AfroStyle Magazine is a quarterly online African and Multicultural Fashion Editorial Magazine. AfroStyle recognizes the diversity and complexities of the human race and their unique cultural breath (style). Every culture has a rich, deep breath or style that cannot be ignored or marginalized. To ignore a nation's style is akin to cultural suppression and so AfroStyle embraces and showcases the way a culture chooses to design their dreams or visions of flare and dignity through fashion. AfroStyle Magazine speaks of value, expresses beauty, comments on attitude and identifies substantive style. It supports, celebrates and promotes Africa's fashion, beauty and lifestyle in its entirety and goes further to show the ways African fashion can be infused with today's fashion trends in clothes, beauty and accessories from the runways to the streets within and outside of Africa. Therefore, AfroStyle also celebrates the fashions and lifestyles of non-African cultures which in turn increases awareness and gives readers a closer and better understanding of Africans and vis versa. As a multi cultural magazine, AfroStyle seeks to the bridge the gap between African and Non-African cultures around the globe. The letter "O" that creates the "Afro" sound is symbolic because of our inclusive mindset and recognition of a global community or village. AfroStyle focuses on what unites us as a world community and not on the ideas that breaks the human link. AfroStyle is aware that a person's culture can stop them from seeing beyond their inherited or indoctrinated perceptions. Despite these hurdles and other differences, AfroStyle highlights what all cultures have in common and informs our readers to look not just with their cultivated minds but also with their human hearts. Thus, we travel around the globe to capture moments and inform our readers about stunning fashion expressions and stories that connects us all.
AfroStyle Magazine is geared towards to the sophisticated and urban audience between the ages of 17-50 (female) and 21-35 (male) with an open frame of mind. They are ready to go outside of their comfort zone and explore the happenings beyond their surroundings. They are ready to learn more about what is going on in the African Diaspora in fashion, culture, lifestyle, entertainment and everything in between and beyond Africa. They may or may not be familiar with African fashion; however, they want to know how to add a piece of Africa to their closet and lifestyle; as well as embrace and appreciate the fashion and lifestyle of non-African cultures highlighted in the magazine. Furthermore, they want to expand their minds through our interesting yet informative editorials.
