This is no ending !

Well.. Vogue Africa is not going to appear on newsstands anytime soon.
Indeed, Condé Nast, the publishing conglomerate that takes care of Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, GQ, Teen Vogue and Vogue among others, officially said no to a licence that would make my dream come true, in spite of Mario Epanya's wonderful work.. You wonder why ?! Humm, that's a very good question which answer remains unknown.

I really do not understand what the problem is. Africa's fashion scene is being recognized in the whole fashion world for being innovative and knowing how to blend freshness, classiness and some touches of tradition. From now on, Condé Nast shouldn't pretend to promote innovation anymore. Whoever did not get that Africa fashion sense was the future.. should definately review its standards.

To be continued..



* Mario Epanya announced that this would be the last cover of the fictitious magazine..
