African fashion isn't "Art" (and why that's a good thing for sustainability)

Sorry, besties, African fashion isn't art and I mean this in the best way. I'd intended to use my example of South African luxury brand MaXhosa potentially suing Spanish fast fashion giant Zara for a good click baity title but I'm embracing my flop era. Also I hope it's clear that I think a lot of African fashion brands and designers are taking the right steps in creating sustainable, ethical fashion that's community centered, and that's the approach we should take on instead of these individualistic, capitalistic ideas of ownership and celebrity.
