Uzuri, The World’s First English-Language African Fashion Magazine

Uzuri, fills the much needed niche for African Designers and Fashion-Savvy African Women

World’s first English-language African fashion magazine, UZURI, fills the much needed niche for African designers and fashion-savvy African women

Finally, a publication that caters solely to the needs and interests of African designers and contemporary African women has launched to a well-receiving audience. UZURI’s mission is to recapture the “lost voice” of African women and bring it to the forefront through a high-end fashion magazine and website. UZURI will feature the latest in hair care and cosmetics specifically for women of African heritage, as well as in-depth coverage of fashion weeks and trends from mainland Africa to the Caribbean and international runways including London, Paris, New York, Johannesburg, Doaula and Nairobi.

The diverse UZURI staff decided to launch this targeted print and online magazine to fill a long-empty void for editorial appealing to the modern women of African and Diaspora. “We recognize and celebrate different body types, lifestyles, cultures, generations and careers of African women,” said Fidelis Atabong, owner and founder of UZURI and the non-profit organization UZURI Cancer Foundation. “I have been thinking about starting an African fashion magazine for 20 years. I chose the name UZURI because it means ‘beauty in Swahili. I wanted to create a platform where the African woman can discover herself and emerging African designers can showcase their work. The goal is to introduce their collections to fashion buyers and mainstream fashion houses.”

UZURI will feature haute couture designers like Alphadi, Imane Ayissi and Xuly Bet. African women no longer need to scour the Internet looking for tips on fashion, or makeup for women of color and hairstyles especially for African hair. UZURI spotlights innovative styles from leading stylists around the world. The magazine’s staff knows there is more to life than fashion and beauty, which is why in addition to their unique approach to fashion and beauty reporting, they cover world news events and information about exotic travel destinations.
