For the Geo Quiz, we are looking for a city that is hosting a major fashion show this week. It is not Paris, Milan, or London.
It is Fashion Week in the West African nation of Senegal and more than 30 top African designers are in town.

The city we are looking for is Senegal’s largest city and the westernmost on the African continent.

Designers are there to showcase their creations -bold prints and stylish accessories — designs designs that reflect Africa’s many cultures.

Dakar is the answer to the Geo Quiz where dozens of top African fashion designers are taking part in the Fashion Week.

The BBC’s Thomas Fessy says organizers are hoping the Fashion Week will boost the profile of Africa’s emerging fashion industry.
