Glam Africa: The Revolutionary Edition (2019)
2019 has been a special year for so many reasons, and Glam Africa is bringing the year - and the decade - to a close with our most ambitious edition ever: The Revolutionary Edition. In this edition, the reality TV phenomenon is front-and-centre, with Love Island star Ovie Soko joining us for his first ever cover shoot, as well as a fashion cover featuring Big Brother Naija and Dancing on Ice stars, power couple Mike and Perri Edwards. To pull off this one-of-a-kind issue, we said sayonara to our in-house editorial team (temporarily) and enlisted a diverse group of talented, young content creators for our first ever ‘digital takeover’, which sees online personalities including bloggers, presenters and YouTubers adapting their digital expertise for print media. Very few publications can boast such a diverse range of content, and whatever it is you're looking for, GA has got you covered. We might as well have called this ‘The Egalitarian Issue’, because there really is something for everyone.

My VLISCO
FAMILY BY
ENIAFE MOMODU
With Christmastime fast approaching,
one thing on a lot of our minds is
family. For many of us, this season
means spending precious time with loved ones,
and if you're an African in the diaspora, chances
are you'll be on a flight back to the motherland
very soon to explore a bit more of the places your
ancestors called home. As the world becomes
more and more globalised, African people are
finding creative ways to stay connected to their
culture and heritage - and fashion is definitely
leading the way in that pursuit. From ankara
fabrics to wax prints and pagne, African prints
have maintained their popularity all over the world.
Whether it's creating matching attires for the family
reunion, or some stylish his-and-hers co-ords for
your wedding day, nothing says 'unity' quite like
a nice ankara fabric. Over the last 170 years,
Vlisco has helped Africans all over the world to
continue this tradition thanks to their continuously
evolving fabric, achieved through the exploration
of creativity, craftsmanship and their ever-evolving
printing methods. This year, Glam Africa teamed
up with Vlisco for the exciting new "My Vlisco
Family" campaign, which encouraged families to
show their love for one another by sharing photos
wearing matching outfits made with Vlisco prints.
To celebrate the successful campaign, Glam Africa
caught up with some of our favourite celebs to find
out what family means to them, and uncover how
they're using African prints to connect with their
loved ones.
