Dakar Fashion Week Takes Style Back to the Streets

by Ricci Shryock

   One of Dakar Fashion Week's biggest events is free and high-end - a
   fashion show in a working class neighborhood. The event's founder,
   Senegalese designer Adama Paris, says the "Street Parade" is her
   favorite show of the week, because she gets to take fashion back to the
   streets where it belongs.
