Abstract
Africa being at the 2nd rank of the World’s Largest continents, has a history of about three hundred years with more than 50 countries, above 3000 different tribes and languages over 1000 kinds. I, as a Textile Designer, was very attracted to the different cultures lying in there. The colors and motifs used in their art speak a lot about the traditions and heritage of African Tribes. In this thesis, I will be exploring all the different tribes to express my impression through the best of my skills as a designer. The work shall consist of a step-by-step procedure of design development and its application. Various textile techniques shall be involved, and a lot of different materials shall also be explored for this thesis. A lot of samples will be developed and all of the work done throughout this journey shall be showcased at The Final Display. My work shall be displayed as an outcome of the Women’s Apparel Range which will cater to teenage girls to young adults. The work shall depict my understanding of the African Cultures and the best of my learning through the past four years of my degree program with the consultation of the concerned expertise.
