Black Arts Fest, Milam St side of the Municipal Auditorium: African clothing from Amadou Diallo

Bags, dresses, jackets, African fabrics, dance costumes: some of the above you will find in the ebullient Amadou Diallo's street boutique at the NW la Black Arts Fest.

What you don't find you may have designed and produced by the Senegalese tailor. His card reads "Master tailor: dialloafricanwf@hotmail.com." This is not the Diallo who caught 41 bullets from NYC police when he reached for his wallet, but the one alive and well in Dallas at 214-202-3738.
