JOHANNESBURG — (TROPICS MEDIA GROUP) – La maison KILIMANDJARO FASHION BY GRACE WALLACE est née de la volonté de sa Fondatrice, Mme Grace Wallace, de redonner aux femmes le désir de prendre soin d’elles, de sublimer leurs silhouettes, de s’affirmer et de consommer Africain. Depuis ses débuts, le succès de sa marquee a été immense en Afrique de l’Ouest et cette dernière se veut être reconnue comme une marque icône à l’international.

Une filiale du K- F Group Corporation, la marque KILIMANDJARO FASHION BY GRACE WALLACE vient d’être rebaptisée GRACE WALLACE ®. C’est aussi la saga d’une maison de haute couture basée au Togo et reconnue au-delà des frontières, qui naquit en 2007. Les créations primées de GRACE WALLACE ®, ses hommes élégants, ses femmes sublimes sont une ode à la culture Africaine. Le corps de ses clients est sublimé « pour en styliser le galbe » et sa récente collection présentée à l’ECOWAS Fashion Week au Nigeria puis à Paris fera une fois de plus la une de la prochaine édition en terre Canadienne cette année. Grace Wallace (Printemps-Eté 2015) devient une collection incontournable dans l’ensemble de ses créations de mode.

L’année 2015 marque le début d’une nouvelle ère pour cette professionelle de la mode qui est également réputé pour ses valeurs, son génie, son talent qui continue de bâtir « l’élégance à l’Africaine. » Tout ce que crée ou invente l’heureuse lauréate des “Oscars de la Mode 2014 par LIFA Magazine” devient un succès et elle promet au public de magnifiques surprises en 2015.

Cette dernière collection illustre bien que le succès, le talent et la renommée de la maison GRACE WALLACE ® reposent sur ce qui fait le luxe suprême: le choix de l’EXCELLENCE. La maison GRACE WALLACE ® est évidemment le sanctuaire de la mode Africaine “Made in Togo!”

Fashion Runway: Grace Wallace Live From Vlisco Fashion Show in Cotonou, Benin

Fashion Runway, Fashion Weeks

Since 1846 Vlisco has been designing and producing colorful fashion fabrics that form an essential part of the lively West and Central African culture.

Vlisco’s mission is to provide high-end fashion brand for women in Africa. However, the increasing imitation of Vlisco designs offering low-end printed fabrics prompted a strategy change in 2006 which was implemented in mid-2007. Some aspects of the strategy change include more emphasis on design, the introduction of Vlisco boutiques, quarterly collections with pre-determined themes, image campaigns, and consumer brand innovation. Presently, there are three boutiques in: Cotonou (Benin), Lome (Togo) and Abijdan (Cote D’Ivoire).
Togolese designer with Nigerian origin, Grace Wallace, presented her collection during the Annual Vlisco Fashion Show in Cotonou. Here is the collection that she presented in Cotonou:
