As seasons change, so does fashion. And most of us love to stay on top of the latest trends from around the world. We pour over online posts, magazines, lifestyle television programs and newspaper articles to stay on top of what the trendy celebrities are sporting at the red carpet events and plan on how we are going to make sure we are the first to get our hands on those glamorous fashion buys.
We as Nigerians are very sociable, love to be on top of the latest trends and take pride in their appearance. As international fashion brands are not overflowing in Nigeria, a lot of shopping gets done abroad.
The staff at VIP Express Tourism Limited explored the fashion shopping possibilities in Africa. Just as fashionable as London, New York, Paris and Dubai; Africa has some shopping jewels of her own. Ideal for the discerning Nigerian, the Mall of Africa in the heart of Gauteng in South Africa is one such shopping paradise. We researched some of the few unique features on why this mall should be added to your bucket list destinations, especially if you are a fashion shopping aficionado.
The architecture of the Mall of Africa was inspired by the geological features of our African continent and its iconic landscapes. The interior décor design reflects the five elements of Africa throughout the various main courts in the mall. The forests of central Africa, the great lakes in the east, the sand of the North African desert and the mineral wealth of southern Africa. The Oleum Court specifically is inspired by the West African oil wealth with bold colours and dramatic patterns.
The Mall of Africa is South Africa’s largest shopping mall ever built in a single phase, with 130 000m2 of retail space and over 300 stores. International brands include Zara Home, The Kooples, Mango Man, Elle Women, Steve Madden, Armani Exchange, H&M, River Island, Under Armour, Versace and many more. Not only will you experience incredible shopping opportunities, you will also be inspired by the environmentally sustainable materials and technologies used in what is called a New Urbanism design of walkable, mixed used environments. This stunning shopping mall will ensure you experience your dose of retail therapy along 2,4km of shopping! Make your next vacation a shopping dream come true. Ask the team at our partner Nowahala Tours, to book your trip to this fashion paradise when you visit the economic capital of South Africa next.
