Models wear creations of bright colours and traditional cloth stitched into figure-hugging mini-dresses at Swahili Fashion Week in Dar es Salaam November 5, 2009. For women in Tanzania's humid Dar es Salaam port city, the "kanga" is must-have material, functioning as an everyday wraparound dress, bath towel, shawl and, when ragged, dish cloth and mop too.
