Having brought together a fusion of African music, flavour, and fashion, the Afro Nation Festival hosted on 22-26 March in Puerto Rico boasted a line-up of some of the continent’s amapiano, afrobeats, hip hop, dancehall, and afro house heavyweights. Being a given that music and fashion are a perfect pair, the event – which was nothing short of culture, highlighted some of this season’s key fashion moments. The trends spotted included pleather textures, mesh, animal print, and colour blocking – all topped off with loads of studs and sparkles.
AMAKA was on the ground, ready to cover unmissable moments and to keep you in the loop on festival worthy looks that would have made you stop and stare.
