Arise Magazine’s “Made in Africa” fashion show brought in an eclectic crowd Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York City on Thursday night (September 15). Pictured above CL founder/editor & author Angel Laws with celebrity stylist June Ambrose, singer Leona Lewis (who also performed), socialite/stylist Misa Hylton-Brim and singer Omarion were among the many people who attended.
The show brought 7 talented African designers and included Tsemaye Binitie, Pierre-Antoine Vettorello, Lanre Da Silva, KLuK CGTD, Jewel by Lisa, Asibelua, and Bunmi Koko. More photos of celebrity attendees below.

Damn. I hate that Omarion wears clothing that makes him look shorter than he already is.
It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn’t love you were in. There are no ‘exit’ signs in love, there is only an ‘on’ ramp. (( H_o_t_B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e. c_0_m )) Lots of my friends found their lovers through the se’rvice. You may have a try…
if you like then try it out
I would love to go out with him.
He looks SHORT to death!
Everyone looks FABULOUS; and it’s refreshing to see creations from African designers being displayed during NY Fashion Week.
2 quick obervations:
a) Angel is quite tall – something I never realized before
b) June Ambrose resembles Jill Marie Jones somewhat in her pic w/ Angel.
Good job CL for giving exposure to these designers and their work!! It’s appreciated.
ANGEL: PLEASE DO A REVIEW OF WHAT YOU”RE WEARING!!! I LOVE THE PIECES!!
I’d love to see you in a nude lip one day!
PS… LEESHALU: I don’t think Angel is all that tall, I just think that other chick is just suppper short
True…that could be the case
Angel is about 5’10 WITHOUT heels. With heels, she’s about 6’2″ (I think).
wow leona lewis got a really horrible nose job.
i feel bad for her.

Yeah that’s not a good look, I knew she was going to do something about her nose some day, but I think she would have been been better off with her old nose than this mess. Poor thing.
And she bought a pair of new titties, too!
Leona – I love her hair colour.
“Model” – I’m not too good with models but I swear I know who that is. Isn’t that like Sessilee Lopez or something?
Misa – she’s so small and cute. I don’t know how I feel about her hair colour though.
BJ Coleman – eww from the knee down.
Omarion – a little too much. the pants and the timbs make his legs appear shorter than they already are .. he needs more fitted pants.
Lanre – I think I like her shoes
Egypt and her husband are a beautiful couple
love misa’s bag
WTF is up with the black voo.doo priestess lipstick and look? Def not cute or approachable. Looks like you just finished eating something that doesn’t smell to nice.
Girl, have a seat and let this woman live her life. Miserabnle bumbaclot.
Blonde is not for Misa.
the fashion show was so amazing!!! OMG i’m so proud to see how talented are african designer!! my only dream is to be rich just to buy every peices!! love Jewel by lisa so bad!! Poor miss DA SIlva who felt! anyway, i think you are so lucky to assist of that show!!!! link to see the show:http://www.arisemagazine.net/made-in-africa-live/
MISA LOOKS ATROCIUS THE HAIR SHE JUST OVERKILLED I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE IS A STYLIST..WHEN SHE USED TO DESIGN LIL KIM AND MARY THEY ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE TRANNIES!!! THAT BLOND HAIR IS AWFUL! FIRED YOUR STYLIST!!
That’s some really nice outfits, tribe fabric will be in fashion for a while I’m sure.
Angel, girl you better work! Tell the people to take a seat—-if they can. Lovin’ the head piece/hair, next time just exaggerate it even more. So tall until you need a back brace just to stand up straight! Work girl!
Where did you all find and dust off Ms. BJ Coleman, lovin the shoes. Miss Ormarion, girl just forget it. It’s been all over, way too long and a wrap for you. You look like an AFRICAN midget bobblehead! Girl just STOP, ok!
Yes hunty! They had to promise Miss BJ that there would be some good african cock for him to show up. Then again, BJ Coleman will come to the opening of a can of tuna! No shade!
Angel did smash it, but of course she did. I would’ve loved to see her outfits for the whole week to be honest. I just can’t with pomarion. I wish he wouldn’t have been so literal or I guess so matchy-matchy. he could’ve kept some of the elements but I think to show a real eye for fashion he should’ve maybe tried some color blocking. with that jacket (or that belt) he had a great foundation.
Omarion outfit would be hot if he lost the Inspector Gadget coat.
Chile, more like “Inspector F@ggot. No shade!
Wish we were there
Absolutely love the fashion. The prints are amazing.
