The Gambia’s fashion industry has been incredibly overwhelmed with great advancement recently, and the need for fashionistas is on the rise. Over the years, fashion modeling has been dormant in The Gambia and most Gambian fashion brands were rather working with Senegalese in their domain to suit the cap. But that is steadily becoming a thing of the past now.
