Fair Trade: Graduate Aims to Bring Fashion to Cameroon

Kibonen Nfi hopes that her country of Cameroon will soon realize that fashion is as legitimate and rewarding a career as being a doctor or lawyer, and will support its immense homegrown talent.

“After all, it happened with soccer,” explains Kibonen. “At first Cameroonian people were very sceptical the sport could be a professional pursuit, but now that they have seen the success it can bring, parents are encouraging their children in that area. Studying Fashion in Cameroon should be like studying any other subject.”
