So today, was reading one of my favourite celebrity gossip magazines. And came across this article of South African singer Lira being featured in L'uomo Vouge. The Italian Vogue's May issue is dedicated to 'rebranding Africa' with Ban Ki-moon,the secretary general of the UN on the cover.
Rebranding Africa to them stated from the Gurdian is:
"Africa is a land with a myriad of resources and unexpected opportunities; above all it is a young continent with a huge desire for self-affirmation and for men and women to be guaranteed the same measure of dignity. It is a 'continent in progress', a land in constant evolution, with an ongoing commitment to offering its people better living conditions," the editorial team at the Italian men's branch of Vogue explain in a press release. It continues: "Africa needs to recreate an image for itself that moves away from the picture of war and famine habitually presented to us by the media. And indeed there is a positive side to the continent, one where there are textile companies, oil deposits and modern cities rising up in countries we are as yet unfamiliar with; huge steps forward have been taken in the field of education, which have led to the building of primary schools, high schools and universities."
Lira looks stunning in the issue, representing South Africa and Africa as a whole. She is also a multi-platinum South African singer. Cant wait to read this issue and be blown away.
