Tribal Chic is an elegant example of contemporary Africa thriving in the 21^st century. This year, a glass lit catwalk supported 7 collections created by a talented group of designers. Behind the scenes, faces were painted by a M.A.C production line and hair dressed in modern-day African chic. It was hosted by Tribe Hotel, produced by FA254 and presented by Susan Wong Editor of Capital Lifsetyle Magazine and Annabelle Onyango East Africa’s top stylist.
