The fashion sector in Africa is brimming with opportunities. Today, the continent’s dynamic designers bring concrete economic benefits to communities and reshape the narratives about Africa, all while drawing inspiration from traditional skills and techniques.


Following the launch of the UNESCO report “The Fashion Sector in Africa: Trends, Challenges and Opportunities for Growth” at 2023 Lagos Fashion Week, Nigeria, we invited leading African creatives, private sector and decision makers to our Headquarter for a partnerships incubator.


Join us and discover the latest trends, challenges, and why we must come together now under a shared vision of unstoppable and sustainable “Made in Africa.”
