camouflage pants worn ironically by anti-war protesters. In the late 1990s ski goggles became a popular accessory in hip hop fashion. Late 1990s (1997–1999) African fashion During the mid and late 1990s, the silk Madiba shirt became popular in South Africa and the wider global community. From 1996 to 1998, traditional African clothing began to face serious competition from cheap imported mitumba clothing as a consequence of the Kenyan and Tanzanian government's easing of trade restrictions during the early to mid 1990s.
