The theme for the evening, “A Borderless Africa,” aligned with this year\u2019s festival focus on unity and collaboration across African nations. Ujiri, who serves as the Creative Advisor for Giants of Africa, emphasized the role of fashion in reflecting cultural backgrounds. “Fashion has the unique ability to illustrate cultural backgrounds, which cannot be more beautifully exemplified than in African heritage,” she said. “We are so proud to have been able to showcase just a few giants of African fashion today.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
