Following fashion in Cape Verde

Fashion in Cape Verde is mainly driven by the youth. There is a thriving fashion market here with local designers and even a couple modeling agencies. In fact, the top fashion agency here, VAISS Models (https://web.facebook.com/Vaissmodels) has recruited and developed local models who have made it to the runways of New York, Paris, Milan and other top international fashion hot spots, as well as right here in Africa!

Here is a clip from a local TV morning show highlighting one of the fashion designers. Several of the local models who ply the international catwalks are also in the clip:
