THE AFRICA FASHION COLLECTIVE was conceptualized to bring together Designers and other stakeholders in the fashion industry in Africa and in diaspora under one umbrella; identify each designer’s potentials and synergizing all together, thereby bringing out the diversifying values of our collective fashion industry.
During this event, designers of all sorts of fashion apparels and accessories will have the opportunity to participate in the runway shows. Top designers will have the opportunity to showcase their clothing and accessories to the world as well as attracting both international and local buyers.
There are so many designers in Africa who are seeking a well grounded fashion show to showcase their collections for the whole world to see. We believe, the Africa Fashion Collective will be the mouth piece of Designers in Africa and in the diaspora to speak of their craftsmanship on the cutting table.
