Versace one of our top designers here is an Italian fashion company and trade name founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. The first Versace boutique was opened in Milan’s Via della Spiga in 1978 (though the Versace family are from Reggio Calabria), and its popularity was immediate. Today, Versace is one of the world’s leading international fashion houses. Versace designs, markets, and distributes luxury clothing, accessories, makeup, and home furnishings under the various brands of the Versace Group. In 1994, the brand gained additional notoriety after the widespread coverage of the Black Versace dress of Elizabeth Hurley.

Dolce & Gabbana is also another Italian luxury industry fashion Company started by Italian designers Domenico Dolce (born 13 August 1958 in  Sicily) and Stefano Gabbana (born 14 November 1962 in Milan). By 2005 their turnover was €597 million. The two met in Milan in 1980 and worked for the same fashion house. In 1982 they established a designer consulting studio; in time it grew to become “Dolce & Gabbana”. They presented their first women’s collection in 1985 in Milan, where a year later their store would open its doors.
In the 2000s Dolce & Gabbana took a great deal of inspiration from the sport of football as well. Other forms of art were taking inspiration from Dolce & Gabbana too. In 2003 dance music artist Frankie Knuckles said that the fashion house was a “great barometer” for trends in both fashion and music.As for their impact on the design world, in 2002 the corsets that were a key part of early Dolce & Gabbana designs were being re-discovered by many of Europe’s main designers as a coming trend. In recent years Dolce & Gabbana has begun holding private viewings of their new collections for buyers, in order to sell their collections before they become public and in order to pre-empt the copying of their designs by fast fashion companies. Today is all about African inspired designs and Dolce & Gabana are not left behind in the race to remain at the top.

AFRICAN KINGS SERIES

A fascinating story about African Kings that cant be overlooked even in this modern era, is the first of its series being featured as we promise to carry you down the memory lane as we dig deep into the history of Africa. Enjoy the best of African’s Might, myth and legend.

Hannibal Barca (247 BC – 183 BC) was an African Carthaginian military commander, generally considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. Also credited for having major victories against the Roman Empire with his mighty warriors that marched into battle on the backs of great elephants! He was later defeated by the Roman Empire and returned to Carthage, North Africa where he was elected to the “Office of Suffete” which was the Highest Appointed Official in Carthage at that time.

SIDE NOTE: Contrary to the incorrect depictions passed down through history, Hannibal was NOT a White man. He was in fact a Black man of North Africa and the coins baring his likeness in the attached article clearly tell the real truth of who he was: http://www.blackhistoryheroes.com/2012/07/hannibal-barca-of-carthage-north-africa.html | model: Adonis Price | stylist & photographer: James C.
