Glitz Africa, publishers of Glitz Africa Magazine and
creators of the Glitz Africa Fashion Week, is proud to announce the “Glitz

Fashion fades, style is eternal. Style is expressing who you
are without having to say a word. The word style today is used in several
contexts and situations.

sought to redefine style by honouring path-breaking personalities who have
pioneered their respective fields, be it movies, business or industry.
