A Look Back at THIS DAY/ ARISE Magazine African Fashion Collective 2009


On February 13, 2009, Arise Magazine, the first global style and culture magazine dedicated to African achievement, music, business and politics celebrated it’s launch at The Promenade, Bryant Park. The event featured the designs of an African fashion collective: Xuly Bet of Mali, Stoned Cherrie of South Africa, MOMO and Tiffany Amber of Nigeria and a surprising appearance by the incomparable GRACE JONES. Special congratulations to Style Maven, BETHANN HARDISON who was presented with the first Arise/ThisDay Icon of Style Award by Mr. Nduka Obaigbena, Chairman of THISDAY Newspapers. Everybody loves Bethann Hardison, our favorite tireless fashion activist who’s been hosting Town Hall meetings around the nation to discuss the shameless lack of diversity in the fashion world!
