The Sartorialist in Sinoni

Africa is a fashion adventure, particularly for those accustomed to office-bound colleagues wearing demure suits. In addition to the traditional, brightly-coloured African kangas that the women wrap around themselves, we see plenty of second-hand clothing from the West.

Every week, containers full of second-hand clothes arrive on African shores from the US, Europe and Australia. These containers are then transported to various towns around Africa and their wares sold at local markets.

Here's a selection of what's being worn in Sinoni at the moment...






One of our day askari supporting breast cancer research.






Our best dancer proudly wearing a glitzy jacket from Sandra Brewer's Dance Studio







Sunday finery... (with the exception of the dude in the back right corner)





This mama belongs in Vegas, not Sinoni...






I don't know who Alex Ferguson is, but he's a champion!





More support for breast cancer research.





America's favourite son is proudly worn on the chest of our cook extraordinaire.
