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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The staff at\u00a0VIP Express Tourism Limited<\/span>\u00a0explored the fashion shopping possibilities in Africa. Just as fashionable as\u00a0London, New York, Paris and Dubai<\/i>; Africa has some shopping jewels of her own. Ideal for the discerning Nigerian, the\u00a0Mall of Africa<\/span>\u00a0in 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.<\/p>\n The architecture of the\u00a0Mall of Africa<\/span>\u00a0was inspired by the geological features of our African continent and its iconic landscapes. The interior d\u00e9cor 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.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Mall of Africa<\/span>\u00a0is South Africa\u2019s largest shopping mall ever built in a single phase, with 130 000m2 of retail space and over 300 stores. International brands include\u00a0Zara Home, The Kooples, Mango Man, Elle Women, Steve Madden, Armani Exchange, H&M, River Island, Under Armour, Versace and many more.<\/strong><\/p>\n 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\u00a0New Urbanism design of walkable, mixed used environments<\/i>. This stunning shopping mall will ensure you experience your dose of retail therapy along 2,4km of shopping!<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.vipexpressnigeria.com\/images\/news-art-mall-africa-2.jpg\")
