African Designers Whose Designs Were Worn At The World Premiere Of Black Panther

Black Panther is changing the narratives on our screens, moving away from the usual superheroes we are used to seeing on our screens constantly to creating a new phase that must be celebrated by everyone especially if you are an African.

The idea of the movie got us wondering if the Africa-inspired outfits that were worn by attendees on Monday, January 29, 2018, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, will have the African designers touch to it.

And, yes, we found some that wore designs made by African designers either living on the continent or outside. See below for details:

Atandwa Kani wore South African brands; Vukani Fashions, & Maxhosa by Laduma.
