Description
Summary:	In this issue of Videofashion, go on a style safari of African-inspired runways. English eccentric Paul Smith draws inspiration from a new book, Gentlemen of Bakongo, and the styles of the fashion-obsessed Congolese dandies. Leni Riefenstahl and tribal art influence the spring collection of Londoner Roksanda Ilincic. A bold combination of swimsuits and sexy dresses light up the runway at Miss Bikini Luxe, while visions of an African sunset color the Salvatore Ferragamo summer collection. African influences run wild through Brooklyn designer Sophie Theallet's spring offerings, and Kimora Lee Simmons presents Moroccan motifs at Baby Phat. Plus, meet Swedish stunner Dorothea Barth Jorgensen.
