We wanted to make Ethiopian fashion more public. If people have an interest in African dresses, then this event is a must. Gugia’s done impressive work. It’s amazing and inspiring.”
The collection is a combination of contemporary and traditional African and Ethiopian designs; select items from the runway will be available for sale.
The fashion show will feature Gazelle Model models, raffle tickets and prizes. Doors open at 7:30 p.m and show starts at 8 p.m.; afterwards, there will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres and refreshments from the Hilton Garden Inn. For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.
