It was a pleasure seeing you both at the launch event.

Kudos to Helen for this book. It was time for something to tell a story that many are unfamiliar with. An Africa that births something far more than corruption, war and famine. One that births creativity that has long been inspiration to mainstream high fashion.

It was time.

Glam kisses,

Marian.
