashion system and industry.
Models are the face behind the brand. The women who walk the runway have the power to inspire editors, buyers, and fashion lovers to covet a particular piece.
Throughout history, they have defined and defied typical beauty standards, set new precedents, and popularized trends. In today’s world, the model has a greater voice and presence than ever. As street style icon, role model, and activist, she has the power to challenge conventions and connect to social media audiences on a massive scale.
Much as fashion modelling involves using models to show off a particular type of fashion and art, Models are also meant to be more artistic since they represent the art work(modeling). It should show in their expressions, communications, looks, skills. A model should be creative and express herself through certain skills like painting, music (playing the guitar, piano, pan pipes etc), drawing and sketching, just to name a few and these become unique skills found in models.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE MODELS WHO CHANGED FASHION INDUSTRY:
Imam
Dovima
Twiggy
Cindy Crawford
Carla bruni
Kate Moss
Ajak Deng
Alek Wek
Naomi Campbell, just to name a few.
