CNN Style reports that Sub-Saharan Africa's fashion industry is worth $31 billion. Many of its young designers have been embraced by American celebrities such as Michelle Obama and Beyonce. Vibrant colors and intricate patterns represent a common thread through many offerings. One designer, lafrohemien, emphasizes this in its social media portfolio.

Any time I travel around Africa, I am always on the look out for young people who are expressing themselves through fashion and art. I met @Roaya_Nader while walking around Coptic Cairo. I was drawn to her style, beauty and pleasant spirit! #makeportraits #Cairo #Egypt #fashion
