Gold in African Fashion: A Symbol of Wealth and Status

African fashion is all about symbolism and stories, and color plays an important role in telling those stories. Close your eyes and imagine what is African fashion. You’ll likely envision a variety of bright colors arranged in an energetic geometric pattern so intriguing, you’ll be tempted to look closer and longer.

Needless to say, gold is a powerful symbol of wealth, high status, and royalty in many African countries. A woman or man who dares to suit up in the regal gold hue is making a statement.

I am rich in spirit. I am successful. I am deserving of respect and adoration.
