Afrosartorialism is a blog that looks at African street fashion and fashion-focused digital culture from a Western perspective. As such, it is also an auto-ethnographic research proposition that focuses on identifying and overcoming possible biases in the way I, as part of the Western public, engage with representations of fashionable and stylish bodies in the continent.

These goals motivate my interviews with African emerging creatives. Recently I have had the pleasure to chat with Clinton Malik, fashion blogger from Kenya. I love his aesthetic and eye for detail that mix nostalgia and afrofuturism.

Head to Afrosartorialism - the blog to read the full interview.
