African Print, Motifs, Tribal...Is the new Trend in High Fashion

I was going through Time Magazine and saw these very African Designs and i thought , wow, these are beautiful , i thought they were Duro Olowu, Chichia or something until i started to read the  Designer tags on em. I guess Western designers out there are putting out African Motifs, Tribal patterns and the like coz its the new trend, this should African Designers a push because they are no longer the only ones making these designs anymore, they should put more power in designing bigger and better and advertising more so they get recognized out there
