It seems the theres is a hot fire debate among the diasporans on whether Africa should focus on building its own, or if the continent should embrace ‘globalization’ and align themselves with a powerful brand. Should Africa put energy into development and building its economy over producing a fashion magazine.

Mario Epanya the Paris based photographer opinion is the following on the matter is the following:

““Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit…I’m sorry, but we can’t enter into war with the people who created the internet, cell phones, and airplanes. No, I didn’t create the Ipad, life saving vaccines, or Google but I’m happy for the things that contribute to our lives so that the world advances….. I say YES to Vogue Africa if it will permit dynamic creation in African fashion and YES to Vogue Africa if it would allow Africans to re-appropriate their identity, and YES 10 million times to Vogue Africa.Brazil has its favellas, as does India. And they have their own Vogue editions..”
