The Success of African Fashion Show for Charity 2024: A Celebration of Creativity, Cultural Diversity, and Philanthropy
On May 25, 2024, the National History Museum of Moldova came alive with the vibrant colors and diverse styles of the African Fashion Show for Charity. This event, attended by 250 people, featured 12 stunning fashion collections, all united by a single purpose: to support charitable causes. Yerie Mary Kamara Paglione, originally from Sierra Leone, the show is a testament to her passion for fashion and her dedication to philanthropy.
The event's face, international model Kamila Lumor, volunteered her time to support the cause, adding an extra layer of glamour and prestige to the occasion.
